LAPD Releases Bodycam Footage of Moments Leading up to Fatal Shooting

I don't think lethal force was necessary. They could have just tased him and taken him into custody.

It said he was 6 ft 1. Not that tall. Why was it such a problem? Something is missing, imo.

They tased him 3 times. He then straddled the female officer, repeatedly punching her in the face.

While punching the female officer, his elbow fractured the male officer’s nose.

The day before the fatal shooting, Dorsey also attacked two security guards, one of them at the Hollywood gym and the other at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum in Exposition Park, according to LAPD Capt. Patricia Sandoval.

Police released surveillance video from the parking garage beneath the gym, showing a man knocking a guard there flat on the ground, apparently without provocation, then casually walking away. The security guard was hospitalized as a result, officials said.

Later that day, Dorsey was arrested on suspicion of trespassing at the Coliseum after assaulting another guard there, Sandoval said.

A sexual battery was also reported at the 24 Hour Fitness two days before the shooting, on Oct. 27. Police now allege Dorsey was the perpetrator in that case.

Dorsey was released from jail Oct. 29 following his arrest the previous day and returned to the Hollywood gym. Staff there called police at about 9:15 a.m. to report he was trespassing in a shower area that was closed off for repairs, Sandoval said.

What a fine, upstanding member of society!

"LAPD is continuing to investigate the incident and has not yet determined whether the officers' actions are in line with the department's use of force policy"

I would say stopping him before he got hold of a gun would be in line with their policy.

Righteous shoot.

Was his dick that big? based on the oval blur

BPD or BDF?
