ICYMI: Man Pointing Gun At Police and Children NOT Killed By Police [VIDEO]

 

More news has been discovered giving validation to the belief that only black men are shot and killed by the police.
A video released from August 7th, 2014 reveals police responding to a man, Lance Tamayo (age 45), waiving and pointing a gun at men, women, and children in Mission Bay Park, San Diego, but not fatally shooting to kill the individual.
This is a stark contrast to the what has been seen in the media where unarmed, black men have been shot multiple times and killed by law enforcement. The black men being shot by police are filled with bullets, where in this case with the white man waiving his guy was only shot one time and then negotiated with to move away from the gun as he fell.

12-22-2014 Car full of teens shot up. One girl dead, three injured.

“This is a human issue,” Shabazz said. “It’s not a Detroit issue. It’s not a Grosse Pointe issue. It’s not a black or white issue. It’s a human being issue. We cannot allow anyone to walk up to a car full of young people and indiscriminately start firing.

Anderson Cooper’s Interview With Four Mothers Of Unarmed Black Men Slain By Police Spotlights Racial Injustice

 

On Friday evening, four mothers came forward to tell the story of how they buried their children, a story that no parent should have to tell. Speaking with Anderson Cooper, the mothers of Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, Eric Garner and Tamir Rice came together to discuss the horrific reality of police brutality in America, and its disproportionate effects on black bodies. The interview marked the first time that all four women came together on national television, highlighting the growing national discomfort with an insidious trend of violence towards black, brown and minority men and women at the hands of law enforcement officials, and the insufficiency of a legal system that seems unconcerned with their existence.

Mentall ill Ezell Ford (age 25) Autopsy Shows He Was Shot Three Times, Once In The Back

 

LOS ANGELES — The official autopsy report for Ezell Ford, an unarmed, mentally ill black man shot to death by Los Angeles police in August, was released by the county coroner’s office Monday after the Los Angeles Police Department lifted an investigative hold that had blocked the report from public view for over four months.

The coroner’s investigation ruled Ford’s death a homicide by multiple gunshot wounds.

Ford, 25, was killed by LAPD officers Sharlton Wampler and Antonio Villegas, both on gang enforcement detail, shortly after 8 p.m. on Aug. 11 in the Florence neighborhood of South LA. The report provides the first detailed account from authorities of his injuries.

According to the autopsy report, Ford was shot three times, resulting in two fatal wounds and one nonfatal.

The skin around the fatal wound in Ford’s back had a “muzzle imprint,” which suggests that the shot was taken at close range. The second fatal wound was in Ford’s side abdomen. A third wound, ruled nonfatal by the coroner’s investigation, was on his right arm.
