I didn't need to watch this before bed.
Damn, I said the same thing.
UPDATED: Jan. 8, 2015: The grieving father of Kijuan Byrd, who was shot and killed by a mentally-unstable armed security guard in Miami, went viral after an investigative report dug deeper into the tragic story.
The Center of Investigative Reporting and CNN published a long form piece on yet another instance where an armed security guard/vigilante/officer shot and killed an unarmed Black man. Unfortunately, it came out that the gunman had a significant violent criminal past and record, putting a spotlight on the way in which security firms recruit armed personnel.
According to CIR, on June 1, 2012, Lukace Kendle, then 26, reported to work at a Miami strip club, Club Lexx. For unclear reasons, Kendle opened up and shot two men in the parking lot — Byrd, 29, and his best friend Michael Smathers, who is permanently paralyzed from the waist down.
Kendle, who is White, told police that one of the men shouted, “I’m gonna kill you, nigga,” while the driver, Smathers said neither he or Byrd said “a word” to Kendle. Smathers said that when they complied, opened the door and put their hands up, Kendle started firing, according to CIR.
Says the site:
“The shots came quickly – at least a dozen, according to an autopsy report and statements Kendle later made to police. In total, Kendle shot Byrd eight times – at least four times in the back – as he crawled toward safety underneath the truck, according to the autopsy report. Kendle told police he thought both men were armed.
One week after the shooting police arrested Kendle on murder and attempted murder charges. He was later diagnosed with impulse control disorder, antisocial personality disorder, unspecified schizophrenia spectrum, alcohol use disorder, specified personality disorder with antisocial and narcissistic features, and what court psychiatrists described as an “other psychotic disorder,” reports CIJ.
Like the tragedy of the Tamir Rice case, in which the officer involved in the shooting clearly was mentally unstable and had documented mental health issues, Kendle was given a job in which he was allowed to carry and use a deadly firearm, even with a criminal record and clear psychiatric issues (in most states armed guards do not need a psych evaluation).
Understandably, the killing infuriated the Byrd family. During an April 4, 2014, court hearing, Byrd’s father, Donald, became enraged. The distraught father yelled out and had to be removed form the courtroom:
“You murdered my son, man, for nothing! He was trying to get away from you. You, you – he was trying to get away from you, man. You kept shooting him while his back was under the truck. You kept shooting him, man. You kept shooting him in his back! … He was trying to get away from you, and you murdered him, man!”

I usually make the OP aware and delete my post, then the OP can take it from there. How the OP chooses to revise the title is up to them.
Just for your information, Mrfreddygoodbud, it's "loses," it's better to use the active voice in these articles; "loses" is more alive than "lost." To explain further, an action happened "is labeled mentally ill" and following that action, the father "loses it;" it wouldn't be "lost it." Read it to yourself.
Active Voice example:
"Father of a Miami man loses it in court after security guard who killed his son is labeled mentally ill."

White folks always try to take some easy way out after they do some foul shit. Coward shit. But they know the system on their sides. Thats why they do it.
The fact anyone of any race creed or color can't understand our pain and suffering after watching that.
Is just certified proof they have no soul and truly are our enemy.
Salute to brother Kaepernick
And to hell to all those trying to denounce his message.
