back in October and I wouldn't open the door (I live in sherman oaks). they said they had a report of 2 women screaming and fighting. I was alone. I called 911 myself and told them to tell the cops at my door to leave. They really scared the shit out of me. what would've happened if I'd opened the door? I was shaking. I don't trust the LAPD.

Also what happened to Kelly Thomas at the hands of the Fullerton Police department sickened me. Have you seen that video? It's disgusting. He was not doing anything and they murdered him.

It could be, but there is still the matter of extreme disproportion and a lack of fact-finding Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #6

Just the same as LAPD shooting up two Asian women imagining them to be a 280 lb. black man? Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #9

I have no words for the stupidity of that IcyPeas Feb 2013 #11

I'm referring to the incident in the OP. Skip Intro Feb 2013 #12

I know you were referring to the OP, but LAPD appear to have been trained to shoot first, Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #13

Cops know that no actions they do will cause them to lose their job, so why not shoot all you want. Logical Feb 2013 #14
