I don't have any real opinion on this. Seems reasonable all things considered. I don't have any criticism of the police involved. Some contextual observations maybe.
First of all, it happened in Orange County. That's a right leaning area. My first assumption was that it happened in Downtown LA because there is a large scale homeless encampment centered on Skid Row and the homeless jaywalk all the time there.
But it happened by Homeless Outreach officers in Orange County. So, maybe a similar encampment down there, probably smaller, and a more conservative population than LA. Ironic that it was Homeless Outreach; or maybe they were concerned about the safety of the other homeless due to the behavior of a potentially dangerous person.
Keep in mind this is Southern California and someone shot a cop in the head recently in Compton. This is where the Bloods and Crips come from (as well as other gangs) so there are a lot of hardcore gang members out here. I had an Israeli business associate for a while who was impressed by the near military level of professionalism and capability showed by LAPD. He said it wasn't like that in Israel.

Perhaps they should have googled ‘Outreach’
@instantkarma777 saidwhy do you call yourself a white Irish man?
Why don't you call them a man or a woman or these men?
Don't you understand that you enforce racism by using the term blacks?
If you and others were more kind and thoughtful and selective with your language then these blacks as you call them wouldn't retort to your statements with inflammatory language or behaviour.
Just be nice.😁
“
I recognize this even though I am a white Irish man. ”
Why didnt you just say you recognize them?
@no1marauder saiddid you miss the part where the black person had the white officers gun?
When will "these cops" realize they are not above the law and stop using excessive and deadly force unnecessarily in such situations?
@mott-the-hoople saidThe non-existent part?
did you miss the part where the black person had the white officers gun?
The victim never had the officers' gun.
@mott-the-hoople saidI am merely demonstrating to you the unnecessary comments of differentiating between black and white.

We are all human beings.
I do my best to see the good in people. 😁
@instantkarma777 saidyou’re saying this as a white irishman of course. 😉
I am working in the music industry.
I have met 1000's of talented people from all countries.
To me they are all talented musicians.
I don't see them as colours.
I see them as people.
@mott-the-hoople saidMusic has many colours.

@sonhouse saidoh, so you know this 8 game poster? 😂
@InstantKarma777
So sorry to have you tangle with Mott, a known ultrarightwingnut troll.
he is white you know? a regular cracker 😳
@mott-the-hoople saidBecause it depicts where he comes from and that he recognises various attitudes; albeit from a culturally different position?

I can’t make heads nor tales of the incident.
Not sure why the victim was stopped, not sure why the victim behaves so extreme and it’s impossible to tell what exactly happened in the fight (is called a fight).
What I can say is that the person filming it isn’t going to win an Oscar anytime soon. God damn, that’s the sort of filming technique usually applied to home movies of UFO and Loch Ness Monster sightings.
@shavixmir saidSure it does.
Music has colours???
The downbeat blues.
The fantastic carnival colours of Brazil and the Salsa.
The black yellow and green of Jamaica a d Reggae.
The Celtic green of my Irish traditional music.
The Grey haunting sound of the Uileann Pipes and the red passion of rebel freedom songs that tell the story of British occupation of my country.
Music has many different colours.
The British equally have many talented traditional artists in the likes of Fairport Convention.
Jethro Tull was another British cultural icon mixing English traditional music with rock music.
How many rock stars do you know that play the flute?
Ian Anderson is a legend.
