Post by Tyrese Gibson.
the next antebellum era hits hollywood. people are fed up with police brutality. just last night a man was shot and killed on hollywood & highland. they claim he was welding a knife, although no one has come forward as a victim. the knife turned out to be a swiss army knife. illegal? perhaps, but a reason to be gunned down dead?...
there will be civil unrest until the issue of the current "police state of mind" is addressed. btw~ the shooting victim was WHITE

A man who police say was carrying a knife has died after being shot by law enforcers in Hollywood, Los Angeles. He was taken to hospital but, did not recover from his injuries. A witness who took a video of the incident says the man was unarmed.
Police say they were responding to a report of an assault with a deadly weapon on Friday night. On arrival they were met with an “armed man,” CBS Los Angeles reported. According to Detective Meghan Aguilar, the man was carrying a knife.
“When he saw the officers, he approached them and an officer involved shooting occurred,” ABC News reported Aguilar as saying.
A witness speaking to Eyewitness News that she heard officers with guns drawn yelling, "He's still got a knife."
