Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said Monday that he has “concerns” about an encounter captured onthat shows deputies detaining at gunpoint Black teens who, according to their lawyer, had been assaulted by a man with a knife.
The lawyer, Robert Brown, said that bystanders called authorities after three teens, at least two of whom are Black, were harassed and assaulted by the man. “After having been attacked with a knife, minutes later, they experienced numerous police officers pointing guns at them,” Brown said in a statement. “So two life-and-death situations in a matter of minutes.”, Villanueva said that investigators are looking into the incident, which occurred Friday near a Buffalo Wild Wings in Santa Clarita, north of Los Angeles.
“A call for service was received as a felony assault, and the deputies detained those that were allegedly involved,” he said. Villanueva added that he has “concerns about the tactics employed” in a video of the encounter posted on Instagram. The video shows two officers who appear to have their weapons drawn standing outside a cruiser. A third emerges from an SUV with a rifle and points it at the teens, who are eventually taken into custody.Sign Up

A rush to judgement because the term black youths was used in the call? Or is this just another case of, they are black so they must be bad? Get them in the system where innocent or guilty they have little chance of receiving fair treatment, system is against them by their colour
Dumb cops with guns arresting the victims!
NBC hates cops.
wsternks Concerned that their racism and incompetence was caught on camera for all to see?
He should be more than concerned !
It’s sickening that every single call to the police involving an “assault” has to end in a confrontation against black/Latino people. The teens were the victims but just because ONE CALL to the 911 said a homeless man was attacked by black teens they arrested them. DefundPolice
So this concerns him, not the rioters and looters.
Concerns!!! Is he a relative of Susan Collins🥴
I love how they pretend they are scared of the police. If you were scared would you stand next to them and scream in their faces? Do these same people do this to their local gang members/shooters? Nope. Wonder why?
Keyword: detained. More key words: LAPD had received conflicting 911 calls. Some say the teens were the aggressors. That’s why they were only DETAINED until the facts came out.
Having a hard time finding all the unarmed black kids getting killed by police I see. We have resorted to people not being treated super nice at chaotic and potentially deadly scenes. Best line of all of it: 'according to their lawyer'.
I would have more than 'concerns'
There is always more to the story.
LASD has “concerns;” I raise with “thoughts & prayers.” BLM.
Sue. Thee. Hell. Outta them.
Susan Collins has a second job? What a commute!
Y'all need to drug test y'all police officers they act like they on crystal meth paranoid and been up for a whole week embarrassing
We know what happened. Cops saw black teens and a white guy. Implicit bias took over, shutdown reason- they KNEW the reports were of a grown man brandishing a knife, harassing a group of kids. Implicit bias is like a bell to Pavlov’s dogs. Let’s ALL learn how to make it not so.
Did that cop think they were part of that BLACK LIVES MATTER group, because I hear they are some real bad people. They have been marching around this country saying blm, no policy have changed but they are freaking saying it, did anyone see if they had signs with blm?
He has concerns? Ihave concerns that he uses the word concern how about WTF is going on over there somebody about to loose their job minus retirement fund! And retribution to the kids family and a life time of PTSD therapy
Is Susan Collins now a sheriff? The girl gets around.
It seems the police arrive at an active scene and don't find out what happened before arresting people. LAPDHQ
Samsies
Fuck your CONCERN, take action against those racist scumbags 🤦🏽♂️
That brain-dead Rambo cop w/ the semi-automatic long gun needs to not be a cop. Anyone who thinks pointing that weapon at a group of teenagers w/ a SKATEBOARD isn't operating w/ a thinking mind.
We’re getting low on Coronvirus fear!!!! .... inject 100 cc racism NOW!
'concerns'. Was SenatorCollins around when this happened?
This is a disgrace. The LASD should be ashamed, if they are still capable of any form of shame. Probably not.
“Concerns” 🤦🏻♂️
What color was the assailant?
Oh great, the Susan Collin’s response to a harrowing event.
