, one in which a SWAT officer was shot before the suspect was killed and another in which officers shot a man as he attempted to attack a victim with a knife.The incident began after officers who were helping another citizen outside the Olympic station noticed Brown standing there and then realized he had what appeared to be a gun in his hand.

Officers at the front entrance to the station, closed to the public under COVID-19 restrictions, immediately ordered him to drop the weapon. A crowd of officers near the entrance draw their weapons and call for backup. Video shows two officers in a patrol vehicle then roll up to the scene, with the passenger holding a shotgun. They get out and confront Brown from along a wall in front of the station.

“Hey! Drop the f—ing gun,” says the officer with the shotgun, as his partner tells him to get more cover. “Drop the gun or you’re gonna get dropped.”The second officer then advises the officer with the shotgun to move backward, to try to get more cover.LAPD policy calls on officers to use cover and to try to de-escalate situations if they can do so safely.

The number of shootings puts the LAPD well above the pace of police shootings in the last two years, when the department reached 30-year lows in police shootings.
