Shocking video has been released showing the moment Los
Angeles cops shot dead a bipolar man carrying a plastic fork.
Jason Maccani, 36, was gunned down in a Skid Row warehouse
on Saturday. Police were called to the scene to a report of
a man threatening people with a 'stick or pole.'
Authorities claimed the deceased 'charged' at them, but
video shows how Maccani initially complied with orders
to surrender, before dropping his hands and advancing
towards them.
This prompted cops to begin firing beanbags and rubber
projectiles before rookie officer Caleb Garcia-Alamilla
discharged a lethal round into the victim's chest.
'You're telling me you thought that was a knife or a weapon
that could seriously injure you?' Mike Maccani, Jason's
brother fumed to the LA Times. 'I'd be more scared of a closed
fist than a white plastic fork.'

It's all OK though, the victim was a "colonizer" ...
