LA Police Captured on Film Shooting Suspect Dead [VIDEO]

YouTube footage showing Los Angeles police shooting dead a man armed with a crowbar in a restaurant car park has gone viral.

The amateur footage is filmed from inside a car and was taken by a teenager on his mobile phone outside a fast food restaurant.

The victim had allegedly smashed a number of windows at the restaurant before he was challenged by police.

Officers shot him in the face with a Taser but he pulled out the electrical probes and moved as though ready to swing his crowbar at them

.

Another officer shot him five shots but he was still standing. The officer then shot him another five times before he died.

"They could have done something f*****g different than f*****g shoot him, use a baton or some s**t," said the person filiming the scene.

The victim and the two policemen have not been named. Los Angeles Police Department has not released a statement.

Some online commenters voiced disgust at how the cameraman and his friends in the car could be heard laughing after the man was shot.

One said: "Interesting how those teenagers were hoping for the suspect to come outside so they could watch him getting Tasered and joking about it - only for him to get shot, what's worse they still laughed about it, sign of the times of US youth?"
