, the mother of one of the teens, says her son and a couple of friends were sitting at a bus stop when a homeless man asked if they had any crack and then tried to steal their stuff. She says the man became super aggro, ripped his shirt off and pulled a knife on them, and attempted to stab them. She says the kids fended the man off with their skateboards.
Tammi says several 911 calls were placed and all but one claimed the boys were the victims, but one caller, she says, told the dispatcher"two black guys were attacking a homeless man." The deputies have their weapons trained on the teens, as bystanders explained they were the victims, but the cops were unmoved. It's unclear if the teens were placed under arrest. We have no idea if the cops detained the homeless man, or if he was even around when they arrived.
Of course police care. They r black.
Look it depends on how the call came out from dispatch.
If I didn't know better I would think that cops were gun crazy pieces of shit.
A homeless crackhead attacked some teens. Teens fended him off with Sk8Brd. Several people called 911. Somebody called and said 2 black teens was beating a homeless man.
I’m so tired...
I thought they wanted to defund the police?
Stick to celeb news your political agenda is so Hollywood
Wow they just keep showing their racist pricks, unbelievable how the one white cop who looks ready to pull the trigger wouldn’t listen to the lady that called them in the first place ...makes my stomach turn
What's with the long gun? Your pistol not enough for some teens and skateboards who were the victim to begin with?
Race baiting
nuggers up to no good, as usual
Unconscious bias. They have a preconcieved notion going in that the black kids are the cause of the disturbance.
Who do black people call when they are frightened and under duress? Definitely not the cops!!!! Just call Mom or your cousin Big-boy to handle it.
They are doing their job.
So better safe than sorry
I'm surprised they didn't just kill the innocent unarmed victims of an assault like they normally would do.
When a call comes in for Assault with a deadly weapon there are going to have there weapons out doesn't matter of their black, white, yellow, or purple, there going to have them ready when they get to the scene!
Was the other guy a police? WereAreAllTheGoodCopsIkeepHearingAbout
because of course they did.
Weird how this is twitters headline pretty quickly after it happens but the riots never made the top news spot
Stop with your race bwiting division bs
Pretty simple,, just do what you’re told!
Fuck TMZ y’all don’t have the full story
😳😳🤪
They will talk their way out of this one as well.
They need to protect themselves and others
So I read the story cops responding to assault with deadly weapon while pulling there guns doesn't look good. They have the right to error on the side of caution. I'm white I had 4 cops pull there guns on me because went to wrong gas station on the same street
They are assholzez
This is America...
I’m at the point where I don’t even give a fuck anymore. After being lied to about George Floyd.. I see we are just being distracted by rage. I don’t care anymore. SaveTheChildren
Very on brand.
You're contributing to the problem in this country right now. Let's wait to see the full video and events before we all start risking our lives over some internet memes, but that would be the adult thing to do.
What happened before guns were pulled? Choir practice, escorting old ladies across the street? Anyone see the new footage from officer body cams w/ Floyd? Just one more way the media makes things worse & screws up the truth! Worst of all black people are suffering because of it
sad they did not shoot 🙄
I just love how people rush to judgment without facts. karma
Black Lives Matter is a terrorist organization.
They would do the same thing if I called them to my house because of a break in. They don't know who the perpetrator is. Get your ego out of the game
Perfect timing nit wit
TMZ needs to stop this 'Triggering'!!! Pardon the pun.
I guess we will have to wait for the person video who recorded it instead of helping.
More race baiting
Don't break the law that easy
Yeah let’s go ahead and make their sound way worse. Fuck TMZ.
Pigs gonna pig
Showing he’s a racist cop
Nice, I love how TMZ tells a fraction of the story if that ....
Black people need to understand that they dont need the support of the white people to defend themselves. Until when do you put up with this?!
Here come all the boot lickers
poll Defund? TrendingNow
fake news
Black = Guilty Even when witnesses are shouting they got the wrong suspects
You call for help and almost get shot .. send them all for retraining .. Why there is no trust !!
Don't worry no one will be fired.
Terrible reporting here, TMZ.
Look like they were doing their job. Securing the scene!!
What the fuck is a ar 47? Stupid people believing to know about guns and about the procedures that need to be taken at scene. BlueLivesMatters
So what? Black people are above the law now?
So....
Shout out these brave officers who were clearly in the right aiming their guns at innocent people who had just been assaulted. The danger of skateboards is rampant, and the only solution? Guns! You know, this is exactly why ALL officers need weapons. Silly black teen victims.
And y'all wonder why people want the police defunded.
TMZ... liberal much? Christ almighty.
Pointing AR at people is justifiable because anyone can carry a gun in US... The country is fked up.
Typical.
Some gta shit
The media is so fucked up. Y’all put shit out for attention before you’re acquainted with the full facts. Also why tf does it always matter if they’re black? If they were yellow white blue or fuckin Barnie this wouldn’t be a story.
The cops have to figure out what's going on when they arrive. I wish all these people could try it for a day.
If only you put this much effort into black teens getting gunned down nightly across our country you could save some lives.
And everyone thought the worst threat to Santa Clarita was a zombie housewife.... Until.....
The officer held his rifle correctly and that's all I see here.
MsVeracruzV Explain to me why LA seems to be the centerpoint of everything on the freaking news you realize there are other people in the country!!!
Noce video with 0 context
All for the cameras... optics
What happened to telling the whole story lmao
Why is it that every sheriff’s department in the country is filled with fat fucking idiots with guns?
What a complete shocker.
And?
3 black teens that have a loaded firearm in the car. I would have Drew down on them too.don't forget you have 10 year olds with loaded pistols carjacking people on the streets of Chicago
FUCK THE POLICE
In 3 days when the full story comes out, we'll learn that, as always, they were thugs who brought it upon themselves.
crazy how only tmz shows this. and no other news network
Does this mean we get to loot Saks Fifth Avenue now?
fuck the police
Ok context please before people jump to conclusions and go cop bad cop bad
Dumb cops gonna dumb cop should we really still be surprised at this point.
You guys swear like it’s the end of the world, no one was shot everyone is fine
Police = KKK
Fuck
Oh stop it....
'Under attack' LOL
Did they get shot? No? Ok, why is this “viral” You have NO IDEA what happened before the video starts. No fucking idea. STOP SPREADING HATE.
Wow the one lady said that she called police and those aren’t the people she called about.
Stop making this racial issue. Police has a right to pull out guns and you don't have a right to tell them what to do. Simple as that. When they respond to call 'knife' used they draw weapons. So what People need to get a life.MentalHealthAwareness
nothing changes
The USA is a messed up country
Defund these MFs
how do they know he was not aiming at the homeless person
did they died?
Deflecting from the looting in Chicago I assume
While this is awful and traumatizing for the teens, the same thing happened to me and I'm white. They mistook me for a knifing suspect because of my height and my shirt. The cops were also white like me. The actual suspect turned out to be Latino so it clearly wasn't racial.
Weapons of war being used against citizens. As a veteran, this isn’t what I served for. This isn’t right. It makes me angry in fact. Downright deadly bullying tactics.
PROPAGANDA AND FEAR MONGERING
Next you’ll be telling me that cops are racist
A bit late, but it's about time TMZ started to figure out what kind of content gets click-throughs, engagement and brings in ad dollars these days..
The scene was chaotic with loud mouths distracting the police you don't know what info dispatch relayed out. It is not uncommon to be detained during investigation.
Show all the evidence all the video everything from start to finish. Let's not be biased.
Great. more looting and riots in 5, 4, 3, 2...
acab ftp
The outrage is so stupid. Should cops pull up to a scene, hear a bystander say “Dont worry they are the victims” and just put his guard down with zero information?
HomelessLivesMatter
Yeah. That's f Ed up. No need for pointing guns at this time.
Sad
No more Backing Up. Everyone, every white person, myst disobey and close in to surround the black body police are taking over.
So police cops think that are fight isis terossit
I honestly can't do this anymore. If someone attacks you, just run....damn!
Yes the facts do need to come out, I am sure there is more to the story
Media starting to stir up and twist narratives again...
Fire them all., disgusting ruining teen lives, can't trust the police ever now.
The issues here to many post assuming because of a bad apple(s) in the bunch. Stop and be grown up, look at it all the angles. Stop portraying half the story. tammilaray Please think of all the calls and all the other things before making judgment. Only God can judge God Bless
Are you guys still surprised? 🤦🏽♂️
ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS
And they wonder why we say 'FUCK THE POLICE'!🖕🏿🖕🏿
How dare they . Just teens is fine but 'BLACK TEENS' Oh my 😏
Idiots. How come the other good cops don’t speak up?
TMZ gets big stiffies over stories like this.
What I don't understand are these cops LAPDHQ and other department human? I don't understand how they take a job where they so carelessly feel that it's okay to take away innocent lives? Once upon a time it was an honor to be a police officer now they are the bad guy
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Pure thuggery... when officers arrive on scene, they have to secure the area. The video takers made the matter worse and endangered lives.
Funny how the black teen is always making troubles ! Never in a library reading or working !!! Either drunk , partying , loud music and fighting !!! All life matters and not only blacks
Not even BLM REALLY believes that ALL Black Lives Matter. The only black lives that matter to them are the ones that are taken by white cops. They cherry pick which ones 'matter' to them to fuel their narrative and further their blatant agenda.
How is this policing? 🤔
TMZ is instigators mofo Why don’t you report what’s going on in Portland and Seattle for a past two three months
Omg this is totally wrong let the kid go you made a mistake put the guns away
RBZ should be your new name...”Race Baiting”
This is what humane ppl mean when they say there is Institutionalized Racism. Unfortunate Police often see black ppl as threats.This is why UNJUST MURDERS occur. Ppl PRETEND there is no Institutionalized Racism but this is just another example. I for one am sick of it.
But the causianman with the ak didn’t get this
TMZ is trash.
Man, I'm never going down to the states. It's like a third world warzone down there.
So, I guess they are afraid for their lives 🤷🏾♀️crazy and degrading!!! They wear their feelings on their sleeves!!
Nazi storm troopers 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Why does this keep happening
Your daily race baiting articles !!! What about what’s going in Chicago
I've seen profiling with my own eyes happening to a shell shocked black kid down in Florida. So I usually can't give cops benefit of the doubt in these situations.
The level at which I would fuck somebody up.... You lose your badge You lose your badge You all lose your badges
Not surprised
Why do you continue to fan the flame of race? Its discussing what you're doing. You have become a radical left rag mag, pushing racial divide and hate How about you report on the white liberal democrats ANTIFA rioting EVERY NIGHT, attacking people or Bidens rape allegations
so the homeless person with the knife gets away? the Black teens have nightmares?
Every police department has to get rid of any kkkops that support dRumpf.
I’m sick of this shit! At worst these kids where swinging skateboards and are being treated liked robbers or car thieves! God forbid if one of them would have been scared and ran😡
Where is the video of what happened prior to the cops pulling their guns? Nine times out of ten there is more to a story like this one.
Racist is real, and they hunt blacks down like animals!
ACAB
All Cops are PIGS
This is horrible
Your solution? If they might be in crossfire, what were they supposed to do?
JSMDH Just sickening to watch this s**t!
These comments piss me off!! These are kids & instead of coming to their aide they point semiautomatic weapons in their faces BC THEY R BLACK. This has to end each officer involved needs to be fired. If these were white kids they definitely wouldn’t have guns in their faces.
but its not institutional...okay
Guessing our taxpayers money will cover this lawsuit too.....
Why do cops always think everyone is a highly dangerous and armed terrorist. Stop being scared pussys and go talk to them like a civilized human.
K
That 911 caller is a scumbag, we know what that way of using language triggers.
I'll wait till the actual truth comes out. I know this is for the racist people trying to ruin this country. If black lives mattered they would cancel and defend planned parenthood since abortion is the number 1 killer in the black community.
TMZ: It’s unclear what exactly happened, we’re waiting for more info. In the meantime here’s an inflammatory video. Journalisming
Police “See something say something” also police “Stand away from me, back up and be quiet”
This is out of control if you call 911 dispatch and give them a description of a suspect and call about a problem and state what it is, they’re supposed to help with that, all they heard was 3 black kids on the call.. I hope the parents sue the hell out of the sheriff department
Black Teens kill loot and attack a lot of people though..lol
Thanks LASD for another lawsuit.
why do I feel this isnt the actual story? TMZ sure know how to spin some bullshit. poor little dindunuffink teens just minding their business...blah blah blah!
Race bating TMZ still at it
All Lives Matter!
