Buck Sexton: If police can execute an innocent man on video, none of us are safe

I'm sorry. I lived in south central la for most my life, and the sad part is this isn't an unreasonable fear. I remember an instance of the police shooting a local teenage kid. I don't remember what his deal was at the time but he definitely had mental issues. They shot him because he didn't comply. He wasn't a gang member, or violent, he was just some dude that walked around in his own world most the time. Sometimes yelling random, but harmless shit. They shot him because he didn't comply. As far as I know, nothing came of it. I also know that they shot an autistic man in Koreatown. Not to mention all the regular people who were, "reaching for their waistband." Fuck man, I'm mad now. You know how well known that police did this around southcentral. Every time we brought it up, the burden of proof was on us. I cant even imagine how helpless that feeling is. Now, we have fucking proof that this happens. Video evidence, and we are still forced to prove it and its still the same, desk-duty, paid leave while we investigate the murder you commited bullshit that I remember as a kid.
