The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Office said one of its deputies shot and killed a black male who dropped a handgun, prompting calls for demonstrations.
According to a live stream, protesters gathered in a neighborhood in Downey, California, and other areas, while reports said that a crowd marched to the sheriff’s office station and demanded justice. They chanted the usual slogans including “Black Lives Matter” and “no justice, no peace,” the Los Angeles Times reported.
