This week a man nicknamed ‘Africa’ was shot by police in Skid Row in Los Angeles.

Unusually after such incidents it emerged that there was a video of the event that had been posted online. No doubt, there will be discussion as to what exactly took place and why the man was shot. The police say that he was grabbing one of the policemen’s guns.
