I'll wait until all the details come in...

[No name given]

The drugs rotted the brain 🧠 of Jesse.

[BobL]

Lots of ‘actors’ in LA ‘struggle’, but very few of them make a cop shoot them.

[Karliner]

The “actor” tried tazing the cop?

[Ikeon]

Excuse my forwardness, but are you having a mental health episode? said the leo before the man swung the knife and slit the officers throat...

you shoot rabid dogs ,you dont try to pet them.

[antceecee]

This likely got him shot”
“ California Highway Patrol cops responded to reports of Dominguez walking along the 105 Freeway in Watts, not far from the sober living facility where he lived.

When confronted by the officer, Dominguez “was able to access a Taser,” which he used against the officer, CHP Officials said.”

[Drew68]

Every drug-addled homeless bum in L.A. is a “struggling actor.”

[patriot torch]

so it wasn’t Martin Sheen eh?

Jesse Dominguez, an aspiring actor working as a waiter and living in a sober living facility due to drug addiction, was shot dead by police during what his family claims was likely a mental health crisis while he was living sober living facility.

But shot on the freeway? Bad writing.

The family supported the cops until their lawyer told them how much money they could make suing the police

[Drew68]

From another source:

"The end of his life was unfathomable to Dominguez’s family members, who knew the 33-year-old as a troubled man who was a “softie” and wanted more than anything to be an actor, though he never got any roles."

So, he was not an actor. He had never acted in anything.

[thegagline]

Actor?

I think the video of him being killed is his only film credit.

[joshua c]

what was the police officer supposed to do?

[rktman]

Why wasn’t his loving family caring for him? Oh, more money now? When will the “executed by the cops” cry come out?

[AirForceVet1988]

If all he had was a taser, why not just shoot him in the leg to take him down ??

[OrangeHoof]

This was his big acting scene, the chance to play a shooting victim on BodyCam:

“Oh, the pain! The Pain! My world is getting so much darker. I fear my time is short, my flame is flickering out. I regret I have but one death for my community. It is fini!!

[roving]

There is no reason to keep shooting him. If we did that, we would be charged with a crime.

[dragnet2]

The suspect was armed with a taser which was used or attempted to be used by by the suspect on the cop.

In the video, you can see after the suspect was shot an object falls away from the suspect to his right.

Use a weapon on a cop, things will get ugly. It was a legitimate shoot.

[pierrem15]

I watched the video several times. I don't see the guy reach for the cop's gun as they struggle, but I can easily see why the cop might have thought he did.

The guy was flat on the ground already, so I think the main issue is that the cop could have just disengaged by standing up and backing off: which he wound up doing anyway as he shot him.

So the legal question is whether the cop has justifiable fear for his life. Maybe at the first or second shot, but not afterwards.

[golux]

In before “learn to code.”

[RetiredTexasVet]

Was he wearing his yellow mental patient caution vest?
