did the homeless guy have any kind of record at all? if so, this was justified. /sarc
They might have mistook him for a dog.
To some, everything the police do is justified.
Wouldn't matter if he had a record or not. Police violence against citizens is ALWAYS justified. You want them to be able to go home to their families at night don't you? I'm sure he made a "threatening gesture" of some sort (like maybe looking at them).
And to prove my point I bet that if there is an investigation of the police (by the police), their actions will prove to be justified, and they will have followed "departmental procedures."
I have no idea why this was moved the “local news.” It can’t even be placed in “California” once moved there. This is certainly national news since the FBI is investigating and it’s been reported by every major paper in the country: The NY Times, LA Times, CNN, heck it’s really international news since the first I read about it was a link on Drudge from The Daily Mail in the UK.
I think this is too important to be buried in the smokey back room or something.
