“If the guy pulled out a pocketknife and approaches him, game over,” Giacalone said Sunday. The I-Team obtained video, photos and evidence related to the deadly shooting by an ex-LAPD officer at the Corona Costco. Joseph Giacalone, a professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice and a retired New York City Police Department sergeant, said it’s justifiable to use deadly force even in a crowded store if the attacker has a weapon. The department’s policies allow off-duty officers to carry concealed weapons as long as they are authorized for on-duty use, according to the LAPD manual. He was treated and released at a nearby hospital and his child was not injured.
The officer’s identity has not been released. The initial decision not to file charges in the case came. Los Angeles Police Commission President Steve Soboroff said Sunday it is Chief Michel Moore’s decision whether to put the officer on leave, but it remained unclear if that happened. The California attorney general’s office on Monday said it has filed manslaughter and assault charges against a former Los Angeles police officer who is accused of fatally shooting a mentally. Before the firing, the Los Angeles Board of Police Commissioners found, in June 2020, that the off-duty officer had violated LAPD policy.
