This happened a few years ago in an area of town, they finally settled for over 4.7 million in a wrongful death lawsuit.  The  Police were trying to prevent the video from coming out and today a judge ruled that the video needs to be seen.    I am still baffled as to why they opened fire on someone who by all accounts in the video was following every instruction they asked.  Just another Southern California police mistake and then they wonder why people have trouble in trusting them.

|FYI This video of the incident is  graphic so proceed with caution

I know cops are taught that way, but why do they shoot to kill?
If someone has a knife and is coming at you, a shot on the leg would stop them.
Who made the police  judge, jury and executioner.
