Police Shooting in Anaheim Leads to Violent Clash



An officer involved shooting in Anaheim prompted angry citizens to protest. Things got so messy that officers had to release a canine on the citizens and shot rubber bullets in order to calm the crowd. This video is a strong contrast to my previous posts where I have stated that violent crimes are down in the U.S. While as a country our crime rates may be low, it is important to keep in mind that violence in our smaller regions may be getting out of hand. Citizen gets violent-officer allegedly shoots citizen-citizens become outraged and become violent-officers get violent to calm the citizens. Crime is bouncing back and forth and while they may be at the lowest rate we've seen in years, they are still evident.
