At the news conference Monday, family members and friends of Anthony Lowe, along with community advocates, demanded that the Huntington Park police officers who killed him be prosecuted.

Dorothy Lowe wept as she stood outside the Huntington Park Police Department on Monday, struggling at times to speak before a bank of television cameras., a 36-year-old double amputee who was trying to run away on what remained of his legs.

Smith said community advocates and Lowe’s family “don’t have confidence in” the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, which is investigating the shooting along with the L.A. County district attorney’s office. He said he hoped state prosecutors also got involved. Lowe’s older sister, Yatoya Toy, said Anthony’s legs were amputated last year after an altercation with law enforcement in Texas. The family, she said, also has questions about that incident.

“Anthony was a good person,” Dorothy Lowe said. “He was always there for his family. He’s our protector.”She said she worried video of her son’s killing would go viral and lead to destructive protests.“I don’t want our city to be torn down,” she said. The shooting took place Thursday in the 1900 block of Slauson Avenue, according to the Sheriff’s Department. Reynaga said two officers fired at Lowe “around 10 times.”

“He tried to run away, and every time he turned around and did the motion like he was gonna throw the knife at him, they Tased him,” he said. “They were trying to give this guy the less-lethal taser shock. And because it was ineffective, they had to go to something that was more effective.”

Anthony Davis heated over no-foul call in Lakers' loss: 'The refs were bad'Anthony Davis criticizes the referees after a missed foul call costs the Lakers a chance at a win in a 125-121 overtime loss to the Boston Celtics. I don't know what the refs think they saw, but even a visually-impaired person could have seen that was a foul & the league will do nothing to right this unconscionable wrong. They never do. Should be mad he let 6MOTY click him down to only 16 points. Imagine being this guy and playing for one of the worst teams in the league and complaining about a call.
