Shooting of knife wielding drunk man NOT police brutality
Los Angeles Police Department leadership has promised to investigate the fatal shooting of a Guatemalan immigrant day laborer. Meanwhile protesters have egged the police station and staged numerous protests. The bicycle officer shot the drunk individual when he wielded a knife. George Hemminger of Survive and Thrive TV says he was not shocked to hear about the incident because area police have become increasingly aggressive. He explained that it is easily visible; officers have begun to exert more control over the people by writing an increased number of tickets in order to make up for local budget downfalls. However, shooting a drunk man holding a knife in public is not brutality; "if you're drunk and you're brandishing a knife in public, you're gonna be shot by the police."
