No Charges for Law Enforcement in Recent Controversial Incidents in Los Angeles
The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office has decided not to charge the deputies involved in the 2018 shooting of 16-year-old Anthony Weber, who was killed by a sheriff's deputy. The shooting sparked protests and outrage in South Los Angeles, with questions arising about what happened and whether the teen posed a threat. The Sheriff's Department claimed the boy was carrying a gun, but investigators never recovered a firearm. Prosecutors said the deputy who killed him "acted in lawful self-defense."
