Protests erupted in Southern California Wednesday night after a video surfaced appearing to show an off-duty LAPD police officer firing his gun during a scuffle with a group of teens.

The incident occured on Tuesday. Authorities responded to reports of a fight between a man and several teens. The man was later identified as the police officer and he "discharged his firearm" and detained at least one of them, Sgt. Daron Wyatt, of the Anaheim police department, said.

"Yesterday, he sees the kids walking on the lawn and he says, 'Hey, guys, please walk on the sidewalk,'” Wyatt told KTTV. He said that prompted a chorus of epithets from some of the teens.

The LAPD said it is investigating the incident. The officer was placed on administrative leave. Two of the boys were arrested and release to their parents, Anaheim police said.

A dispute has now ensued over what the teen actually said to the officer on the video. Wyatt said the officer moved to detain the teen because he threatened to shoot the officer.

The mother of the 13-year-old who was detained denied that her son did anything wrong.

A couple of the kids are now facing charges for battery and/or assault. Kids claim dindu.

What says the OT?

I mean, those kids look pretty small.

The cop is shown dragging one of them around, I can't tell who is instigating

Some other dude comes up and tries to get the cop to let him go, there is some touching but nothing too egregious

Then at one point the cop pulls out his gun

Honestly it looks pretty bad for the cop. The kids are truly kids and aren't running up and throwing punches or anything. They're largely 10-15 feet away with their backpacks on watching.

The parents of these kids need to learn some parenting skills and these wanna be thugs got exactly what they deserved for acting stupid.

I am on cops side, from what I saw, kids were looking to start shite and as someone said before, sometimes you run into someone you shouldn't have fricked with and is just crazy enough (not a bad thing)

I did find it funny that he didn't want them on his lawn, but drug the kid through his nicely manicured hedges (I assume they were his, IDK)

Should have just called ICE. They'd get off his lawn real fast.

Can you get charged for Batt/assault on a cop if he's off duty?

California is so screwed if they don't see that as valid. Protesting over that? Parents say they didn't do anything wrong? Are you kidding me.

Was his property "posted"? Did he request that the trespasser vacate his property? Did the alleged trespasser comply?

If it was indeed trespassing and the alleged trespasser did not comply then anybody, not just a LEO, can make an arrest or force a removal in that situation. Where it might go wrong for the officer is in the presentation of the weapon.

The big question is what led up to this situation?
I seriously know this guy and something must have ticked him off.

Are these people protesting the fact that these kids were never taught respect or to stay off of someone's property if asked not to be on that property?


We have people defending these kids saying the property owner asked for it by living near a school and that kids do this all the time.

Why do kids do this all the time? Maybe bc we have moms out defending them and protesting instead of parenting
