Ultimately, the five-person Police Commission will decide whether the officer was justified in the shooting.
Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department Michel Moore addresses a press conference at LAPD headquarters.
“I’ll wait for the full investigation before commenting on the officer’s decision to use deadly force,” Moore said. “The use of deadly force, whether on- or off-duty, is a matter that is the most-scrutinized decision that we have in this organization, and in this instance, it will be as well.” If the officer was knocked unconscious during the attack, as his attorney alleges, it would justify the use of deadly force in the incident, said Ed Obayashi, a Plumas County sheriff’s deputy and use-of-force advisor to the California Assn. of Police Training Officers.
Authorities did not arrest the officer, based on information provided to Corona police by witnesses. The Riverside County district attorney will decide whether he will face charges. Civil rights attorney Dale Galipo, who is representing the French family, said there appears to be unequal treatment of police officers compared with other citizens when deadly force is used.
