Another day in America, another shooting. This one from Lynnwood California happened a little while ago. It involves 28-year-old Nicholas Robertson. According to authorities he had a weapon on him at the time. It is unclear from the bystander video. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"A man shot while walking away from two Los Angeles County deputies tried crawling away before succumbing to his gunshot wounds Saturday morning, according to a video of the shooting.

The two deputies fired more than a dozen shots at the allegedly armed man as he walked away and continued to do so after knocking him to the ground,according to video shared with KTLA-TV.

Several calls to 911 said a black male wearing a checkered shirt had brandished a handgun and fired shots at several locations before 11 a.m. Saturday, authorities said.

The suspect, identified by relatives as 28-year-old Nicholas Robertson, was confronted by two deputies outside a gas station.“*
