Here’s more about the shooting via CBS News:
Protesters marched on Tuesday for the second day in a row from the scene where a Black man was fatally shot by deputies to a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s office, demanding answers over the latest deadly encounter between police and a Black American. The sheriff’s office has said Dijon Kizzee was stopped for riding his bicycle in violation of vehicle codes, tried to run away, and was then shot after dropping a bundle of items that included a handgun.
But with no body cameras in use by the deputies and no cell phone video yet to surface, activists say the public is being asked to take the sheriff’s department’s account of the incident at face value, and given the recent spate of fatal police encounters with Black men, protesters are once again claiming injustice.
The two deputies involved in the fatal shooting have been removed from active field duty pending an investigation, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department announced Tuesday.
