Long Beach Police Shoot ‘Suspicious’ Person on Bike

But he was unarmed. This is no different than Trayvon Martin or Michael Brown.
He was murdered in cold blood, mannnnnn!

A suspicious person on a bike?

[BenLurkin]

Kitty’s right to be suspicious!

“The officer didn’t just shoot him for the fun of it.”

You don’t know that.

Thanks.

I realize this mythology is part of the police union talking points but data simply doesn’t support this argument. It’s plain false.

BTW - back in the late 1960s & early 1970s, the people, including gangbangers, were more heavily armed than today.

I’m always suspicious when I see a man in a helmet swishing by on a girl’s bike.

I usually stop and show my ID to officers so I don’t get shot...not sure why this person wanted to be shot.

"And whatever you do, don’t look suspicious."

As a famous doctor & time lord once said: "Don't blink!"

"And, then I said, "Dude...thank you for making my day!", and he just groaned."

Well, that is the poor side of town. It would've been different if he was on Park Place.

Nothing will slow them down. There are no criminals in neighborly SoCal. It’s all still Leave It To Beaver, Beach Boys California.

Just ignore the bars on windows, drug haven homeless camps, graffiti, bail bonds in every strip mall cancer that is now the reality of so much of SoCal.

‘their’ should be ‘they’re’.

This incident happened in a lily white part of town. The victim was sitting on a stoop watering plants.

The victim was a middle aged white guy.

The Shooters are still on the job.

“the person allegedly fled on foot”

Shouldn’t the headline read suspicious person not on bike?
