A judge has just sanctioned the release of a two-year-old police video that shows the shooting of an unarmed man in Los Angeles by the name of Ricardo Diaz Zeferino. The situation started back in 2013 when Zeferino found out his brother’s bike was stolen. Police arrived and shot Zeferino to death. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point) host The Young Turks.

Police are shown with guns drawn approaching Diaz Zeferino and two other men standing by a pavement. The officers order them to raise their hands. They comply.

They also wounded one of the other men.”*
