Homeless Lives Matter Too






Lost His Life Here




Anthony Backburn, the bystander who shot the video, said he started filming with his cell phone after several officers surrounded a homeless man in front of his tent. I had y phone out you know videotaping the whole thing cause we've been hearing on the news about police brutality,  Blackburn told CNN. I just wanted to film it and just make sure everything was alright. But I ended up seeing a tragedy. I don't know what they found on him but there was no firearm!

Los Angeles police Commander Andrew Smith said the man was suspected of robbery. When officers tried to arrest him, he started fighting with them.




In news now is a article saying the man had immigration problems and I suppose that is justification to kill him robbing him of life; however as I understand it there about one million Immigrants currently living in California, should we all start shooting them????


Homeless Lives Matter Too



This is the second police involvement take down of a homeless man in the same week


where they  say he grabbed one of the officer's holsters. They used a "contact" Taser on him two or three times. He was finally subdued and taken into custody. 

Just another day in skid row


We must wonder how many white people do the LAPD jump on and tackle down for questioning??
