The black officer needs to be fired and jailed, for a long time. Trigger-happy killer, careless and ignored safety procedures. Doesn’t matter that he’s black, he is guilty of murdering an innocent teen girl.

Watch the full badge cam video. LAPD got the call that the attacker had a gun. He was beating the hell out of one woman in a side aisle. Cops came down the aisle, saw blood on the floor, this officer stepped around the corner and took three shots with a rifle at the aggressive, angry suspect - who they believed had a gun. Two rounds hit the suspect, the third went through the wall behind him and killed the girl who was hiding back there in the dressing room.

It looked to me like a good shoot of a very bad guy, with an unfortunate outcome from one stray round.

Yes, if he was white and the suspect and girl had been black we would probably dealing with riots again - but the officer did his job, IMHO.

if they can throw a cop into prison for accidentally pulling out her gun instead of her tazor and in the heat of chaos shoots and kills someone, immediately acknowledges it, then this black cop better get lots of prison time, because he killed someone intentionally as well as another person not even involved in the situation..

He pushed past two other armed officers who told him subsequently to hold off/slow down. He was itching to shoot somebody.
