美國最暴力執法讓你躺着也中槍

An LA couple has gone from being homeless to being millionaires, after the man and woman, who were innocent, were shot over 15 times by LA sheriff's deputies.

美國洛杉磯的一對夫婦最近從無家可歸變成了百萬富翁。原因是美國洛杉磯警察執行追捕任務時，誤以爲這對夫婦是逃犯，對其開槍15次之多。

Angel Mendez and his then-fiance, Jennifer, were sleeping in a shack on a friend's property in Lancaster, Calif. when deputies barged in looking for a parolee in October 2010.

2010年10月，安吉爾.門德斯和他的未婚妻詹妮弗在加州蘭開斯特的朋友家中睡覺，被闖入房間追捕逃犯的洛杉磯警察驚醒。

Deputies said they saw a BB gun and began shooting.

根據警方報道，當時看到一把BB槍放在牀上，就對他們開槍了。

Angel was shot 14 times and Jennifer, who was pregnant, was shot once in the back and had a graze wound to her hand, the Los Angeles Times reports. Angel had to have part of his leg amputated.

根據《洛杉磯時報》的報道安吉爾被擊中14次之多，而他的未婚妻詹妮弗背部中了一槍，手上有擦傷，當時她還懷有身孕。事後，安吉爾的腿不得不截肢。

“I kept screaming for them to ‘stop shooting, stop shooting, my fiance is pregnant, it’s just a BB gun,’” Angel said.

安吉爾回憶道：“我一直在叫‘不要開槍，不要開槍，我未婚妻懷有身孕，那只是一把BB槍。”

The couple was awarded $4.1 million when a judge ruled their civil rights were violated. The deputies involved were cleared of any wrongdoing in an internal investigation.

這對夫婦因爲這次不公的遭遇獲得了410萬美元的賠償金。洛杉磯警察內部也對這次行動失誤展開了調查。
