I guess the law is over with in this country. Now the antagonists are the victims. Law abiding people will get as far away from this as they can, including leaving the country.

Would it have been OK if he had killed by one shot?
That would not have been too excessive, would it?

According to the LAPD, Arian called 911 during the pursuit, which began after he ran a red light, and told a dispatcher he was armed and prepared to shoot officers.

Kind of defeats the whole "I'm just a poor victim of police brutality" defense, doesn't it?

Guy assumed an aggressive stance that at 10PM, in the lighting condition of that environment, could well not only look like he is aiming a gun but, would be exacerbated by adrenaline already rushing through the officers and their desire to protect a brother officer.

Case dismissed with prejudice.

“Galen said Monday that the teen, who wanted to be a “party planner” but otherwise did not have a job,...”

No way I’m touching that; not here, nope.

If Obama had a son, he'd be a "party planner."

Sounds like “suicide via cop” to me.

Arian, an immigrant from Afghanistan? Officers fired more than 120 rounds at Arian after he got out of his car on the freeway and ran. He could have stayed in Afghanistan, the Marines would have wacked him there and saved him the trip.

"We need a loser pays legal system."

We ALREADY have it....it's the Taxpayer.

The "Winners" are the blood-sucking, ambulance-chasing assholes who just happen to pass a Bar Exam.

The Constitution would get in the way of that idea. The people have the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. If you can be punished for excercising that right then its not really a right.

Video: http://www.nbclosangeles.com/video/#!/news/top-stories/video-override/Police-Pursuit-Ends-in-Freeway-Shootout/147115395

Mr. Galen, I wish that our legislature, and indeed, all legislatures, would have the balls to make you criminally, as well as civilly, liable for your statements. If that young man had taken that stance in front of my car, I too would have exercised considerable restraint in ensuring that every shot I fired went into that miserable excuse for a human being.

There is a video. It cuts off before the ‘fatal’ shooting part of the video (though I’m sure that if one spent the time, you’d find the additional ten seconds), but during that video, your client’s son races through traffic, makes reckless turns, enters onto a crowded freeway, then decides to stop and turn in the middle of it. He then exits his car, and ‘points’ his cell phone with a two handed grasp not once, not twice, not three times, but at least four times. At least one of those times is at a civilian who had stopped at the side of the freeway.

I wish our legal system was such that by beginning this lawsuit, the family’s entire assets becomes available as a pool to be sucked dry by everyone affected by their son’s reckless actions. Their cars taken for all the families scared out of their minds as he came swooping by them. Their house taken for the civilian whom he decided to point his cell phone at as if it was a gun. And then when that pool is dry, the city then gets to come in and drain every single penny that you’ve earned gaming the system. Because, Mr. Galen, there are liars, there are damned liars, and then there are lawyers like you.

The guy was driving a 3800 lb lethal bomb in one of the busiest roadways in the world. To me that should be handled like anyone running around threatening people with a gun or knife. Every year innocent bystanders are killed in exactly this scenario. In my opinion, lethal force is not only warranted but should be required if a car travels more than 100 yards or imperils any citizen at any distance.
