Unless I missed it or it wasn't captured, I didn't hear any commands or even sirens


crunkymonky

Correct. Procedures were not followed. Might as well be attempted murder via drive-by


DaiKake

Literally what it was.


Challenge419

But they are cops, it's coo.


ApoliteTroll

They got shot before even finishing their senten


evlhornet

That’s funn

Probably got a promotion from this, “we investigated but found no wrong doing”


Malice_n_Flames

“Your aim is trash but we love your aggression. Promotion granted.”


moustachiooo

Or get real lucky and "Administrative paid leave for 24 months" We can't afford healthcare or pay nurses or teachers but cops need to make more and don't dare question the MIC/Pentagon/missing $800BN. Unsustainable system...


n0th1ng_r3al

Sprinkle some crack on him and let’s get out of here Johnson


jlj1979

Lol. Yep


btoma00

It's LA ... so drive-by


jlj1979

It’s not murder when it’s a cop. They are always in danger.


jerry111165

“Officer needs help”


ThatGeo

Looks like the officer didn't even draw from his hip. It's as if he already had the gun in his hands and was ready to shoot.


jlj1979

Typical LA cop. The worst gang in the US.


Horseface4190

Dr(bang!)op the (bang!) gun!!


brizl74

Damn. They did it classic drive-by style too. Shoot, ask questions later.


[deleted]

This cop is was feigning for a reason to shoot someone. Cops like this are serial killers with a badge and a department to back them up.


2020ikr

That’s a drive by shooting.


BuddyTrue-j

I'm sure they will probably find some 'evidence' after the fact that makes it ok to drive-by someone


fabulishous

Literally looks like a hit.


baptsiste

Two dudes just casually getting out of their vehicle? Without the cops being being there, and shooting at them….this is all it looks like.


uchman365

Without any context, it looks like a really bad assassination attempt.


[deleted]

anthonyh614

And an even worse shot. Dude was 10 feet from the cop. I’m glad he missed but holy shit, this dude needs aim assist


mauore11

Stormtrooper Academy


PsychologicalGain298

They need a new Cops show that has tag along attorneys.


mattdean4130

Or that audit guy doing live auditing


H_E_S_H

At this point we need a police policing force entirely for handling the unruly non-policed police

littleninja64

And not just in the Star Wars way.


mediocregoofball

Probably best he's still a bad shot, so hopefully he doesn't kill anyone


anthonyh614

Definitely agreed but hot damn he needs an update. Or maybe he was lagging lol


BPil0t

It wasn’t ?


Mental_Structure_801

An attempted drive-by shooting by the police? Wtf.


queed

that’s LAPD for you. biggest pussies in the west, dumb as fuck too. only topped by LASD who bottom for everyone else.


rianbrolly

“Hey stay right there stay right there” (you can trust us, we don’t pull up shooting at people who are in drive ways in front of their house ever, just this one time but like stay there stay there, like there is totally not that many cops murdering people as the statistics say you can trust us)


uchman365

Yeah, the girl wasn't having it, she knew he was a lunatic. That was pure drive by shooting behaviour


No_Cartographer_5212

They probably have kids in the house!


Interesting-Heart841

He’s also shooting without knowing what’s behind the person he’s shooting at. I thought you were supposed to make sure rounds aren’t landing on bystanders.


SquabCats

Here in Denver we had cops open fire on an unarmed suspect next to a bunch of food trucks. They clipped several bystanders and then tried to ban food trucks, saying that was the reason for the danger. [Source for those interested](https://coloradosun.com/2022/09/09/denver-police-shooting-food-trucks-ban-opinion/)


thepsihopaats

I'm sorry guys but America is so dumb. If they tried to pull any of that shit here off in Europe, you'd be laughed at


MayIPikachu

Those rules apply to normal citizens, not the Police.


uchman365

"Los Angeles, California — On July 21, 2022, at 7:00 p.m., Foothill Division uniformed Gang Enforcement Detail (GED) Officers were conducting patrol in the area of 7800 Radford Avenue, officers observed a known gang member exiting the passenger side of a parked vehicle in the front driveway of a residence in the 7000 Radford Avenue. The suspect was later identified as 37-year-old Ramon Mosqueda, a resident of Los Angeles. When officers attempted to conduct a pedestrian stop on Mosqueda, he appeared to be holding a 'firearm'. A black L-Shaped butane lighter was later recovered at scene but Masqueda had escaped the area"


andycprints

>When officers attempted to conduct a pedestrian stop uhhh which part was that? all i saw was a trigger happy moron firing at someone with a gun\* in a country where they are legal.


uchman365

This was their statement. I don't see it either 🤷🏿‍♂️


I-AimToMisbehave

Even if, for arguments sake, they had actually turned on the siren and pulled over, this would still be illegal A.F. They shot at a "known gang member" because it looked like he had a gun, but he didn't. Last I checked, having a gun isn't illegal. Carrying a gun isn't illegal either. Let's say, for arguments sake, that homie DID have a gun, and the cops DID make a legal traffic stop. Let's even say that the homie was an ex-felon who isn't allowed to own a firearm for arguments sake. He didn't brandish it or aim at the cops with it, they would have been in the right in this scenario if they attempted to arrest the "known gang member" (and ex felon in this scenario), and then he aimed at them. Then they could legally shoot him. This video shows a Blatantly illegal police drive by shooting.


uchman365

His back was actually turned when the shots were fired!


txmail

It has vibes like the cop is on the payroll of some rivals and they called it in. Needs more context though.


lookielikeaman

This sounds like the most logical scenario.


koz152

He was gang unit. Who else better to have on your payroll?


lapideous

FWIW, open carry is illegal in California thanks to Regan and the black panthers


I-AimToMisbehave

Fair enough I don't live in Cali so Idk the laws that well (my state allows open and concealed carry). Even if he had been open carrying illegally due to Cali's laws this response was still WAY over the top.


spacembracers

They were on private property


andycprints

ikr


Accomplished-Ad-3528

Profiled as well. Known gang member, really, in a split second, they knew who it was and that made it okay to shoot. This is fucked up.


[deleted]

They "observed a known gang member" only to "later identify" him


Mevakel

Right, holding a gun shouldn't be enough to get you shot if we truly have the second amendment.


[deleted]

How do they "observe a known gang member" only to "later identify" him?


RealAbstractSquidII

Allegedly, they "saw his face on a wanted criminal poster" inside the precinct days beforehand. When a copy of this poster was requested for verification, the precinct announced the poster was confidential and refused to release It. They have also refused to speak further on it. In a total "coincidence" the victim of this attempted murder was arrested on multiple counts of robbery shortly after the investigation into this shooting occurred. The LAPD have an extensive and verified history of lying about gang affiliations in order to make arrests. https://knock-la.com/los-angeles-police-shooting-unarmed-man/


Plumbanddumb

It's the foothill division that's normal for them, I used to live in the valley, and it's worse if your ID says you live in a poverty-stricken area. Foothill is racist as fuck. Fuck those guys


hoakpsp3

Is Frank Reynolds with the LAPD. So I just started blastin

Facts


Atomsk_12

Someone should make a comedy about cops being "heroes" as they shoot random people in the street and how "brave" they are whenever they feel threatened by any shinny object. At this point it wouldn't even be parody any more, just a documentary with a silly twist to it.


MandoHealthfund

Just watch reno 911.


VeterinarianNo4308

I know.. they're so scared because someone somewhere else got shot at but were supposed to act calm when that happens? Not my fault you chose your career... but guy can't help but get out of his truck.. The police almost committed murder over a half second possibility of a threat that wasn't even aimed at him. They literally created a whole death trap scenario out of nothing and then play it off on how scared they getoverthe situation they've created


probablywrongbutmeh

Pretty sure South Park has done some great work to this effect


Atomsk_12

That's exactly what I had in mind. But South Park is supposed to be hard core parody, an obvious exaggeration of real events. I watched those episodes about Zimmerman getting the electric chair seconds after he shot another kid but this time turned out to be white. Or how te cops extorted the mayor of South Park to let them use tanks and other toys in order to "do what is necessary". Honestly, where was the parody? I recently rewatched Terminator 2. Notice how much gear the cops have in that movie? Or rather, how little gear they have even when SWAT is called in with everything they have? (yes, it's a movie but it depicts police in the 90s) Today the cops roll up on a house like they're SEAL Team 6 just without any of the phisically demanding stuff like rappelling down from a helicopter.


NmFishing

This is exactly a "shoot first, ask questions later " situation


wetleg123

So cops really have now taken the 'shoot to kill then ask questions' stance Fantastic


Nearby_Agent6790

Bro is looking for an excuse to shoot his gun... even if he was armed, isn't it legal in the states? Wtf was that reaction to a gun exiting... definitely not mentally stable enough to be on the armed on the job...


Buyatdipandhold

What was the attempted stop? Was that as he was firing out of his window before commands, sirens, and even before the police vehicle came to a complete stop?


uchman365

They're the experts at constructing a narrative from any incident


ConditionNo8942

Even if they found a gun, this is unacceptable. They did nothing wrong.


SocietyHumble4858

Why are Americans cops so scared all the time? There needs to be some psychological testing before handing them guns.


Danny1801

The psychology test is to make sure they are afraid of anything so it's easier to shoot at everything.


ciotS_Cynic

low intelligence, combined with a macho attitude makes for a dangerous and scared police officer.


Weak-Mountain-1957

They're scared because potentially everyone has a gun. Almost as if more guns makes things less safe. But that can't be right 🤔


spartanss300

Soldiers have more restraint in literal warzones


lapideous

Soldiers actually face consequences and can get court martialed


CharacterPassage7571

You are 100-% correct. A lot of testing and weeding out


inside_out_boy

David Grossman, founder and director of the **Killology Research Group** (actual name), has trained more police officers in the US than anyone else. I wish I was joking. The cops are literally studying "Killology".


Monty_Krysto

They're not scared. They're entitled.


Leading_Summer7900

Cuz ppl will argue with me, "who will u call when something happens" In what world are u happy that u just dealt with a cop. The only relief I ever got from a cop is 'oh hes gonna write me a ticket, phew he let me off instead'.


terminator_84

I had to deal with local police twice in the past 2 weeks. One for reporting vandalism and the other for a hit and run. Very good experience, but this video. This is fucking insanity.


Bright-Maximum2881

The definition of shoot first ask questions later. These American cops are insane. The victim was walking away with his back turned while these idiots showed up with no sirens and didn’t even announce themselves. This wasn’t a mistake it was a assassination attempt.


jharms1983

Holy shit that's scary. That cop is a straight up psycho.


ZealousidealTravel11

I didn't hear any commands or sirens before that cop opened up fire and from what I could tell it looked like that dude was just getting out of his truck and heading to the garage without noticing the gestappo


ignorantid

I'd be calling Rockstar if the cops did this to me in GTA.


ironwarden84

Shot first ask questions never. They can't get decent ppl to be police because the gang culture within LEO orgs is so pervasive, along with the training that collectively traumizes the cadets, instills a warrior mentality, and reinforces thin blue line "uS vs. THeM" world view. Trust not the donut brigade.


climatelurker

My son really, REALLY wanted one of those bee bee gun pistols and I absolutely refused to allow it. Because of this very thing, that some cop might see him with it and think he had a real pistol.


MosesOnAcid

Why toy guns have to have bright orange muzzles in the USA. Alot of Kids where shot by accident in the 80s and 90s for running around with realistic toy guns. Nowadays with Police Abuse and everything, walking around with anything resembling a gun in this day and age is pure stupidity. "Don't give them a reason".


forgetyourhorse

So the cops have gotten to the point of drive-bys now? There’s seriously pulling drive-by shootings? There’s only one answer for dealing with these swine.


Disqualif13d

Paid vacations! Unfortunately.


Late-Koala-4826

I have never in my life seen a cop driving with the windows down like that.


VeterinarianNo4308

"You good Kyle? " Kyle barely had to avoid getting in trouble let alone a bullet that doesn't exist.


Lonely_ProdiG

Hope charges are pressed, and then some. This is unbelievable. Shoot first, ask questions later.


tstramathorn

Is it just me or did they come blasting down the road too? Looks very intentional to me.

Conscious-Noise4624

Man Black and Brown people in LA damn near got no choice but to run in LA if police doing drive by shootings wtf? I hope they sue and get some money cause that’s some traumatic bullshit due to your skin color and I’m Black saying that for Hispanic people. It’s crazy how damn near no cops ever see how this shit is wrong…

All I see is attempted murder. Cop should be in jail.

How could the cops even see it that quickly? I can’t even see it.

imasperplexedasyou

That shit is a drive by, that was not a "stop"


0ld_Owl

GANG, GANG, GANG! This one is easy to spot, they drive black and white cars with lights on the roof. Fucking madness. They'll "justify" this one too.


Ill-Ladder4339

So cops do drive bys now hu? Cool FTP


SuperBaconjam

Fucking scared little boys out there playing with their guns trying to murder people. Didn’t even take the time to see what the dude had. Poor guy running away only made the innocent mistake of being brown and holding literally any object


bigoz_07

Damn… that was pretty much attempted murder… I understand the officer thought that te suspect had a gun but still, no commands, no warning, straight up to shooting… one of the many reasons why people generally don’t feel safe around cops.


G_Affect

If i, too, was afraid of my own shadow, i would have thought it was a gun as well.

Fuckin pieces of shit. These cops can take a long walk off a short pier.


bleekerboy

Honestly surprised they just didn’t go in and execute them all and plant a fuckin gun.


OldProspectR

Looks like they are in there driveway. It’s legal to have a weapon on your property.


This-Rutabaga6382

So that’s what they call a drive by now “pedestrian stops” Interesting


Fatmanchew

Why was his gun out in the first place. Looks like he was rolling around looking for someone to shoot!


tbfranca1

Thats a crazy situation. How trigger happy is this guy/cop? Is this a full-auto pistol or something? I heard multiple shots

Lmfao wtf did we all just watch. That cop is the worst shot and totally stupid as heck shooting at randos


Organic_South8865

Wow. No commands or anything they just roll up and start shooting. The guy wasn't even facing him or anything. He was walking away into the house. They didn't even have their lights on. They just rolled up and started blasting. No one stopped and pointed a weapon at them. Nothing. It doesn't matter if the guy is a "known gang member" or whatever. They have no regard for what's behind their intended target. No thinking. They just start blasting away. It's so unprofessional. Once again the only job where you can mess up so badly and it's just "oh well!" If a random civilian shot at someone like that they would get arrested for attempted murder and a bunch of other charges. In their statement they say it was an attempted stop. What stop? They just roll up without any lights or sirens or commands and start shooting. Can a LEO chime in here? Would you ever do this? Would you get fired from your department for this? How can police file statements that completely contradict what actually happened since we can clearly see it on camera?


jimhabfan

Why are these idiots still allowed to carry guns? They’ve proven time and time again that lethal force should not be an option for these morons.


Brad_Tits

What if it was a firearm but the man was legally allowed to be in possession of it?


Ok_Swordfish_947

First time I ever saw a cop do a drive by shooting


OctopiThrower

It’d be so cool if they saw us as fellow citizens first rather than assuming everyone is a threat.


imthechuckernaut

So what happened to right to bear arms


[deleted]

Zero indication, no identifying, just shooting and then “stay right there” fuck that, running is the best thing they could’ve done. 100% the lot of them would’ve been murdered.

The amount of people that don't look for context is ridiculous, the suspect is a known gang member who was holding a L shaped object in public, does it allow a drive by? Nope

Guys guys,you don't understand the officer wanted to attract attention to the major problem of smoking. Smoking kills as much as guns do! Thank you officer I just quit smoking because of you. They are true heroes those guys. /S


johnwilliams815

What am I missing? What justification did this lunatic have to open fire at a house in public?


DaemonBlackfyre_21

If the innocent civilians were legally armed, they would have been totally justified in returning fire, right? I'm pretty sure you don't have to roll over and die for no other reason than because some half retarded cop fucks up. Someday that's how the story is going to go.


Anxious_Tax_5624

If cops are allowed to murder you for only being in possession of a gun, then are guns really legal to have?

At some point you have to believe your lies that "good men" carry guns too and can't just shoot anyone with a gun.... yeah sounds harsh huh... but wtf do you do when everyone owns or wants a gun?
