Man high on shrooms shot and killed by police

June 3, 2015

Police in the United States shot dead a 20-year-old Muslim student for ‘threatening behaviour’, which, according to his friends, was just a bad reaction to drugs.
Witnesses said Feras Morad, 20, had reportedly taken magic mushrooms for the first time at a party in Long Beach, California, and appeared to be walking around like a ‘bird with a broken wing’.
According to a witness account, Morad became confused and unresponsive and was “asking friend what he was doing” after which he jumped through a second-storey window.
Morad received a ‘deep gash’ from going through the glass and hitting the concrete below, following which his friends called in the police.
Upon their arrival, the young Muslim boy was tasered and subsequently shot dead by the officers.
The family of the boy confirmed that they received the news over Facebook due to the failure of the police, hospital and LA county coroner’s office to inform them.
Police said that the student had been acting ‘threateningly’ and refused to comply with officers, who then utilised “an electronic control device, an impact weapon and physical force to gain compliance,” according to a statement.
The police statement, however, became questionable as testimonies were posted online disputing the police version of the story.
A statement posted on the Justice4Feras Facebook page says he was “shirtless, without any weapon, bleeding from multiple wounds, and possibly suffering head trauma from the fall when officers made their demands”.
It further added that he did not physically swing, attack, or verbally indicate aggression toward the police officer or anyone else but was unable to comply because he was confused and injured “like a bird with a broken wing hobbling around in the house”.
Witness reports said that there was no fight between Morad and the police, just the police officer trying to subdue him.
As friends were removed from the scene by emergency personnel, they continued to scream that Feras was unarmed and in need of help as the unnamed police officer fired three shots, all on target.
“He wasn’t supposed to be shot, even if he did something, if he was under the influence, he should not have been shot, he does not harm anyone,” said Morad’s father, Amr Morad.
A nationally-ranked debater at high school, Morad’s family had high hopes of him becoming an attorney general who would represent victims of police brutality.
It was further reported that Morad had a 3.9 GPA at Moorpark College, and friends on the Facebook page said he was also a good army cadet.
“I knew Feras and enjoyed spending time with him and arguing politics with him. The world lost a good and decent man who was very kind and smart,” wrote Eric Smith in a tribute to the promising student online on the page.
“At a time when he desperately needed a police officer to protect and serve him, a cop decided it was better to shoot him and kill him. He deserved better and it is the job of all who knew him to tell the world what happened,” he added.
Another close friend, Lisa Michelle Bran, wrote, “Wow I went to school with him and had a pleasure of knowing him and having class with. Prayers go out to his family.”
It was confirmed by Ohad Yeger that “he was a good cadet and I always saw him as a rival, we had countless arguments trying to better one another and in the process I had motivation to be a better person, he challenged me intellectually and dared me to do better and I’ll never forget that.”

This is almost exactly the same story as the long beach incident, someone had already pointed out that story was similar to another one they had heard. Starting to think this is all propaganda.

Sounds like bath salts sprayed on some random store bought mushrooms and dried out.
Don't call the police they tend to make situations worse.
Maybe after police reform by a real government with some actual balls will we be able to call some community support personnel from our communities instead of the current system of uniformed police we have. Whatever happened to change?

Three things you need to watch out for when tripping on mushrooms.
1. Hypothermia / Hyperthermia ( freezing weather, too hot somewhere ) 2. Impact injuries (falling) 3. Suffocation (drowning)
Better to have a guide and a babysitter to walk you through the process.
I get why governments in the past made these things illegal but it is 2015 already.
Take it slow and don't lose your shit.
Also if shrooms were cheaper it would make it safer since you could just eat more shrooms instead of budgeting how many shrooms you can get your hands on.
Also it would end the fake shrooms out there.
Thanks for the sig love MinnesnowtaNice. Big fan of Julian, Ricky, Bubbles, Trevor, Corey, and Trinity myself.

Never steal. It is immoral, even though morality is just a made up concept.
But conceptually stealing is wrong. So I make it my reality not to steal anything.

Wrong. It's a legit, tragic story. A simple Google search would show you that. See: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-feras-morad-vigil-woodland-hills-20150604-story.html

Anyone high on muhshrooms in public is psychotic usually- when taking such large doses
but the real problem is, why should psychotic people be shot?
why shoot someone who has no gun and no knife?
why didn't the cop get prosecuted in this case, and the other we just heard about?
police state, that's why

Brilliant. The cop car bonnet and jesus rant, of course, not the brutality. That sucks. As it does in this case, it's fucking awful. I'm glad to be in a country where the police don't carry guns. Poor guy.

Google Dillon Taylor or Oscar Grant.
After thinking about it for a while. Pretty much the mushrooms had nothing to do with the police behavior, just an excuse for police murder.

I hate hearing stories like this because people will opportunize on it so hard and use it as fuel for rants about the dangers of drugs and why they can't be legal.
You can speculate about other caveats, such as the mushrooms being laced with another drug or something, but even if you're probably right about that nobody is going to listen to you.
I know some people who would blame this incident on the mushrooms rather than the police who shot him dead.

Every time there is a news article where someone does psychedelics and then something retarded, people in this forum are quick to blame something else, research chemicals angel dust, whatever. It could be but it's a stretch to just assume that because something bad happened, it must have been some other drug than just shrooms, or just acid, or just weed.
Stupid shit happens, it happens sober, it also happens when people use psychedelics. I just think it's ignoring an aspect of the drugs we love the most to act like they can do no harm, all drugs can do harm and do good. I have had good and bad experiences tripping. I have had really good experiences on some research chemicals even tried the so called "bath salts" a couple times before the bullshit miami zombie story came out and scared the shit out of everyone. very familiar, general stimulant feeling, like adderall or meth.
Lets work on getting past the myth that drugs can make you do things, they can't. Accept that even drugs that have the potential to be dangerous can be useful, and fun and used responsibly.

The drug issue aside the police acted how they were trained to act. The police have poor training and are dangerous as a result. Arguably they are more dangerous than the drug whatever it was in the story.

There is no training in a case like my story. Like I said I straight up JUMPED on a police car at 3 am while he was at a stop sign. The dude was fucking so frightened. He started driving with me on the hood. He had no idea what the fuck was going on, what to do, or how to handle it. Im lucky I am not dead. He did beat me within an inch of my life though.
He didnt have to tase me 4 times (three times in hand cuffs ) But I dont blame him at all.
