Article Excerpt:
In what the Inglewood and surrounding African American communities are calling senseless -- another unarmed Black man, 19 year-old Michael Byoune, was shot and killed by an Inglewood Police Department (IPD) officer in the early morning hours this week. The fatal shooting of Byoune occurred on May 11 at approximately 1:40 a.m., according to policel reports. Now the questions ricocheting throughout the community is,” Why do some police officers shoot and kill innocent, unarmed Black men?” Concerned citizens are also pondering what scenario will Inglewood Police Department create in the wake of an unjustified killing? What alternative courses of action may the officers have employed to avoid shooting to kill? Why did they ‘fear for their safety’ when the victim had no weapon, why will the police killer probably go unpunished, and what happens when the police accidentally kill the wrong person?
