美国最暴力执法让你躺着也中枪

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.

美国洛杉矶的一对夫妇最近从无家可归变成了百万富翁。原因是美国洛杉矶警察执行追捕任务时，误以为这对夫妇是逃犯，对其开枪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，安吉尔.门德斯和他的未婚妻詹妮弗在加州兰开斯特的朋友家中睡觉，被闯入房间追捕逃犯的洛杉矶警察惊醒。

Deputies said they saw a BB gun and began shooting.

根据警方报道，当时看到一把BB枪放在床上，就对他们开枪了。

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.

根据《洛杉矶时报》的报道安吉尔被击中14次之多，而他的未婚妻詹妮弗背部中了一枪，手上有擦伤，当时她还怀有身孕。事后，安吉尔的腿不得不截肢。

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

安吉尔回忆道：“我一直在叫‘不要开枪，不要开枪，我未婚妻怀有身孕，那只是一把BB枪。”

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.

这对夫妇因为这次不公的遭遇获得了410万美元的赔偿金。洛杉矶警察内部也对这次行动失误展开了调查。
