The 35-year-old Long Beach man killed in an officer-involved shooting Sunday was holding a pistol-grip water nozzle, not a gun, Long Beach police officials said Monday.
RTWT .... it's worth it.
I note that the spokesperson claims that the two officers were in positions of cover, observing the victim, and had not made their presence known nor ordered the victim to 'disarm'.
I also note that police were responding to a 911 call about an intoxicated man playing with a 'six-shooter'.
No word on whether the dispatcher tried to get more valuable clarification from the caller.
First, if the police are not found to at least have jumped the gun here, then at least the family of the victim needs to get some justice from the 911 caller.
