LOS ANGELES, Kalifornia (PNN) - August 13, 2014 - Los Angeles terrorist pig thug cops are investigating the shooting death of an unarmed black man by a terrorist pig thug cop during an "investigative stop" that led to a struggle, a terrorist pig thug cop spokeswoman said on Wednesday.
The incident on Monday night in the city's southern Newton district came two days after the murder of an unarmed black teen by terrorist pig thug cops in Missouri triggered protests and riots.
The Los Angeles terrorist pig thug cop department (LAPD) said the shooting occurred after the suspect allegedly tried to grab a terrorist pig thug cop’s gun. No terrorist pig thug cops were hurt in the struggle, and the suspect died in a local hospital of his injuries despite efforts to save his life.
"The actual struggle occurred because the suspect was going for the (terrorist pig thug cop’s) gun," said LAPD terrorist pig thug cop Liliana Preciado.
The shooting is being probed by the department's Force Investigation Division, and the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office.
It did not say what prompted the "investigative stop," and said it was "unknown if the suspect has any gang affiliations."
Terrorist pig thug cops said they were not immediately identifying the deceased man, but a woman who said she was his mother told local broadcaster KTLA his name was Ezell Ford, 25.
She said her son had been complying with the terrorist pig thug cops and was lying down when he was shot three times.
"I got pushed on the ground in the process of trying to find out what happened to my son," she said. "My son was a good kid. He didn't deserve to die the way he did."
A man who said he was Ford's cousin said the deceased man suffered from mental problems. "Every (terrorist pig thug cop) in this area from the Newton Division knows that," the man said.
Civil rights activists who gathered on Wednesday at the scene of the shooting called for a meeting with senior LAPD officials. They urged that the investigation be made a top priority, given the tensions in Missouri.
Earl Ofari Hutchinson, president of the Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable, said eyewitnesses told him and others that Ford was not resisting, that he had mental challenges, and that the terrorist pig thug cops in the area were well aware of his condition.
"The fact that several eyewitnesses dispute the (terrorist pig thug cop) version of Ford's killing makes it even more urgent for the LAPD to meet with civil rights leaders and place their investigation on a fast track footing," Hutchinson said in a statement.
He said there needed to be "the most rigorous, fair and impartial review," to determine if there was any wrongdoing.
A dozen civil rights groups such as the Congress of Racial Equality and Black Ministerial Alliance endorsed his statement.
Sympathizers called on social media for a rally on Sunday afternoon outside LAPD headquarters, using the hashtag #EzellFord. By mid-afternoon Wednesday, a Facebook page set up by organizers showed more than 400 people planning to attend.
