Bodycam Shows LAPD Officers Tase & Shoot Suspect Resisting Arrest

** (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) **
On August 14, 2019, around 5:50 p.m., uniformed officers assigned to Pacific Patrol Division responded to a radio call of a screaming man at Thornton Court and Pacific Avenue. Upon arriving at the location, the officers encountered the suspect, John Penny, who was initially armed with a glass bottle. Penny refused to drop the bottle and approached officers. The officers deployed a taser, however it appears the darts did not strike Penny. Penny then armed himself with a three-foot-long wooden plank and again approached the officers, which resulted in an Officer-Involved- Shooting. Penny was struck once in the left arm and once in the left thigh. The officers also deployed one round from a beanbag shotgun and one 40mm round.

Penny was treated at scene by members of the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) and then transported via Rescue Ambulance (RA) to UCLA Westwood Medical Center, where he was treated and cleared for booking. No officers were injured during the incident. A three-foot wooden plank was recovered at scene. Force Investigation Division (FID) responded and is handling the administrative investigation and the FID Criminal Apprehension Team (CAT) is conducting the criminal investigation. LAPD’s specialized Force Investigation Division responded to the scene and began interviewing witnesses and collecting forensic evidence. Representatives from the Office of the Inspector General and Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Justice System Integrity Division responded and monitored the investigation.

  1. I believe that the officer that fired his firearm only fired it because his buddy shot first and it scared him. poor trigger discipline IMO

  2. Dude stop wasting our fucking taxes and just kill those fucking scumbags! STOP FEEDING FILTHY CRIMINALS! KILL THEM. STOP FILLING OUR PRISONS WITH WORTHLESS SKUM!!

  3. OK they fight a white guy with the knife and take him into custody with no problem but they shoot a black man with a board,
    But then white people say there’s no systemic racism in this country.

  4. He thinks holding the bottle keeps him from being arrested? Imagine they went through life without being able to follow simple commands.

  5. Its a wood plank, you pussies shoot everybody holding something in their hands, fucking fight that dude, he swings once you either block or dodge and he is fucked! No need to shoot him!

  6. Will somebody please upgrade police officers tasers?? If the tasers knocked them out every single time, there would be alot less deaths.

    Update: everybody keeps saying to shoot suspect in the legs but this guy got shot in the leg and he’s still skipping around like he’s in preschool

  7. People don't understand this. What we have here is another typical case of a being outside his natural habitat. He would be perfectly fine in a rainforest somewhere.

    For instance, do you think it would make any sense to free a bunch of mnks in the city and then try to go around trying to enforce the law every time they break them? Or does it make more sense to not have them around at all?

  8. A very drunk person with a a damn 2×4 was decerving of 4 rounds out of the standard issue???!! Whatever happened to super cops who simply would've ran up snatched that shit an grappled him to the ground… Now all cops are terrified+trigger happy
