Inglewood residents protest fatal shootings by officers
They turn out at a City Council meeting to decry police killings of four people, three unarmed, in recent months.
...In the Franco shooting...officials were looking at the possibility that it was a case of "contagious fire" -- a phenomenon in which an officer opens fire after he hears other officers firing and misinterprets the shots as being an attack.
I'm curious about the circumstances of the other three killings, and can't help but wonder if there's an institutionalized mindset at work here. Having lived within a few miles of Inglewood for many years, I know first-hand what it's like there, as well as the effects of the police being the "Only Ones" legally armed.

With police answering a lot of calls in assault mode with guns drawn, this is going to happen more often, not less. Innocent people legally carrying guns will die because someone got spooked by Liberty, being unfamiliar with the concept.
