A Los Angeles county sheriff’s deputy shot and killed a 27-year-old woman who had called 911 to report that she was under attack by a former boyfriend, police officials and lawyers for the victim’s family said on Thursday. Records show the deputy had killed another person in similar circumstances three years ago.
On 4 December, Niani Finlayson called police and “reported that her boyfriend would not leave her alone and then screaming and sounds of a struggle could be heard”, the LA sheriff’s department (LASD) said in a statement. When deputies arrived at the apartment in Lancaster, a city in the northern region of LA county, they could hear screaming, LASD said.
Finlayson was inside with her nine-year-old daughter and had been injured by her ex-boyfriend and wanted him removed, her family’s attorneys said. The exact circumstances that led to the fatal shooting are unclear and LASD has so far declined to release body-camera footage.
It’s fine to call the cops if you’re white
I fucking hate American police. ACAB
No its not, I was down in Florida on the gulf side, my hotel was right beside a 3 mile bridge cops cut off access to my hotel because of Cynco de mayo (sorry for my butchering) my GF at the time drove around a cop car to get into the hotel, had our room key in my hands to show the officer, told us to keep driving or he was going to arrest for pulling an illegal manuver. Went about 100 yards past em back towards town I got out and walked over to explain we were just getting back from dinner. Cop instantly grabbed his cuffs and had his hand on the gun. Luckily others had complained and hotel staff came out to calm down the cops.
Fuck American cops

You’re right, police have wrongly killed people of all races.
However, it’s important to note that recent studies have found that “Black Americans are 3.23 times more likely than white Americans to be killed by police, according to a new study by researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.”
