No, it doesn't tell you everything you need to know. I've actually driven through this neighborhood.

It's all residential ~ well tended, cut lawns, bushes, everything nice and neat ~ just to the North there's a small shopping center where you could presumably find a dumpster ~ and those things catch fire all the time everywhere ~ particularly on weekends when there are no scheduled pickups.

I do not know anything about adjoining neighborhoods, but all that seems to have happened here is the cops saw a 'suspect'. He ran. The cops shot him.

So, the claim is he was unarmed, the cops turned their dogs loose on a woman with her baby (Film at 11:00 no sh-t!) then the cops fired rubber bullets at the neighbors gathered to watch.

I guess a sort of panic ensued.

About that time I'd imagine you and I would be finding some dumpsters to barricade each end of the street to keep out more cops.

There were a dozen or more cops parked there all night last night ~ like maybe they were waiting on the warrants to do a house to house search or something ~

Conservatives better start paying attention. The police are agents of the state and have been militarized far beyond the requirement to do their jobs. When the police realize that there isn't enough tax payer dollars to pay for their lavish benefits and pensions what do you think is going to happen? If an out of control government declares martial law and sends these police door to door to round up guns (and they will have all the information they need to do it provided by the ATF from their illegally maintained database of firearms purchases, NFA weapon tax stamps, and local conceal carry permit records) what are "law and order" conservatives going to do then?

The video below shows the well tended lawns you spoke of.

“He’s Still Alive!” Video Emerges of Immediate Aftermath of Anaheim Police Killing of Manuel Diaz

http://blogs.ocweekly.com/navelgazing/2012/07/manuel_diaz_anaheim_police.php

The source (who requested anonymity) was on the scene, and audio from the video confirms what eyewitness accounts have confirmed but which police refuse to do: that Diaz was shot in the head.

The most harrowing part of the video, however, is the fact that Diaz was alive—and police stood there for over three minutes and did nothing. Instead, they seem more concerned with pushing witnesses away from the scene, the better to diminish the video quality of the footage, when they weren’t actively trying to block the source from recording.

Diaz is visibly twitching at the very beginning of the video. It’s not until about 3:13 into the video that police finally turn over Diaz, whose head is bloodied beyond belief.
