Police fatally shoot man at Inglewood apartment

Once again... another innocent man selfishly murdered by the same police agency and officer who fatally murdered a young man not only a few months ago.
When are we going to stop allowing these monsters to patrol our communities and get away with killing Black Innocent People?
How many (fatal) "mistakes" is this agency going to allow this officer to make?
My family and I walk those very streets where this outfit patrols. I am affraid for our very lives, if this monster is once again allowed to get the protection from this agency and put back into our community, we need to step up and start PROTECTING ourselves from them, by any means NECESSARY.

Why is it, your community only gets outraged when a police officer shoots someone who's pulling a gun on them, but never gets outraged over the hundreds of black on black homocides. Your by any means necessary rant, rings hollow, when you don't care about these other murders, that happen every day in your community.

mmm im assuming youre caucasian... but... how dare you say we dont care about murders that happen every day in our community... im 20 years old and ive lost 4 friends to gang violence and countless friends to gang life... the problem is no one else in th country cares about our community... do u think for one second that if there were a bunch of police homicides and countless instances of police brutality in white communities it would happen as long as it has in ours? i think its time people stop judging us without truly knowing our circumstances and extend a hand to help... and i also think its time my community gets off its ass and does something about our circumstances... however... just because there is black on black violence in inglewood DOES NOT excuse the fact that this "cop" here to "protect and serve" our community has once again killed a black man... i wonder what would happen if a black cop was doing this to white ppl? intriguing thought

I agree with you!!! When I first saw this incident on the news I thought that could have been my son. If I was in the same position as those kids and I heard gun fire my first reaction would be to get in my car and leave. That is exactly what those kids did and one lost his life because of the officers’ negligence actions.

They took a life and just because their officers doesn’t give them a right!

The police didn't know who was behind the door. He just shot right through it and them claimed he saw a gun.

They even shoot other police because they don't know what in the hell that they are doing:

Long Beach police shoot Los Angeles police officer

LOS ANGELES (AP)-- Long Beach police officers shot and wounded an off-duty Los Angeles police officer early Wednesday, authorities confirmed.

Officer Jason Geggie, a 1 1/2-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department, was shot after Long Beach officers responded to a call about a person brandishing a gun while walking down the street, Long Beach police Sgt. Dina Zapalski said.

Officers arriving at the scene on Mira Mar Avenue shot Geggie, 26, in the arm and torso.

"The officers got there and found the suspect in the area," Zapalski said. "When they went to contact him, he was armed with a firearm, and the circumstances led to an officer-involved shooting."

She did not give additional details but said Geggie pointed a gun toward officers.

The Long Beach officer who fired his weapon was placed on standard three-day administrative leave, Zapalski said.

Geggie, a Long Beach resident currently assigned to the LAPD's central traffic division, was taken to a local hospital and was in stable condition.

He was booked for investigation of two counts of exhibiting a firearm in a threatening manner, including once in the presence of a police officer.

Zapalski said investigators were trying to determine why Geggie was armed.

"We're still trying to figure that out," she said. "We have no idea why he was walking down the street with a firearm."

Long Beach police said a gun was recovered at the scene and none of its officers were injured.

Both police departments were investigating the shooting.
