ANAHEIM, Calif. - A police shooting that left a man dead led to a violent clash as angry witness threw bottles at officers who responded with tear gas and beanbag rounds to suppress the crowd, authorities said.
The man was shot in front of an apartment complex around 4 p.m. following a foot chase, Anaheim Sgt. Bob Dunn said. He died three hours later at a hospital.
As officers were investigating what happened at the scene, Dunn said an angry group of people began yelling and throwing bottles at them. He said that as officers detained several people, the crowd advanced on officers so they fired tear gas and beanbag rounds at them.
Video captured by a KCAL-TV crew showed a chaotic scene in which officers fired beanbag rounds as some people ducked to the ground while others scattered screaming. A man is seen yelling at an officer even as a weapon is pointed at him; two adults huddled to shield a boy and girl. Meanwhile, a police dog ran into several people sitting on the grass, including a woman and child in a stroller, before biting a man in the arm.
Dunn said the dog somehow got out of a patrol car and was "deployed accidentally."
Dunn said the man shot by police was one of three men who ran away from officers who approached them in an alley. The other two suspects have not been captured.
He would not say why police shot the man, saying that the details are under investigation by the Orange County District Attorney's office.
He said several people were arrested in the melee, but he couldn't immediately provide a figure.

Crystal Ventura, a 17-year-old who witnessed the shooting, told the Register the man had his back to the officer. She said the man was shot in the buttocks area. The man then went down on his knees, and she said he was struck by another bullet in the head. Another officer handcuffed the man who by then was on the ground and not moving, Ventura said.
"They searched his pockets, and there was a hole in his head, and I saw blood on his face," she told the newspaper. Dunn said he could not comment on these allegations because the shooting is under investigation.
One day after a lethal shooting rampage in Aurora, Colorado left twelve people dead and scores injured, another eruption of criminal violence left one dead and several others injured in Anaheim, California. The perpetrators of the second assault were officers from the Anaheim Police Department, who used “non-lethal” rounds — such as rubber bullets, which are reliably lethal at close range – to disperse a spontaneous protest that coalesced after the “officer-involved shooting” of a young man in the neighborhood.
Cell phone video of the police assault shows a wall of officers in riot gear directing “non-lethal” fire at a group of unarmed and terrified civilians — including several small children, who were shielded by a man who appeared to be their father. Another officer unleashed a police dog, which immediately attacked a stroller containing an infant. A bystander who interposed himself — and was mauled by the dog for doing so — probably saved the child’s life.
Those acts, in which private citizens protected the innocent from criminal violence at the hands of the State’s armed servants, were just as heroic as those of the three men in Aurora who died protecting their girlfriends during the shooting rampage.
Local news accounts, which retailed the department’s version of events, described the crowd as “unruly” and the protest as a “near-riot” in which angry citizens “encircled” the officers and “began throwing things, including bottles and possibly rocks, at them,” in the words of a Los Angeles Times report.The police also claimed that “several fires” had been started in trashcans. None of those claims have been been corroborated by video evidence or eyewitnesses. Nor have the police explained why the police gunned down the young man,referred to only as “Stomper,” after he and two others fled when approached by the cops.
Immediately after the shooting, several residents confronted the police to demand answers. The Anaheim PD — sensing an ominous tremor of righteous outrage on the part of a neighborhood that has endured seven “officer-involved shootings” this year — reverted to type as an army of occupation: Within a matter of minutes, the unarmed protesters were outnumbered by heavily armed cops in body armor.
In the wake of the Aurora massacre, the public has been encouraged to believe that because of private gun ownership, every public gathering place can be transformed into the scene of a massacre. The Anaheim police rampage illustrates how quickly the State’s armed enforcement caste — which, according to “gun control” activists, should have a monopoly on firearms — can turn any neighborhood into an urban war zone. http://www.infowars.com/the-post-aurora-rampage-few-have-heard-about/

Police shot their SEVENTH citizen this year and when confronted by locals who witnessed the shooting things spiraled out of control with the police shooting rubber bullets and setting dogs onto women and children! And yep I was right about the dog!
One harrowing moment was when a police dog somehow got free from an officer's car and went at several people. Dunn said it was unclear if anyone had been bitten or injured.
"The officer was quickly able to get the dog back into the vehicle," Dunn said.

that is EXACTLY where i used to live in anaheim. 727 north anna dr. anna and acacia are the same street that split up as they cross la palma. it is right there on that corner and the cop cars parked on my driveway in front of my old garage. i am not convinced the protesters are all innocent. i dont speak for all of them, of course you cant blame the whole bunch for the few bad apples, but i am sure most were disorderly. police do not fire rubber bullets or have a k-9 out for no reason. that street is a gang and drug street. gang members patrol that street all day long. if you go to the end of that street you literally risk being shot. the building next door to my apartment (more apartments) had 24/7 lookouts on the porch with cellphones to watch for cops because it was surrounded by drug houses and meth labs. they use "those little kids" that were apparently hit by rubber bullets. dont be fooled, those "kids" are little bastards. there were drive by shootings on that street every single week, just doors down from me. crash squads and gang units swarmed apartments there almost as often. its a total ghetto. every night there were loud drunken fiestas blasting mariachi music until 3 or 4 am from all of the other neighbors. i called the police a few times myself because i witnessed men assaulting/beating and flat out kidnapping women in the middle of the street (it wasnt random, they obviously knew the women, but still...). i had a friend come visit me once and she walked across the street to the liquor store to get change and some random puta asked her "hey bitch you wanna box?" my friend was pregnant at the time. i was the only white person in the neighborhood and i lived alone. they would always stare or maddog me but they were also scared shitless of my german shepherd. i never had any incidents with any of them, just those bastard children throwing shit at cars. this OIS was GANG related, the news story is sensationalist bullshit to make them look like victims and get everyone upset. that neighborhood is a gang craphole and it is everyone's fault for constantly looking out for and protecting the gang members. i dont feel sorry for any of them to be honest. i lived there for 2 years and i saw them have a shoot out with police. they shut down that whole intersection for it. this kind of stuff is an almost daily occurrence and nothing out of the ordinary for that neighborhood. why it is being presented in the news like this, i really have no idea. its nothing new at all. they dont have any respect for this country at all. they hate police and all they care about is mexico, their gang, their family, and making money on american streets with american money. i wouldnt say this if it wasnt true. "stomper" (if that doesnt sound like a violent criminal, i dont know what does) got capped for a reason. he ran from police for many reasons. there is no one to blame here but himself. 1 of the men who was shot by rubber bullets looks a lot like the guy who would always get wasted drunk from the daily all-night fiestas and pace up and down the street yelling profanities in spanish. he caused a big scene once because he started beating up somebody's car and some women came out to try and stop him. im not sure if its the same guy, but it really does look a lot like the "borracho loco" i remember. one time he just stood in the middle of the street and ripped his shirt off / in half, screaming. :/
ReplyDeleteThe cops just shot a guy in the back of the head....any neighbourhood that didnt get unruly over that needs to examine its priorities
ReplyDeleteSometimes this is called deliberate thinking which is very much a sub-category of critical thinking.
