Since you failed to include any detail, I'll add some.

The Gardena shooting occurred the night of [b][u]June 2, 2013,[/u][/b] after police responded to a call about a bicycle stolen from outside a CVS drugstore. A police dispatcher mistakenly told officers the crime was a robbery, which typically involves weapons or force.

The district attorney’s office declined to file charges against the officers. Deputy Dist. Atty. Rosa Alarcon wrote in a memo about the shooting that Diaz Zeferino ignored police commands and that toxicology tests after his death were postive for alcohol and methamphetamine. His right hand, she wrote, was no longer visible from the officers’ angle when they opened fire and it was reasonable for them to believe he was reaching for a weapon.

“They made a split-second decision and they were not required to hold fire in order to ascertain whether Diaz would, in fact, injure or kill them,” she wrote.

Do you, really?
I'm thinking the only fact you know about this case is that BLACK man died at the hand of a WHITE one.

Policework is a dangerous gig, but if you're going to be on a hair-trigger the whole time, maybe you're not cut out for it.

The positioning of the three likely contributed to the cops being nervous - but they're the ones telling them what to do .

And the dead guys are the ones not doing it.
