California police officers fatally shot a 20-year-old rapper who was sleeping in his car outside a Taco Bell, authorities said.

Six Vallejo officers fired “multiple rounds” at the man, identified by family as Willie McCoy, police said. McCoy had a handgun on him when the officers fired out of “fear for their own safety” on Saturday night, according to the department. The family of McCoy, whose rapper name was Willie Bo, said Tuesday that police had racially profiled the young black man and that there was no justification for using deadly force against someone who was sleeping and not a threat.

“There was no attempt to try to work out a peaceful solution,” Marc McCoy, Willie’s older brother, told the Guardian. “The police’s job is to arrest people who are breaking the law – not take the law into your own hands. You’re not judge, jury and executioner … We’re never going to get over this.”

Gun BAN. Not control. BAN!

Works here in Canada!

 

Only law enforcement officers can have guns or for those who have a license, hunting guns (that can only be used for the purpose of hunting)

 

Does not apply to 90% of population that is a city dweller and never hunts

Well, here it's police brutality, so the ban for civilians is moot in this case. Yeah, the guy had a handgun on him, but like... still

I'm...???? the dude was sleeping!! why would you shoot someone who's sleeping? if you wanna arrest him you can easily do it when he's f*cking asleep? so unnecessary!

Mmm i don't get it. Even without the racial profiling, shouldn't police be trained to maim and disarm but not kill? And why do they always have to fire multiple shots every time? These are not law enforcers, these are hunters.

That’s actually false, because their reasoning for killing him was because he was carrying a firearm.

Well it's 2 issues... Police brutality like u said yes

 

But if guns were banned it would more likely that he wouldn't have one to begin with and this wouldn't of happened

 

Yes a few individuals manage to still get their hands on guns in the black market. But not all do so the overall misuse of guns is still reduced

No wonder Trump can't afford the wall if they're spending money on 6 police officers per patrol
