The Los Angeles Police Department have murdered another homeless person, and now demonstrators are taking to the streets, demanding justice.
The protest began Monday evening, when Los Angeles residents heard of the police gunning down a homeless woman who was well-known as having mental health problems.
The Monday evening protest was organized by the activist group known as the Brown Berets. One of those members, August Cevada, told reporters that “Brown lives also matter.”
Family members say that Norma “Angie” Guzman, 37, had a history of mental illness.
“They should have TASED her or pepper sprayed her or something,” Brandy Morales, an acquaintance of Guzman, said.
Guzman said she was staying in a nearby house, of Morales’s father-in-law.
The LAPD has refused to explain why officers sprayed the mentally-ill woman with bullets, instead of using “non-lethal” options instead.
The incident happened on Sunday. That’s when Sgt. Frank Preciado said that two officers – including one rookie in training – responded to a call of a woman who had a knife.
Local NBC 4 says that Guzman was prone to what Morales called “fits,” in which Guzman shouted and behaved irrationally – but she had never hurt anyone.
There were numerous times that Guzman had been forcibly committed for psychiatric evaluation. In most of those cases, she was let out after 72 hours, but recently she was hospitalized for a full month.
It was clear, friends and family say, that she was mentally ill.
“Why did the police do this?” Guzman’s mother Gloria pleaded.
The LAPD has confirmed that the officers involved in the incident were in fact wearing body cameras. We asked them for a copy of the footage, but were told that the recordings have not been made public. We asked if they were going to be made public, but we received no comment.
LAPD Chief Charle Beck verified what we had been told, that the woman is on the video clearly begging to be shot, saying, “Shoot me, shoot me.”
The police seemed to think that it was their job to help suicidal, mentally-ill homeless people die, instead of getting them the medical attention that they need. Shortly after the woman begged to die, the officers unloaded on her.
“When an interaction between a law enforcement person and a person in crisis results in death, it’s always a tragedy,” Brittney Weissman, the Executive Director of the Los Angeles County Council of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, said in comment on this incident.
“We know being a police officer is a tough job. But the incident yesterday raises a lot of questions that we know the police commission and the LAPD have to investigate,” Weissman added.
Sheriff Jim McDonnell noted that 40% of the LAPD’s use of force involve mental illness.

"They encountered a female who had a blade approximately 8 inches long. Officers did make contact and an officer-involved-shooting occurred," Sgt. Frank Preciado said."
Apparently, Deckard is gonna start the "Crazy and Armed Brown Lives Matter" movement.
Not even the inner city animals of the Black Lives Matter movement cared about this psychotic, armed with a knife, shitbird.

Well, the cops once again displayed their cowardice and lack of empathy for a mentally troubled person.
Just like you asswipe.

Well, I think we have our explanation.

lack of empathy for a mentally troubled person.
You're an over sensitized sheep. It's your weakness that caused the deinstitutionalization... and released this trash upon society.
Maybe you should deal with them 7 or 8 times a week threatening you with a knife.
There must be a more libtard political forum where you'd be more at home. Start your own called "I love everyone and drugs post". Meguro, Fred, Willie and Hondo can be your moderators.

" LAPD Uses Suicidal Homeless Woman For Target Practice "
Why don't they use members of the Bloods, the Crips, MS 13, etc for target practice. Most people would cheer them on.

Because the bloods and the crips are smart enough not to point an 8" blade at the Po Po and not expect liberal sympathy.

How do British police officers manage to stop knife-wielding suspects safely when they don't carry firearms?
A knife-wielding suspect is likely to be shot by North American police for example, yet in England they do not carry firearms, yet deal with plenty of knife carrying suspects successfully, how?

They carry night sticks/billy clubs and they know how to use them quite well. Seen a bobby clean house one night in a pub in Haverhill, England it was all over in about 20 seconds. They also ride bicycles and look quite comical doing so but you wouldn't want to say so to him, they have no sense of humor when it comes to that...

True, but they would provide multiple targets, some moving. And would provide training in fast reloads. AND, local citizens would cheer LAPD on! Citizens would be grateful LAPD was taking out the trash!

Well, if a perp pulls a knife on a cop, or anybody, the perp deserves to be shot.

I agree... uniform or plain clothing, someone pulls a knife on me and ill ventilate their chest cavity.
Deckard is to liberally sympathetic to understand. He's been over sensitized by libtard MSM, like all the other sheep.

Agree. I would go for two to the chest, one to the face.

Excellent choice... but I carry 230 grain hollow point HST's for self defense.

Yes, the .45 ACP is hard to beat. You have selected excellent fodder. I think you will agree, that anything in .45 ACP is excellent for bad guy elimination, except blanks, LOL.

What is the difference between HST's & Hydra Shocks, which is what I put into my primary mags?
