From Santa Monica Close Up:
"On Monday, August 5, 2024, a Los Angeles police officer faced a tense situation with an aggressive individual during a camping enforcement operation at the Venice Beach Boardwalk. The incident began when police requested a homeless man to move away from the boardwalk with his belongings. The individual asked for medical assistance, prompting the police to call Los Angeles Firefighter Paramedics. The paramedics arrived shortly and transferred the man to the hospital.
Sanitation workers later arrived to dispose of the remaining items, which the homeless man had relinquished. During this time, another homeless individual who was also asked to move did not cooperate, yelling and threatening the police. The police were prepared to use force, but after a brief standoff, the man ultimately walked away with his suitcase of belongings."
