Man With Sword Fatally Shot by Police at Church of Scientology in Inglewood; 2 Officers Struck by Gunfire

quote [ A sword-wielding suspect was fatally shot by police and two officers were struck by gunfire during an incident at a Church of Scientology in Inglewood Wednesday afternoon, police said.

The incident was reported at the church about 3:30 p.m. at 315 Market St., Inglewood Police Lt. Neal Cochran told KTLA. ]

So the cops shot each other? BTW - they misspelled "Florida."

"Two officers struck by gunfire."

Gotta give the mall ninja credit, apparently he deflected SOME of the bullets.

You can't say the cops shot each other. Because obviously the criminal made them shoot and is at fault for them "being struck by gun fire"

Like the cops who shot that social worker because he was lying on his back with his arms in the air shouting for them not to shoot the autistic guy who wouldn't put his toy truck down. Totally the social worker's fault for Peacefully Interceding While Black.

That was fucked. Guy even said he didn't know why he shot. Fucking asshole moron. When the only tool you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail. But the bias in reporting on cops is very ugly.

To be fair, a sword-wielding Bentley driver seems like the sort of attacker a Scientology church would attract, especially one that could use his Operating Thetan MEST-control powers to deflect bullets back at the officers, although he should have stuck around in auditing long enough to attain Cleared Theta Clear so he could have escaped into his own a pocket universe (assuming of course he hadn't and his corpse isn't just an illusion).

We got an epidemic of undertrained cops for sure. My neighbor is a retired cop, and he's pretty adamant about the fact that quality of officers has sharply declined since he left the force.

I heard a theory (take it with a grain of salt) that the FBI never actually broke the mafia in America. Instead, the mafia went into local law enforcement and have stayed off the radar.

Actually, white supremacists took over.

I feel like this narrative ignores a significant chunk of US history though...

Overt, nationalist white supremacists?

Makes sense. What's the different between the cops and the mafia? The mafia wear nicer suits.

Cops shot at a Scientology center... does it make me a terrible person that I was disappointed the body count wasn't higher?
Ankylosaur said @ 2:49am GMT on 30th Mar
Yes.

So that means there’s hope that my application to join the police department will be accepted.
