This week, we showed a video of what appears to be a "bad shooting" of someone in front of a Los Angeles synagogue by a security officer. Here is what is definitely a "good shooting" (justified). On January 7, a man named Ismail Hamed called 9-11 and requested police stating that he was a follower of ISIS and wanted to talk about the "suffering" of Palestinians and people in the Middle East. When an officer arrived, Hamed threw rocks at him and drew a knife advancing toward the officer. After repeatedly warning Hamed to stop advancing, the officer shot Hamed. Now law enforcement has released body cam footage of the shooting.
A couple of lessons here: If you pull a knife and advance toward a cop, you can expect to be shot.
The second lesson for all you UC Santa Cruz Community Studies and History of Consciousness majors who think the Palestinian cause is so just, is to ask yourselves why this mope has sympathies both for the Palestinian cause and ISIS.
"It's called connecting the dots."
