Police in Los Angeles County gunned down a man who was preparing to swing a metal pipe at them in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant.
The entire heart-stopping shooting – 10 shots in all – was captured on video by two teens with a cell phone camera, who watched as the man walked out of the Carl’s Jr. about 9.30am Monday and apparently refused officers’ commands to surrender.
The dead man’s name is unknown and the names of the officers involved in the shooting have not been released.
Scroll down for video (Warning: Graphic content)
Standoff: The man refused officers’ orders to stand down and surrender, despite officers pointing their pistols at him after they shot him with a Taser
Open fire: This is the moment the officer on the right begins to fire, as the man looks prepared to swing his pipe at another officer who is trying to back out of the way
The man appears to be casually walking out of the burger joint after smashing windows at the restaurant.
Police approach and shoot him in the face with a Taser stun gun.
The man pulls the electric probes and wires out, takes a step then turns toward one of the officers and swings the metal bar.
That’s when one officer, holding a pistol in one hand and the leash of a police dog in the other, opens fire, shooting five times.
The man stumbles backwards and spins. He is still on his feet with his back to the shooter when a second officer fires five more times.
Hail of bullets: The officer on the right fires five times and the man (head visible behind the car) spins and stumbles. This is the moment a second officer five more times
Down: Police said the man (bottom right corner) died at the hospital, but the cameramen claimed they saw him stop breathing while he was still at the scene
He was taken to the hospital, where he died, police say.
The cameramen, who react with shock at what they see, apparently set up in their car to film the man’s encounter with officers after they saw him causing a disturbance in the restaurant.
‘Dude they shot him so many times!’ one of the onlookers says.
Before the video surfaced, police claimed the man had swung the pipe at officers. However, the footage does not show he actually took a swing.
Rather, it appears the man gripped the pipe like a baseball bat and was preparing to hit out with it.
The target of his fury, the officer with the Taser, appearing to be fumbling in his pocket for a cartridge to reload the stun gun.
Ineffective: The man, with his metal pipe in hand, pulls two Taser probes out of his face as the officer on the left tries to reload his stun gun
He backed up quickly to avoid the man’s swing.
Police were originally called to the restaurant on reports that a man was trying to break in. When they arrived, they spotted several people running from the restaurant.
The video shows police hide beside the door so the man will not see him until he walks outside.
‘Get your cameras out, they’re gonna drop him right here,’ one of the teens behind the camera says as the man steps out the door.
After the shooting, one of the teens comments: ‘They could have done something f**** different than f****** shoot him, use a baton or something.’
The video quickly became viral after the teens uploaded it to YouTube. It had more than 140,000 views since it was uploaded Monday.

nteresting how those teenagers were hoping for the suspect to come outside so they could watch him getting tasered and joking about it – only for him to get shot, whats worse they still laughed about it, sign of the times of US youth?

Seriously Tony?
After watching the video, all I see is trigger happy cops. I think your response says more about you than America’s youth.

It’s called “a Police State”. Haven’t you seen one of those before? And NO, it’s not a good thing …. shame on those who cheer this. Does that look like a trial before peers, innocent until proven guilty? I think not.

More americans laughing about someone being killed. We’ve seen it enough from pictures in Iraq. What is wrong with these people?

Guy loses his life for smashing some windows….you can clearly see from the video that he was using the metal bar to force the policeman back, not to hit him with it!!

You cannot see anything of the sort. You can see the man walks towards the officer in a threatening manner with the weapon in such a position that he was ready to swing it towards the officer. Whether he intended to attack the officer with it only he knows. How you can read this man’s mind is beyond me. Given that he has smashed a load of windows in a restaurant and obviously scared people so much that they have rang the police to say that he died for smashing a few windows is deliberately over simplifying the facts to make the police look bad. I have absolutely no doubt that you have never been in such a situation otherwise you would not have trivialised his actions.

I think the Police gave him plenty of chances … no respect for the law and if the tazer did not work and he chose to threaten it’s down to him .

People try to attack policemen in Los Angeles all the time. One of my friends is in the LAPD and he can’t even count the number of times that he’s been assaulted by gang members, people strung out on drugs – you name it. It’s an extremely dangerous job and this is their daily reality. They go into places that you and I wouldn’t dare set foot in. So, as you can imagine, it’s natural that they would be on the defensive at all times and protect themselves and the people around them. They probably didn’t need to shoot the guy, but see how you would react if a pipe-waving maniac nutjob was coming at you – repeatedly?! And there are people all around you, probably families and women and children? Who knew what the guy was going to do next?

“I hope the man with the metal pipe makes a decent recovery in hospital. The police should have only shot him five times. That would be enough to make him say sorry.
