Off-duty LAPD fires warning shot in scuffle with teens who walked on his lawn
Methinks someone is going to face the music. Almost everything you do in public these days is being recorded.
A day after an off-duty Los Angeles police officer fired his gun during a confrontation with a group of teenagers in Anaheim, videos purportedly showing the encounter spread online, prompting questions about the officers actions.
No one was injured by the gunfire, but the footage posted on YouTube and Facebook sparked a flurry of phone calls and emails to Anaheim police, who are investigating the officers actions.
On Wednesday night, about 300 demonstrators took to the streets of Anaheim to protest the case. The marchers began in the west Anaheim neighborhood where the shooting occurred and eventually moved into major streets.
The group took over several lanes of Euclid Avenue, at times blocking intersections. Anaheim police, who are on tactical alert, had set up a protest line near Ball Road and Euclid Street to try to contain the crowd.
