Old School Vet Puts Hands on Youngster in Gas Station Scuffle

A little respect goes a long way. I come from a period of history when we helped the elderly. It seems like a lot of these kids nowadays will challenge anyone and that’s not a good look, nor funny or cool. Disrespect don’t earn respect.

Video Shows Police Shooting Man Seven Times Outside California 7-Eleven 

LA Times– The deadly encounter occurred about 9:30 a.m., when the officer contacted the man at the 7-Eleven at 6012 Edinger Ave. and the two got into an altercation. The man was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The bystander who captured the video told The Times that he was in his car when he saw a police officer backing his cruiser out of the 7-Eleven parking lot. The officer stopped and flashed his headlights at a man dressed in dark clothing. When the officer got out of his vehicle and approached, the man swung at the officer.

The videos show the man standing, turning and hunching his shoulders as the sound of up to seven gunshots can be heard. The officer’s voice also can be heard shouting, “Get down!” The man then drops a dark object from his right hand and collapses to the ground.

Do you think the police officer was justified in shooting this young man seven times?

WATCH: Is Haiti Prison The Most Evil In The World? 

This eye opening documentary goes deep inside the trenches of Haiti’s biggest prison. 

Haiti, one of the poorest countries in the Caribbean and the world, is plagued with extreme crime and poverty.

The film highlights the severe overcrowding and uncontionably inhumane conditions that inmates are forced to live in inside the prison. It also exposes the brazen corruption within the Haitian judicial system.

This place makes Pelican Bay or Rikers Island look like a 5 star resort in comparison. I don’t doubt that US prisoners have it hard behind bars but inevitably nothing compares to the struggle in foreign prisons. Mainly because they have absolutely no regulations or regard for human life.

It’s impossible to fathom anyone living under such diabolical conditions.
