Over the weekend, video has hit the net of LAPD shooting and killing a homeless man on Skid Row. Eyewitnesses of the attack tell Los Angeles Times “When Africa refused to comply with a police order to come out of the tent, officers used the Taser on him and dragged him out,” Dennis Horne said. “The officers tackled Africa to the ground, where he continued to fight, which led to the fatal shooting,” according to Horne.

Police responded to a call that came in of men fighting inside of a tent.

If you watch the video, you see the scuffle with Africa and LAPD. At one point you hear an officer yell, “he’s got my gun” before firing 5 shots.

Do you feel that this was justified?
