DA Releases Video Showing A San Diego Police Officer Shooting And Killing A Homeless Man Holding A Pen!

Surveillance video showing a San Diego police officer shooting and killing a homeless man in April was released by the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office. In a news conference, District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis showed surveillance video, dispatcher-officer communications and transcripts from the shooting death of 42-year-old Fridoon Rawshan Nehad that occurred in the Midway District on April 30, 2015. Nehad was shot and killed in the 3200 block of Hancock Street by Officer Browder, a 27-year veteran of the force who was responding to a 911 call that indicated a man was threatening people with a knife. According to an investigation by the district attorney's office, Browder feared for his life when he fatally shot Nehad, who allegedly advanced on the officer in a menacing manner. It was later determined that Nehad was carrying a metallic pen, not a knife. Posted By Persist
