LAPD officers fatally shoot man with tree trimmer in Boyle Heights

Comments

1. June: how does a situation like this happen in such a quiet neighborhood
2. Nova: sadly this guy's life was probably just as complicated as the neighborhood he lived in
3. Sanakarim: can't believe they didn't try to disable it first, seems like a crazy misjudgement 🤦
4. Dane: violence always seems to escalate quickly in these situations
5. Mayaweber: what were they supposed to do if he didn't drop it
6. Mirage Shard: comply with orders to drop the tree trimmer? that's some wild language from the cops, what actually happened here?
7. Diazdane: Quiet neighborhood gets some loud news, hope the incident is thoroughly investigated
8. Jonas: sounded like the officers were in a tough spot, but it's hard to shoot someone without clear intent
9. Rogue Sparrow: just another story about escalating force instead of de-escalation techniques
