Never did I think the police would do something so stupid as to murder this guy (assuming he is not dangerous in his actions) in front of so many witnesses.

The guy in the white SUV, rolled into this culdesac/dead end, with Long Beach Police and Los Angeles County Sheriffs in tow. He didn't budge from his vehicle for at least half an hour or more. Even some SWAT showed up. Some of law enforcement took up their positions from the sides, behind, above, and even beach side. Others walked around very relaxed, never feeling threatened. This guy finally got out his SUV, with some light colored stick or walking cane in hand. Never waved it around, or anything. Ended up dropping the stick/cane, when the dog was about to pounce on him. He ran away down the stairs, like a drunk trying to run. Even I saw his hands were free, just trying to bounce off the left and right side railing going down. Shooting him from behind with something non-lethal was BS enough, but hey whatever. Shooting him from the front - was bloody murder. We all heard a dozen or more pops or bangs with 1-2-3 seconds.
Police on the beach were not surprised by his coming down. They were positioned there, just in case. They (Long Beach PD, LA County Sheriffs and SWAT) all knew the game plan. They knew that officers in the culdesac had special non lethal weapons pointed at him.

Not only do I wish this mans family to be set for life financially, I hope that the police, and their bosses, are jailed for this murder. One can hope and dream, right?
