[WATCH] Southern California Cop Pulls Out Gun and Fires While Struggling with Unarmed Juvenile

A video is going viral on Facebook showing an off-duty Los Angeles police officer pulling out a gun and firing as he struggles to arrest an unarmed boy who appears to be about 14.

The incident took place Tuesday in Anaheim, which is in Orange County, so the cop was completely out of his jurisdiction.

The student being arrested can be heard saying he is not even sure the man is a cop and the students witnessing the arrest are also not sure. Some are even saying they have called police.

At one point, other students begin to defend their classmate by pushing the man off him, which is when he pulls out his gun and fires in what appears to be a negligent discharge.

Luckily, nobody was struck. At no point did the man ever pull out a badge.

Eventually, uniformed cops arrive and handcuff the boy and pat the man down, but he is not arrested.

According to the Los Angeles Times:

Because the police officer used his gun, homicide detectives were assigned to the case and interviewed witnesses at the scene.

The names of the two teens arrested were not released because they are juveniles. One was booked on suspicion of battery and making criminal threats, and the other on suspicion of assault and battery.
It’s unclear what led to the dispute.

Wyatt said the off-duty officer is cooperating with the inquiry and has not been arrested. His name was not released.

The video was posted to the Mediatakeout Facebook page with the following description:
