True. Chicago '67 drew a lot of attention, and that wasn't "black". Then there was Kent State in '70. Whites gunning down whites.
But those who are innately prejudiced and whose knowledge of history doesn't extend past Rodney King will bark that it's all complete bullshit so that they don't have to examine their own biases.
As Walter Cronkite used to say, "and that's the way it is".
Family members said Tuesday that a 25-year-old man was complying with police orders when he was fatally shot by LAPD officers in the Florence neighborhood South Los Angeles.
Officers responded to a report of a possible officer-involved shooting at the intersection of West 65th Street and South Broadway (map) at 8:12 p.m. Monday, Lt. Ellis Imaizumi of the Los Angeles Police Department said Monday evening.
Patrol officers had “conducted an investigative stop” in the 200 block of 65th Street, and “during the stop a struggle ensued” and police opened fire, an LAPD news release issued midmorning Tuesday stated.
The man was transported to a hospital where he underwent surgery, according to Officer Sara Faden, spokeswoman for the LAPD. He later succumbed to his injuries, police confirmed.
Officers sustained minor scrapes during the altercation and did not require hospitalization, Imaizumi had said very early Tuesday. The news release stated no officers were injured.
Police were being tight-lipped with details about the incident because of a “gathering” at the scene of the shooting, Imaizumi said.
It was unknown if the “suspect” had any gang affiliations, police said in the news release.
A woman who said she was the deceased man’s mother identified him in a phone call to KTLA as Ezell Ford.
“My heart is so heavy,” Tritobia Ford said in an interview Tuesday evening. “My son was a good kid. He didn’t deserve to die the way he did.”
Her son was lying on the ground and complying with the officers’ commands when he was shot three times, Tritobia Ford said.
In the aftermath of the shooting, she said, police refused to inform her of where Ezell Ford was hospitalized.
An LAPD supervisor at the scene of the shooting was unaware of anyone being denied information, Faden said Tuesday.
The victim’s family members interviewed on camera at the scene of the shooting on Monday night supported Tritobia Ford’s account.
A man who did not give his name and identified himself only as a cousin of the victim described what he witnessed, saying he had been around the corner when the altercation first occurred.
“They laid him out and for whatever reason, they shot him in the back, knowing mentally, he has complications. Every officer in this area, from the Newton Division, knows that — that this child has mental problems,” the man said.
“The excessive force … there was no purpose for it. The multiple shootings in the back while he’s laying down? No. Then when the mom comes, they don’t try to console her … they pull the billy clubs out.” more . . .

DB, Thanks for the unintentional parody article you posted. It made exactly the point I was alluding to: blacks are unwilling to take any responsibility and continue to act in self-defeating ways. Of course, they always have compassionate liberals like you and Ricter slobbering over them, unless you are walking down a dark street and see a gang of them coming your way. Then you're praying for a cop.
One phrase summed up the article: "It is that deep irrational fear of young black men". Yes, it is sad that whites carry this deep irrational fear. After all, it is Amish kids who are playing the "knockout " game. And it is the rare black male who gets in trouble with the law, or might explode into violence at some perceived act of disrespect. Or tangle with the police rather than submit to their orders.
Seriously, do liberals really live in an alternative universe?
Of course we will now hear nonstop about the "unarmed college student" or "unarmed black youth" who was apparently selected at random and gunned down for no reason by a policeman. Just like we heard ad nauseum about poor little Travon, with his skittles, walking home minding his own business when he was stalked and hunted down by the monster Zimmerman. Only it turned out little Travon was over six feet tall and an accomplished burglar, among other distinctions, and he lay in wait and ambushed Zimmerman.
We know only too well how this current situation plays out. The local democrat prosecutor will be under intense pressure to indict the policeman, regardless of the evidence. At trial, we will hear radically different accounts of what happened. Whites will shake their heads and ask, why would you get into a fight with a cop? Blacks will burn with rage at the idea a white man killed a black one, regardless of the facts.

A universe that is an alternative to the racist one occupied by so many others?
Yes, we do. And the view is much nicer.
So you don't want to answer my questions, do you? I guess I'm not surprised.
As for linking videos, just use the direct youtube link. You don't need to use embed anymore.
Fantasy land is always prettier.
You ignored my question, too. At least you and Ricter are consistent.
I don't really want to share my personal opinion, no, and that's my prerogative. My point is that we appear to have a "cluster" of inflaming incidents happening.
Thanks for the posting tip.
I understand completely about why you don't want to share your personal opinion - because to do so means you'd have to violate your posted narrative around here.
Not sharing works, though. It says essentially the same thing, and answers the question just fine.
What do we know for sure in this case? A cop shot a young black man dead. Other than that I don't know of any absolutes for public viewing. Everything thing else is conjecture.
Questions I have. Why was the kid being questioned/detained in the first place? Police say there was a scuffle in the car and a shot was fired. Was anyone hit? Was he already in the car when the scuffle ensued? If so, why wasn't he cuffed? "Witnesses" say the kid was running away? Why? Had his hands up, but running away? That doesn't make sense. You don't put your hands up and run away. You do one or the other, but not both. Perhaps he had his arms flailing away, but that's not surrendering. Why did the cop feel the need to keep shooting at a unarmed person that was running away?
So with all the unanswered questions, why is the leftist media and Race Baiting Inc. so busy creating a cop kills innocent kid narrative? Sadly, we all know the answer. Doesn't mean the kid wasn't unjustly gunned down by an overzealous cop, but it does mean that Race Baiting Inc. is trying to create that impression. Business as usual.
