#BrokenTaillightPolicing: But unlike Mr. Floyd’s death – and so many other questionable uses of force by police – no footage of the Aug. 7, 2020, shooting has been made public until now.

That aligns with crime numbers in the city.
CHP has notoriously lagged behind in its use of body cameras, with only 237 cameras having been distributed to just 3% of the force.
CHP eventually paid $7 million to settle the civil lawsuit… One of the officers involved in that fatal shooting, Sgt. Richard Henderson, had previously killed an unarmed man in Southern California several years earlier, this news organization reported.
