according to LA County Sheriff's Department John Winkler 30 years old
a freelance production assistant at Comedy Central's Tosh
.0 was a mistake in first stabbing suspect Alexander MacDonald 27
and was fatally shot on Monday night the incident happened when deputies
responded to a quote assault with a deadly weapon
a man with a knife at an apartment complex the suspect had been described
as
at the in white male wearing a black shirt and now we've got a little bit at
the statement from the sheriff's department
eyes deputies continued attempts to contact the people in the apartment
the apartment door suddenly opened and a male victim came rushing out
he was covered in blood and bleeding profusely from the neck
believing Winkler was the salient and that the assault was ongoing and he will
attack the entry team
three deputies fired their duty weapon Zack
victim Winkler was struck by gunfire and fell to the floor
and the male victim also collapsed rock once
by the gunfire so they shot
then basically they went into the apartment and saw
I
mcdonnell choking this other person they realize they shot the wrong person they
did take McDonald
into custody I so there was nothing about being a gun here which i think is
the interesting part that he they're getting shot in a situation
that the violence yeah that was being perpetrated didn't involve a gun and
Emilie Gophers here no I mean it you know you show up to a situation like
that you see a guy come out a bloody
pocket start shooting right you don't do any more investigation you to start
shooting two different incidents where the cops just started firing on a car
with any
with no visual confirmation that somebody shot two women in exactly two
women right there looking for a guy
they end up shooting two women right here so this is what cops to right
they're not really that smart most to them that's why they become cops right
if they were smart they do some
better and if they really wanted to help people they go teach a kid the reader
become a fireman
they didn't this this is what it's all about for cops they love pulling their
weapons they love shooting shit
and they're not going to stop those trigger-happy cops: a loving God and
country right
and that's just how it goes I was afraid for my life really there's no other God
I when I was a kid
you know lawrence O'Donnell wrote a book called deadly force
all the circumstances that have to be in place me
or you can use deadly force back wasn't one of them
two midterms are coming out no weapons on them then they're bleeding
and you start shooting dodo given more guns give the cops more like that here
block imports ease and that's why they're trigger-happy
and they don't think much and we act we got a ring in the cops in this country
this is an isolated incident
the shit happens all over the place I was in their sole what can I say what
that was you do have cops to
I'm sure go through day in day I activities
in LA day you fear for their lives at some point you know you deal with a lot
of crazy people on a day and a basis but
to the the this situation is clearly
I are black and the other questions how often does this happen to someone who's
not related to touch point I'll because that's the big headline here
you know Tosh .0 PA mistakenly shot dead
but how often does this happen and what it's not covered
probably a lot more often and you know once
alright he wasn't someone in the entertainment business is on right now
is also the as i said i with only a couple blocks away literally like four
blocks away from the street and this is this Palm Avenue in in West Hollywood is
the one street that everyone jokes about like that we're all the crime is that's
where all the drugs are
natural the sexes in the prostitutes and all that and it was making me think I
would
do the cops go into the certain areas I know this is a rhetorical question is a
POS
knowing that something weird is on the street or this party town
and their protocol and how they act is different just because we're here
expectations are
do we need outside policing up the police instead of Internal Affairs
yeah I mean there's gotta be something that's very good point there's got to be
some sort of accountability that
is not currently in place because what's currently in place is clearly
not working I you mention the pickup truck incident mean that happen when a
year ago
yeah and I'm tab something like this happen in them
other tens art white are 20 stories that we haven't
really covered because they haven't been as publicized yet we covered her the
stories in forever many we cover there is
probably twenty or there could be literally there are about 50 with the
source code to Mexico who was shooting at a
above many painful and kids know goldin ballclub to pick up to start shooting at
the many vendors don't get involved
they start shooting so this to get this is this is an isolated incident
incident this is what missus what cops like to do
