A judge has just sanctioned the release of a two-year-old police video that shows the shooting of an unarmed man in Los Angeles by the name of Ricardo Diaz Zeferino. The situation started back in 2013 when Zeferino found out his brother’s bike was stolen. Police arrived and shot Zeferino to death. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point) host The Young Turks. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Dashcam videos that police in Los Angeles tried to keep secret – showing the final moments of Ricardo Diaz Zeferino and his fatal shooting by officers – have finally become public under a judge’s order that followed prolonged legal wrangling.
Police are shown with guns drawn approaching Diaz Zeferino and two other men standing by a pavement. The officers order them to raise their hands. They comply. Diaz Zeferino then lowers and raises his hands several times and removes his cap, apparently confused. Three officers open fire, killing him with eight bullets. They also wounded one of the other men.”*
