Los Angeles, California  On July 18, 2022, at around 7:20 p.m., Southwest Division patrol officers received an “Assault with a Deadly Weapon†radio call. The reporting party advised Communications Division that the suspect was armed with a black, semi-automatic handgun. Uniformed personnel observed the suspect matching the description listed in the comments of the radio call, walking on the north sidewalk of Martin Luther King Boulevard, just east of Bronson Avenue.
Officers made contact with the suspect, who they believed was in possession of a handgun. The suspect refused to respond to officer’s verbal commands. As a uniformed supervisor arrived at scene, he also believed that the suspect was armed with a handgun. As the suspect walked away from the officers, he turned multiple times in their direction and pointed a black metallic object believed to be a firearm, which resulted in an Officer-Involved-Shooting (OIS). The suspect was struck by gunfire and taken into custody.
Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) paramedics responded to the scene and transported the suspect to a local hospital where he was listed in serious condition. The suspect was later identified as 39-year-old Jermaine Petite, a resident of Los Angeles. No officers, victims, or bystanders were injured during this incident. A six-inch, black metal latch actuator was recovered at scene.

Wow! I can believe LAPD still uses handheld radios. ðŸ˜â€
Nothing of value was lost maybe besides the bullets
Dispatchers sound dumb
Bye bye, back to the lobby
'Dark skinned guy', Jesus….
More range time needed.
911 should let people finish before they cut them off. Geez.
Death wish?
Where's the taser?! Unlawful use of deadly-force.
One more POS gone. I'll try to hold back the tears. 😆🤣
In Oakland they say King homie!!!
Nothing good ever,in any city, happens on Martin Luther King Drive.
Justified.
Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see at any point when he pointed the fake gun at an officer. It looked like he started picking up pace and running away and they shot him in the back. It would be nice to see an angle from the car on the street. I'm not sure if the footage was intentionally made to be so grainy, but either way this video quality is unacceptable in the modern age.
Good 😌
It's ok, we have a steady stream of migrants that will replace them.
Omg please fire the operator
The courage it took to shoot an unarmed man and then take cover while he bleeds out is amazing , LA's finest .
Wow, another attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon by another brain dead gang member who deserves to be behind bars for the rest of his fucking life. ACAB.
Deaf and dumb dispatcher syndrom
This is gonna fk with that officer's head for the rest of his life. It wasn't a gun, but he didn't know that it wasn't and did what he was trained. But now he knows it wasn't, and the "what ifs? will keep flowing, making him stressed mentally. only if he let's it.
California one of the most Lawless States only the government and criminals have guns. You get shot for having a knife
