Deputies cleared in shooting of armed transient

 Encinitas Advocate:

Video from the fourth incident, which hadn’t been made public previously, was released by prosecutors Friday. The incident is the fatal shooting of a man who deputies said pointed a loaded gun at them in Encinitas.

The newly released footage is brief — one minute, 18 seconds — and includes footage from one of the two deputies who shot the man as he ran from them. The first several seconds do not include audio.
The video is available at the link.

  1. Where's Mali with her list of phone numbers to call when encountering the homeless? She went wacko on Nextdoor claiming this situation should have been handled a different way.

    Next time we'll call you, Mali. As an equity "expert," surely you can show us how it's done. Just post your cell phone here and be on stand by.

  2. Point a weapon at a Law Enforcement Officer...not a good idea. Come to think of it, keep your hands in clear view with nothing in them.
    That, is the smart response when approached by an Officer.
    I love it when there is a good ending to a story.

  3. 9:59 went looking for some of Mali Woods Drake's insights on how she would have handled this much better and SURPRISE the post was removed. She appears to hold the record for most deleted threads.

  4. Perhaps if more homeless were dispatched the remaining might get the idea that Encinitas is not a great place to camp. One could only hope.

  5. Did the cops ever reveal where he got the weapon? It was a rather expensive model gun - either taken from someone he knew or stolen in a domestic burglary. It appears the cops had no option other than to use lethal force. The first shot often determines the outcome of a gun fight.
