A Los Angeles police officer was wounded by suspected “friendly fire” — that is, accidentally shot by a fellow officer — while responding Wednesday to a report of a distraught man in Hollywood, the LAPD said.
The officer’s injuries were not life-threatening, and she had been released from an area hospital as of Thursday morning, said Josh Rubenstein, a police spokesman. Officers had responded to reports of a suicidal man near Santa Monica Boulevard and Wilton Place about 2:10 p.m. and found a man holding scissors. A Rottweiler was nearby, but it was unclear whether the dog belonged to the man.
What occurred next is still under investigation, Rubenstein said. He could not say how many officers shot or what the target of the gunfire was.“It appears the officer was struck by ‘friendly fire,’ but that has not been confirmed,” the department wrote on Twitter late Wednesday. The man was taken into custody. He was not injured, Rubenstein said. However, the Rottweiler was hurt — Rubenstein did not say how — and taken to a veterinarian’s office.
Hello friend let me shoot you. Is there really such a thing as “friendly fire”? 🤔

Vallejo police chief supported firing officer over death of Black man shot 55 timesNew documents show that Vallejo's police chief recommended firing one of the officers who shot a man sleeping in a car with a gun in his lap. I watched the video and i was shocked. The dumb policemen ask the man to raise his hands after shooting him 55 times. Does America does an IQ test before recruitment in police? Or any half brained zombie as long as he is white,us recruited and armed?

Former Atlanta Police Officer Who Shot Rayshard Brooks Sues City Over FiringThe former Atlanta police officer charged with killing Rayshard Brooks has filed a lawsuit, saying his use of deadly force was justifiable and his firing has turned him into a “public spectacle.” Good for him, wish him well! Don't be a racist cop who kills black people and you won't be a 'public spectacle'. Pretty simple. Sure, shooting an unarmed man in the back as he runs away is totally justified.

Chicago cop could be fired for lying about 19-year-old Black man's deathSix years after a Black teenager was shot and killed by Chicago police, one of the officers involved could lose his badge.
