Not just Florida. Stemmed over a shooting of a Hispanic man, Manuel Diaz.

I've seen a couple of stories about this but I haven't seen one that said what Manuel was doing to get shot.  Anyone know the story on this?

There was another fatal Police shooting in Anaheim last night a few blocks from Disneyland just as I was leaving work.  The APD helo was orbiting overhead with the night sun on and you could hear police sirens coming from all over town.

The victim?  A known gang member seen riding in a stolen car who ran from the Police, crashed and was dumb enough to fire on the Officers when confronted. 

The morale of the story?  Don't run from the police DUmbass.

See this is a story.  You can see why the cops shot this person.  The other story all I'm able to find is that he was running.  I don't know of too many times a cop has shot someone just because they were running but none of the stories say he was suspected or seen doing something just that he was running.

It's kind of odd.

It's like the media doesn't want to give the full story or something.

Well if the cop was the bad guy then that needs to be told but if this guy was doing something nefarious then that should be reported too.

This is almost like the media race baiting by omission.

He was a known gang member seen by passing Police hanging around with other men. When the Police approached the group, the victim took off running and was chased by the Police.

The common factor in both shootings are gang members running from the Police.

because we would then know it was no big loss and go about our day.  I am not going to cry over a thief or a thug.  Sorry.

Once in awhile I'm extremely bored and I'll flip the telly on. (Mrs E has been out of town for a week, and the tube's been off the whole time except for last night for a bit.)

One of those "Stupid People Running from the Cops" shows was on.

This perp cut off a cop car in his own vehicle then, after he was pulled over, decided to pull a gun that was stuck in his waistband.

The cop showed incredible restraint and even though the cop had pulled his own gun, the perp ran away - never brandished or pointed the weapon at the cop, as far as I could tell.

The cop held his fire, gave chase. After the perp had commandeered a construction vehicle of some type, he was finally gunned down when he just couldn't let go of that weapon and pointed it at a cop.

I was really impressed with the first cop that had pulled the guy over. Things could have gone very badly very quickly, but the cop remained composed and in control. The cop held his fire, mostly because the perp was running (though he was carrying a pistol).

And yet the mayor of Anaheim is calling for an investigation.

The latinos in the Anaheim area are wanting to meet with the Police over this matter

"I feel that police officers lack respect for our community and don't understand us," Garcia said. "There is a feeling that cops are trigger-happy in our communities."

No, the Police are not trigger happy.  It's the people of your "tribe" who don't understand or respect the laws of this land.  Rule # 1 is when approached by a Police Officer, you need to put your hands in plain sight, make no sudden moves and comply with the Officer.  Failure to do so may lead to fatal consequences.

They don't.  They have an agenda to carry out.  And agenda that says if a black or hispanic is shot it's police brutality.

If a white man shoots a black man it's racist and a hate crime.

And there is no such thing as black on black crime.

This from the people who, so to speak, "shit where they eat."  Not some of the nicer neighborhoods in Anaheim, Orange, Garden Grove, Santa Ana...now why is that?

[JohnnyReb]

That didn't take long. TV news this morning says the family has filed a 50 million lawsuit.

and they're not doing anything to make it any better. 

ANAHEIM – More than 20 people were arrested as a crowd of 1,000 protesters clashed with police and damaged businesses in downtown Anaheim on Tuesday night and early Wednesday, as unrest over two fatal officer-involved shootings this weekend continued into a fourth day.
 
During a news conference Wednesday morning at police headquarters, Anaheim police Chief John Welter said the department will "not allow riotous, dangerous violations of the law by anyone. We will protect innocent people from being injured and property from being damaged."

At least six people were injured during the violent protest, with crowds setting trash fires, smashing windows at about 20 downtown businesses and throwing rocks and other projectiles at officers in riot gear who deployed bean bags and pepper balls at demonstrators refusing to disperse

The Anaheim City Hall is about 1 mile from Disneyland and last night the city seemed like a 3rd world country with all the police sirens and  Police and News helicoptors buzzing around the sky.  Idiot protestors vandalizing their own city to protest the deaths of gang thugs.  What a bunch of tards.

We had concerns about shooting our show last night with all of the helicoptors buzzing overhead but about 15 minutes before the show they must have gotten word because they moved about a mile north of our location to a safer airspace.

SO--- the other night I was delivering Meth to my customers, minding my own business.

 Came to this one house to sell to a 14 year old and his father met me at the door.  Asked all kinds of questions why a man 35 years old wanted to see his son, refused to let me in the house, so I barged in anyway.   Hell this was a $200.00 sale.

I am a private business man, own and operate my own company, have 4 others on the payroll and have big over head expenses  to pay.   My Customer had ordered from me and I being ethical had to deliver .

Both parents were unreasonable about this, the Mother came flying at me with a cast iron fry pan and the father got in my face.

I knew at this moment my life was in danger so I Held My Ground. I had no choice but to defend myself so I pulled my gun and shot both dead.   

Now I sit in Jail for defending myself, I did not threaten them in any way, just went to deliver an ordered product.

Funny thing came up today, I was at the WRONG house, should have been next door.    So I made a mistake, that does not give anyone any reason to attack me,   I have rights you know.
