From [HERE] and [HERE] and [HERE] As Anaheim braced for more demonstrations protesting recent officer-involved shootings, the city's police Friday morning were involved in the third such incident in less than a week. The latest incident occurred six days after police fatally shot an unarmed man during a brief foot chase, a case that has sparked days of protests and unrest on the city's streets.
Authorities said the most recent shooting occurred when officers responded to a burglary alarm about 3:15 a.m. at a clubhouse in a residential area near Water and East Olive streets. They found a man running from the building with what looked to be stolen property, Sgt. Bob Dunn of the Anaheim Police Department told KTLA.
Police chased the man on foot as he ran toward a car, and the driver of the vehicle then tried to run over an officer, Dunn said. The driver got away, and officers were unsure if he had been hit by gunfire, he said. Police said they were looking for a dark pickup truck with a utility rack. The other suspect was caught by a K-9 unit as he was hiding in some bushes, Dunn told reporters. He said the man is a paroled burglar and was treated for a bite from a police dog. Dunn told the Associated Press that it was unclear if anyone was hit by the gunfire in Friday morning's confrontation, but he said no one had showed up at a local hospital with wounds that would be linked to the case.
Anonymous unleashed its own dogs on the Anaheim PD [MORE] Protest organizers are planning various events during the weekend. Police have said they will not tolerate more violence. Hacker group Anonymous came through on its promise to target Anaheim police today by publishing not only the home address of Chief John Welters but, more embarrassingly, his MySpace page info.
Today the group released a statement that says, in part: To the police force in Anaheim, CA - we have witnessed your brutality and aggressive methods at stifling freedom of speech. We know about how you executed an unarmed man, shooting him in the back of the head while he was on his knees. We have witnessed you putting innocent women and children in danger, these actions are unforgivable. [MORE] and [MORE]
