LAPD Suggests Mentally Disturbed Man They Killed Was In A Gang, Maybe

An eyewitness to the killing of Ezell Ford told The Huffington Post on Wednesday that he heard an officer with the Los Angeles Police Department shout "shoot him" before three bullets were unloaded into the unarmed, 25-year-old black man, who was on the ground.

"It is unknown if the suspect has any gang affiliations," the LAPD said in a statement after the killing.

But people in Ford's neighborhood said the young man was not remotely involved in gang activity. Leroy Hill said he was an eyewitness to the shooting Monday night, and confirmed that he heard three shots.

I thought the mentally disturbed were limited to police jobs?

But people in Ford's neighborhood said the young man was not remotely involved in gang activity.

Being engaged in the act of getting murdered by an armed gang of thugs doesn't count as being involved in gang activity? It takes two to commit murder, you know.

Look we know he's black, okay, so we assume he's in a gang. We're just trying to see which gang.

"... we just haven't decided WHICH gang, yet."

"The suspect was transported to a local hospital and after lifesaving efforts he succumbed to his injuries."

Possibly the most inflammatory statement I've read this week. "Injuries" rather than "gunshot wounds." The "suspect" (of what, precisely?) wasn't "killed," he merely "succumbed" to those unattributed "injuries." And are the hospital's "lifesaving efforts" supposed to salve the officers' efforts to the contrary?

And what were these supposed "doctors" thinking, trying to undo the lethal wounds that our benevolent protectors bestowed upon Mr. Ford? Maybe they're in the gang too!

[pan fried wylie]

If the patient dies, can the effort still be described as lifesaving?

"It is unknown if the suspect has any gang affiliations"

It's unknown whether or not he is a serial pedaphile.

It's unknown whether or not heis related to high ranking figures in ISIS.

Come to think of it, I've never seen LAPD deny their longstanding rumored involvement in smuggling underage children for sex slavery, nor the obsession with penetrating dogs allegedly common among many LAPD officers.

"... it's unknown if he has any terrorist connections."

[AlmightyJB]

Sounds like a hit actually.

It's one thing to be a mindless LAPD thug but what kind of retard does it take to be a spokeshole/apologist for this evil gang of executioners?

[Dweebston]

You're giving retards a bad rap. At least they're not executing other retards on a street corner.

[gimmeasammich]

They couldn't have at least planted some untaxed cigarettes on him?

[Andrew S.]

Does the police spokeshole have sex with sheep? I don't know whether he does or not. I'm just asking questions.
