Julian Castro joins BLM's call to fire 2 LAPD officers

On Tuesday, Democratic presidential hopeful Julian Castro joined Black Lives Matter activists in front of LAPD headquarters to raise awareness about the police shooting of 30-year-old Grechario Mack, who was killed in April 2018.

Mack was running with a kitchen knife through the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Mall when police responded to reports of a man in a mental health crisis. The civilian-run police commission found the officers violated policy when they shot him while he was on the ground.

Black Lives Matter activists -- and now Castro -- are calling for the officers to be fired.
