In Salinas, California there have been three fatal shootings from police officers. All of which are latino men. The last shooting was caught on video spreading this around and causing an outrage in Salinas. In the video it looked like a man was backing away from the officers trying to get away slowly but the officers had him cornered to a fence. Apparently the officers had tased this man already and it did not affect him which cause them to shoot because they could not stop him. From the video i think that these officers could have easily tacked this man down or something similar, they did not have to shoot it was completely unnecessary. I hope these officers go to jail.

I agree the man did not do anything harmful and should not have been shot. Police are showing their abuse of power and need to stop. They absolutely could have dealt with this problem differently , shooting should be a last resort.
