No Right to Be Left the Fuck Alone in Free Range Prison: LAPD Shot a Black Man in the Back as He Walked Down the Street Holding a Car Part, Threatening Nobody. White Liberal Media Analyze the Car Part

From [HERE] and [HERE] When two Los Angeles police officers confronted Jermaine Petit on an evening in July, one of them quickly realized that reports Petit was carrying a gun were inaccurate.

“It’s not a gun, bro,” the officer told his partner about the metallic object in Petit’s hand, according to video of the incident from officers’ body-worn cameras that the Los Angeles Police Department made public Thursday.

But that realization wouldn’t matter. Less than half a minute later, Petit would be shot multiple times by an LAPD sergeant firing from inside his vehicle and the officer’s partner, who failed to hear the warning that Petit was unarmed, according to the videos and information released by the department.

Petit was taken to a hospital with serious injuries but has since been released, according to this family. No officers were injured.

On July 18, a man called 911 to report he had confronted a man who appeared homeless and was behind his house in the city’s Leimert Park neighborhood, according to the recordings released by the LAPD. The man refused to leave and had pulled a “pistol” on him, the homeowner said.

Officers were dispatched and, as they were looking for the man, another 911 caller said an armed man was walking up Degnan Boulevard, just north of Obama Boulevard. A short time later, two officers pulled up alongside Petit, who matched the description the callers had given, as he walked on Obama Boulevard. The LA Times misleads here to rationalize or normalize cop conduct- cops don’t answer 911 calls. They receive info from dispatch. At any rate, all law enforcement must seek to corroborate details in order to establish probable cause or reasonable ARTICULABLE suspicion otherwise they cannot stop, search or arrest- if cops get a call for a fat, old white man wearing a tuxedo with white a beard stealing a car when they come upon a suspect they must corroborate said details and determine whether a crime is occurring right now in this moment and whether he is involved in it, that is, if you believe in such things. Actually, lets go over their statist truths here just for kicks:

The 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, although only one sentence long, protects people against unjustified detentions by the government. It reads: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

In order for the police to stop you the Supreme Court has ruled that police must have reasonable articulable suspicion that there is criminal activity afoot and the person detained is involved in the activity. 

In order to frisk you the Supreme Court has ruled that the police must have independent reasonable articulable suspicion that the person is armed and dangerous before they may touch you (a cursory patdown for weapons). Police may not act on on the basis of an inchoate and unparticularized suspicion or a hunch - there must be some specific articulable facts along with reasonable inferences from those facts to justify the intrusion. [MORE]

Clearly these rules are only intended for white people. Non-whites are stopped, shot and then frisked because they are Non-white. This does not happen to white folks. It happens to Black and Latino people regardless of income, education, political affiliation or skin color.

Of course police cannot stop people because they have unknown black objects in their hand. There is no black object exception to so-called 4th Amendment - but racists might disagree with regard to stopping Blacks.]

The officer riding in the passenger seat quickly got out of the vehicle and ordered Petit to “come here.”

Petit continued walking away on the sidewalk, nervously turning back every few steps while repeating something unintelligible without stopping, the video shows. Again, the LA Times reporter misleads - if there is no reasonable ARTICULABLE suspicion to stop the Black man then police cannot lawfully stop him. Question here is, when they ordered him to stop, did the cops have articulable reasons to believe he had committed a crime? If so, what crime?

The officer walked after him with his gun drawn, telling him repeatedly to “take your hands out of your pockets, bro,” while his partner, who was identified by the LAPD as Officer Daryl Glover, drove ahead and stopped beside Petit, according to the video.

Glover exited the vehicle and, as he was pointing his weapon at Petit from a few feet away, the first officer told him that the object in Petit’s hand was not a gun.

The two officers broke into a jog to follow Petit and Glover asked, “What is — bro, you said it’s not a gun?”

The officer’s response was muffled and Glover didn’t hear it. “Huh?” he asked. So the cop was informed it was not a gun - that’s what he actually heard.

Immediately after the exchange, Glover shouts at Petit, “Hey, drop it!.” About three seconds later, the first of three shots were fired.

The videos released by the LAPD do not make clear who fired the first shot. In the days following the shooting, the LAPD said that two officers had fired their weapons, and identified them as Glover and Sgt. Brett Hayhoe, a supervisor who had arrived at the scene as Glover and his partner were chasing after Petit.

With regard to the possession of guns by Black people the bottom line here is that blacks are prohibited from possessing guns in the system of racism white supremacy. Whether the black individual posed a threat or possessed it unlawfully or lawfully is beside the point; no guns allowed for blacks. Any black person in possession of a gun or a black object in their hand or physically near a gun or black object or any black person says they ‘have a gun,’ can be executed anytime by cops. Particularly white liberal citizens, media and professionals in white liberal cities like LA, DC, Chicago, NYC, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Seattle and many more go on enforcing their hypocrisy of white lawlessness as law and order. Apparently, they just hope sleeping Blacks never notice.

In response to questions from The Times, Capt. Kelly Muniz, a department spokeswoman, clarified that Hayhoe fired first, shooting Petit while he was still inside his vehicle. Glover then fired. It is not clear from the videos if Hayhoe or Glover shot twice. The fact that Hayhoe fired from his vehicle was first reported by Sahra Sulaiman, a writer for StreetsBlog L.A.

As Petit writhed on the ground and moved his arm, Glover and his partner yelled at him to “Stop moving!” and “Stop reaching for it!” in reference to the magical black object he had been carrying. Hayhoe exited his vehicle and ordered the officers to back up and take cover behind a car.

The object was a black metal “latch actuator,” a part of a car door’s locking mechanism, which is shaped somewhat like a small handgun.

The case garnered attention after a police spokesman at a news conference the night of the shooting lied and said Petit had been carrying a “weapon” and then Police Chief Michel Moore corrected the obviously false claim the following day, saying Petit was holding the car part.

Anger flared again at a virtual community meeting several weeks later, which was cut short after a police captain lied again and said Petit was carrying as a “nonfunctioning firearm.”

Before the release of the video, relatives and friends of Petit had spent weeks pressing the Police Department for more information about the case, which has received attention on social media and among elected officials. Congresswoman and mayoral candidate Karen Bass said in a post on her Facebook page that the reports surrounding the shooting were “increasingly alarming,” while calling for a “full and transparent” investigation.

Police are seeking a misdemeanor charge of possession of an imitation weapon to be filed against Petit. A spokesman for the city attorney’s office said Thursday that a decision had not been made on whether to prosecute Petit.

The LAPD’s decision to pursue a criminal case has drawn strong condemnations from neighbors, activists and academics, who see the department’s response as an attempt to deflect scrutiny from its officers’ actions.

Nichole Jones, the mother of Petit’s daughter, said Petit is an Air Force veteran.
