"[Pasadena Police Chief] Sanchez said a videotape shot near the taco truck shows the 17-year-old (see below) reaching into Carrillo's car and allegedly grabbing both a backpack and a laptop computer. Sanchez said [dead man] McDade acted as a "lookout" during the alleged burglary."
....
"The 17-year-old robbery suspect was later arrested and was charged Tuesday with two felony counts of commercial burglary, one felony count of grand theft property and one misdemeanor count of failing to register as a gang member, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. "
And still they slayed an unarmed man on the street.
And this happened because they believed he had a gun, because of a lie told to the police.
Do you see the reason that people should be allowed a trial before being shot dead in the street?
While you have the right principle in mind, the extent to which you take it is a bit ridiculous. Saying that people should have a trial before police take lethal action is just as extreme as the officers' action here.
