8 LAPD police officers shoot and kill 'unarmed' Asian man, 19, with more than 90 rounds as dramatic car chase caught live on TV
Police helicoptor cameras capture the high-speed freeway chase
Suspect Abdul Arian heard saying: 'I have a gun'
Arian dodged flying bullets as police pursued the fleeing motorist
Uncle says he wanted to be a policeman, adding: 'He was a good boy, he'd never had a fight. He was the straightest kid you could know''
Shooting comes at sensitive time in the US on the back of Trayvon Martin's death

Yes, no doubt his hands looked a lot like a gun, so they had to kill him. Damn those gun shaped hands!!

Look how long he was running before he was hit and stopped. If those officers didn't realise he wasn't actually firing anything they need to hand their badges in. It'll be interesting to hear how many shots were fired in this takedown and how many officers were firing. It certainly looks like some of them need to get back on the firing range before they are allowed back on duty, at least.

If he told the Police he had a gun then he's only got his own stupidity to blame for his own death.

It's helpful that he phoned 911 while he was being pursued and let them know his intentions. If only all criminals were so cooperative.

So your a trained marksman, capable of making that judgement call or are you just basing your opinion on your skill on Call of Duty?

I make no claim to be a trained marksman. I would like those authorised to fire guns in public places to show a little expertise though, or is that too much to ask?

The man told the Police he was armed and motioned he had a gun.

He then ran other to someones car parked up on the motorway, IF he had a gun and shot a member of the public or a Police officer and no attempt had been made to stop him then what?

How can you state you want some expertise shown when you are not qualified to talk yourself?

Why did Barry Norman talk so much about films when he'd never made one or even been in one?

That's a lame comparison.

Another case of suicide by cops.
Might get interesting when it's MASS suicide by cops.

If they shot him on the first shot, you would be complaining about that to.

91 shots, apparently.

When one of the cops was asked why they fired 91 shots, he replied "That's all the ammo we had"

Probably.

LOL to funny!

Guess moving targets are a bit of a novelty to the LAPD?

It strikes me that the Obama regime kills their own people, and somebody should do sanctions and possibly intervene on humanitarian ground.
Mad dictator kills his own people.

Alert: Kofi Annan please report for new peace and cease fire mission in america.

So in this day of saving...

The whole Police force and its defense system is a fckn disgrace

The cost of bullets needs narrowed right down.

Whatever - your still not qualified to judge. At least you recognize that.

harryflashman · 14-04-2012, 12:08 PM

when I used to watch "Starsky and Hutch" and similar cop shows- the cops used to feel kind of bad when they blew someone away who it later turned out was unarmed and might even be up on charges.

Hence they at least used to have to go to the trouble of carrying around a second gun to leave next to the corpse.

Nowadays though it doesn´t seen to matter anymore.
