White Officer Shoots Hispanic Man In The Head In Broad Daylight: Officer Involved Shooting - Salinas, CA 05/20/2014


The California Latino community is rightfully in an uproar over the fatal shooting of an Hispanic man by a white police officer earlier this week. According to Aljazeera reports, officers were responding to a 911 call where a woman claimed that a male intruder had entered her home, tried to kill her dog, and exposed his genitals.

The officers reportedly encountered the suspect on the street carrying gardening shears and claimed that they fired after a failed taser attempt when he “lunged at them” while refusing to stop walking when instructed. However, the video footage above tells a slightly different story.
