How are they out of control!!! this video does not contain the full facts!! all we see is man shot, we dont even know if he really is a homeless man! you cant tell in the video! and what the police are doing is making the crowd move back so they can secure a crime scene and investigate it!! thats all theyre doing!! so do not talk shit unless you get all the facts!! and cleary we do not get them in this video!! idiot!!!!!

What a bunch of stupid crack heads. Obviously the loud mouth slapdick is trying to instigate the crowd. He more then likely did not see this OIS happen. Typical ghetto fuck. Cops are tyrants? what a piece of shit you are MRCOW. Mr"cow "needs to go to the pasture and eat some grass. Typical anti cop chat, until you need a cop then you cry MAMA. Get real you stupid libs, cops deal with shit day in and day out period. You should be lucky the LAPD is by its moto, To Protect and to Serve.

Everything can be made to look bad when taken out of context.

Fuck the police???? Hmmmm really???

So when any of your family is dying on the ground because of a drive by who u gonna call??? You dad? Mom? Grandpa?? Friends?? Cousins?? What are they gonna do to solve it??

I'm pretty sure you or someone in your family are gonna call the police. It's so stupid when people say fuck the police, yet when they need help they call 911 lol

This video shows nothing but cops trying to control a xrime scene. I heard about this incident when it happened. The moral of the story is "DONT WALK UP ON COPS WITH A KNIFE AND YOU WILL NOT BE SHOT!"  The guy lived by the way.

@omaha715 Come the fuck on. It's 2011. I would PROBABLY agree with you if I didn't see this everyday around my town or if there weren't hundreds of these videos on YouTube, or if it wasn't for movies and music based on such activity from the police, or if the LAPD wasn't known for being corrupt, or if the cops weren't being so offensive against some protesters simply shooting video, but I just can't.
