LAPD Looking Into Fatal Shooting of Unarmed Homeless Man

Los Angeles police officials will hold a town hall meeting tonight to discuss the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man by a police officer — caught on video — two days ago.


But the police union leader is angrily asserting that the police chief's verdict may already be in.
Brendon Glenn, 29, was shot outside a Venice bar after police were called about the homeless man and his dog harassing customers. Officers tried to detain Glenn, and a physical altercation ensued, Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck said.


Last week the city Police Commission signed off on a plan to outfit every LAPD officer with a body camera. The officers involved weren't wearing them yet, but the confrontation was caught on security video.


After watching it, Beck said he was "very concerned" about the shooting.
