Three Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies were killed in an explosion at the Biscailuz Training Center, marking the department's deadliest incident since 1857. The cause remains unknown, but initial reports suggest the explosive was inert and brought back from a routine callout. Authorities, including the FBI and ATF, are investigating, and officials emphasize the incident was isolated with no community threat.
Outrage and protests have erupted after a video surfaced showing Los Angeles sheriff's deputies violently arresting an amputee, Alejandro 'Alex' Hernandez, who was left bloodied and battered. The deputies allegedly held Hernandez in a chokehold and punched him in the face multiple times during the arrest. Authorities claim Hernandez was resisting arrest for possessing a gun, but his family argues that excessive force was used. The incident has sparked calls for justice and an investigation into the officers' actions. Hernandez's attorney plans to file a civil rights lawsuit against the department.
