Marquintin Shandlin, 32, and Kisha Michael, 31, are the latest victims of police brutality. The couple were killed in Inglewood, California, after police claimed that they felt threatened and believed Michael was carrying a gun. But in a shocking and disturbing revelation, Inglewood mayor James Butts revealed that the man and woman were actually unconscious when police opened fire.
Few other details are known and the LAPD has declined to respond until they “collect all the details,” of the killing. According to the Los Angeles Times, Trisha Michael, Kisha’s sister, said that she has been trying to get more details on what had actually taken place, but the police had left her questions unanswered. Trisha also stated that her sister had never owned a gun.
Even before the revelation that the two victims had been sleeping and therefore couldn't have posed any sort of credible threat, local activist Najee Ali weighed in saying that just having a gun does not give the officers the right to open fire. “Even though she may have had a gun, that does not mean she was a threat to officers,” Ali said.
