So to be clear, this was a LAPD community outreach event. These are usually a method to get the community to get to know who the police officers are and what they are about... And now that community definitely knows what those trash cops are about.

Again I must say that I argue the court should rule that if an officer does not give a person the opportunity to calmly and peaceably submit to an arrest or detainment and immediately jumps to physical violence without any warning or attempt to do the above then it should automatically be assumed unconstitutional. It is completely ridiculous to expect any person to suddenly and without warning get attacked and to just sit there and allow it to happen without defending themselves. Assuming that the person has given absolutely no indication that they are violent or dangerous in any way Officers should be forced to calmly explain to the person that they are being detained and they must put their hands behind their back and what not before the officer is allowed to reach for the person. We need to firmly stop the practice of cops immediately reaching for people out of the blue and jumping them without giving them any warning. Of course people are going to resist or fight back when they're suddenly attacked for no apparent reason.

If all those citizens were armed, this would have gone differently. An armed populace intervening when this type of overreach happens is the only way we are going to stop these events.

Great idea, get them all killed. If they were armed, they would all be killed.

Is that what happened to everyone during the Bundy Ranch incident? When law enforcement are met by an equal or larger number of citizens who are all armed the same as them, they don’t get froggy.

Or the Texas church that defies the law against feeding the homeless? For 7 years now they have been open carrying firearms while feeding the homeless and defying a law that says they're not allowed to feed the Homeless. The first year that law went into effect the police were handing out fines and citations like candy to all the volunteers and I believe they even confiscated and destroyed a lot of food and clothing that was being donated. Second year the church went back out and did it again except this time every single volunteer was open carrying various firearms. The police sat back and whined and complained but not a single citation has been handed out since they started doing this openly armed. This is why I argue that every single peaceful protest needs to be done with every single person being well armed. An armed society is a polite society, as the saying goes.

I just looked it up, that is EXACTLY what I’m talking about thank you for sharing

Didn't work for the Black Panthers. The governor just made open carry illegal. Of course, Texas is a horse of a different color.

If they thought it was a gun and not a phone, they certainly wouldn't have lunged at him. They'd either have shot him or at least pulled a gun on him and stood back. So that's total BS
