Video shows L.A. police shooting man 12 times after he sought 'suicide by cop'

Recently released bodycam video footage from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department shows deputies shooting David Ordaz Jr., a 34-year-old, 12 times. Before Ordaz died in the shooting, he told his sister that he wished to die through"suicide by cop", provoking police into lethally shooting him.

LASD Sheriff Alex Villanueva said he saw the video and had"grave concerns" about the shooting. The officer involved has been relieved of duty pending an investigation. The man's family has since filed a federal wrongful death lawsuit against the county,"I'm currently with someone who is telling me they're suicidal," Ordaz's sister told a 911 dispatcher on March 14, the day of the shooting.

Ordaz's sister told police that she was sitting with him in a car outside of the family's home. She said Ordaz was armed with a 12-inch kitchen knife and that he might be on methamphetamines, a stimulant. She said that he had also mentioned"suicide by cop," which made her"afraid" for his life. A police bodycam video shows the officer-involved shootig death of David Ordaz Jr., a 34-year-old man. Ordaz reportedly wanted police to kill him in an incident of"suicide by cop." In this photo, a policeman aims a gun at the viewer.Bodycam footage of the incident shows that deputies arrived and Ordaz exited the car, knife in hand. He talked with police for several minutes. One deputy kept his gun pointed at Ordaz while saying,"We're not here to shoot you, dude.

The officers repeatedly told Ordaz to put the knife down so that they could help him. Ordaz's family members also exited the house to try and talk to Ordaz.

Soooo....if a patient says they would like to die by the hands of a Dr that Dr would be charged with murder!? How is it we find it ok for a cop to kill but not a Dr...he has lethal weapons that kill too....this society gives power to the wrong people!?
