Also being in a gang is not a justification.

LAPD/LASD had to pay millions for including people with no gang anything in their gang databases.

Also ICE lies almost as often as Trump and Homan and Noem and Vance and Leavitt and Melanie and...

Crazy how state violence is justified as Renee Good being a terrorist or Carlos here being a gang member with I dunno 0 evidence to those claims, but Ashli Babbitt is in a riot charging the Capital chatting about murdering Mike Pence but her killing is an example of the US gov being authoritarian.

Thank you for saying this. Too many people accept the premise of being in a gang as justification of arrest, and execution in the streets. We sent 280 people to an El Salvadorian prison without trial on the assertion they were in a gang.

Always fascinating when the justification of police brutality is "I believe street level police should be judge jury and executioner".

Right?
If you're a gang member, you can of course, be summarliy executed in the street

"In a gang" is just a thing white people came up with to charge minorities with extra crimes imo

What are the odds that they just googled his very common name in their database after shooting him to help make some post-hoc lie?

I can think of four Major League players with his same name too.

If there was one more of them, they could come together and form a maximum league player.

Gavin McInnes founded a gang, therefore the LAPD should shoot him 12 times. Flawless logic.

Right. If you've got someone you think is committing a crime, find evidence and bring charges / an indictment. But belonging to a gang isn't enough.

Always worth keeping in mind that everyone is entitled to due process under the U.S. Constitution, for heaven's sake.

And going beyond just "everyone gets to go to court" as a baseline, people not knowing a a lot of/most of gang members aren't actually involved in violence, or even crime itself. They have a very hollywood/copaganda/racist view of gangs (and never think of white people, either).

Also, there are probably 100,000 people in LA named Carlos Hernandez.
