The Los Angeles Police Department posted a video online this week showing two officers shooting and killing a man they thought was armed with a gun. Jose Barrera, 45, did not have a gun or any other weapon, but was holding a black cellphone and waving it around. He made it. The shooting is the latest in which the officers of the Los Angeles Police Department opened fire after they mistook the threat posed by the individual for a gun. In the video from the shooting that the department posted to YouTube on Thursday, a caller tells a dispatch that a man with a gun is pointing it at people. The man is being asked if it is a small gun, but he doesn't know what he is holding. The call went out over the police radio as a man pointed a handgun at people. As the responding officers are driving towards the scene, another officer can be heard on the radio saying that he has a gun and is shooting at a house. The person who is driving can be heard saying "Oh" Rios, in the passenger seat, opens the passenger side door of the patrol vehicle and holds his gun to his head. You could have to shoot. As they pull up near Barrera, Bohorquez says you might have to shoot. Rios opened fire on the street at Barrera. The time stamps on the body-worn video show that the officers waited about 10 minutes to approach Barrera with a group of other officers. Barrera was taken to a hospital for treatment. Despite the fact that Barrera did not have a gun or any other weapon on him, the LAPD presented a case for assault with a deadly weapon against him to the L.A. County district attorney's office. The person who could not be reached for comment was Barrera. The district attorney's office did not reply to the request for comment. Before the internal investigation of the shooting is complete, the department can not answer questions about the incident or the actions of the officers. Areas of concern that arise from such shootings are addressed immediately with involved officers through preliminary briefings and trainings, but to reach public conclusions about officers actions before the completion of the related investigation would be contrary to our commitment to base conclusions after reviewing all. In the last few months, there have been cases in whichLAPD officers opened fire on suspects who were not armed with firearms. Two days before Christmas, the Burlington store in North Hollywood was entered by theLAPD, after a caller claimed that a man with a gun had opened fire. He shot the gun, the caller said. The caller said yes. A lead officer with a rifle shot Daniel Elena-Lopez, who was attacking a woman. Elena-Lopez, who had a heavy bike lock but no gun, was killed as was 14-year-old Valentina Orellana-Peralta, who was hiding in a changing room with her mother and was struck by one of the officer's rifle rounds that pierced a wall. In another high-profile incident in July, a caller reported a man on Hollywood Boulevard was yelling and harassing people with what looked to be a pistol in his hand. The suspect, Matthew James Sova, was shot by the officers when he raised his hand in front of a Mcdonalds near the busy tourist intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue. Sova had a butane lighter with a pistol-like grip. He died at the hospital.
