Police shoot and kill college student in Long Beach.

The kid took shrooms at a party, had a bad reaction, fell out a window. His friends call 911 to get him some medical assistance, because he's bleeding and confused. Cops show up and order him to stop and raise his hands, but he's confused and injured - "like a bird with a broken wing" - and doesn't comply. The officer tazed and then shot him, despite friends at the scene telling the officer he was unarmed and begging him not to shoot.

Anecdotally, he was a great guy. I didn't know him personally, but I competed in the same debate event he coached, and I've competed against several of his students before; he was part of the debate community. Really dedicated to helping others. His goal was to become a public defender.
