A Los Angeles county sheriff’s deputy shot and killed a 27-year-old woman who had called 911 to report that she was under attack by a former boyfriend, police officials and lawyers for the victim’s family said on Thursday. Records show the deputy had killed another person in similar circumstances three years ago.
On 4 December, Niani Finlayson called police and “reported that her boyfriend would not leave her alone and then screaming and sounds of a struggle could be heard”, the LA sheriff’s department (LASD) said in a statement. When deputies arrived at the apartment in Lancaster, a city in the northern region of LA county, they could hear screaming, LASD said.
Finlayson was inside with her nine-year-old daughter and had been injured by her ex-boyfriend and wanted him removed, her family’s attorneys said. The exact circumstances that led to the fatal shooting are unclear and LASD has so far declined to release body-camera footage.
Uh, murder is the word you’re looking for
They “egregiously passed a bullet through the vital matter of a person who probably was the perpetrator they were calling about because they were black.” It’s not murder, it’s just American cops daily quota.
Fuck American cops.
The firearm flew out of the officer’s holster and bullets were fired. Also, a woman died of acute lead poisoning.
involuntary manslaughter
There’s footage to be released next week. I’ll wait until then to raise my pitchfork.
You need clarity when it comes to cops, they could also have kneeled on her neck or beaten her to death.
