Footage Shows Los Angeles Cops Kill Man Clutching Plastic Fork
Earlier this month, a Los Angeles police officer shot and killed a man who was holding a plastic fork, according to newly released body-camera footage.
The victim of the police shooting has been identified as 36-year-old Jason Maccani.
At 2:20 p.m. on Feb. 3, police received a call that a man, armed with “a stick, like a pole,” had wandered into a studio near downtown Los Angeles and was acting “very aggressive.” The caller, whose claim that Maccani was armed with a pole turned out to be false, suspected that the man was on drugs, according to NBC Los Angeles.
