During the encounter, the man took off running and police say he
was armed. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office deputies fired on
the man, killing him.

Early reports are that a black man was riding his
bicycle in the area of the 1200 block of West 109th Place when
deputies stopped him for some type of infraction after 3pm.
Sheriff’s Lieutenant Brandon Dean provided some information as
to the shooting, stating that when deputies attempted to stop the
suspect, he dropped his bicycle and fled the area on foot.

Deputies were able to locate the man in on 109th Street and made
contact with him.
The man actively fought with deputies and punched one of them in
the face.
During the physical fight, the man dropped some clothing that he
was carrying and deputies saw a gun amongst the clothes.
When the firearm was seen, deputies opened fire, killing the
suspect.

What is not known, at this time, is if the suspect tried to
reach for the firearm which could have prompted the shooting or
not.
Investigators advised that they will be conducted interviews
with those at the scene as well as look at video surveillance in
the area to attempt to determine exactly what occurred and what may
have prompted the deputies to open fire.
Dean said:
“Our suspect was holding some items of clothing in his
hands, punched one of the officers in the face and then dropped the
items from his hands.
The deputies noticed that inside the clothing items he
dropped was a black semiautomatic handgun. At which time a deputy
involved shooting occurred.â€
The suspect was struck several times by the rounds that were
fired by at least one deputy at the scene. The firearm was
recovered. Police have not released the name of the man who died
as a result of the shooting.
This is standard practice as the next-of-kin needs to be
notified first.
Black Lives Matter LA, however, publicly identified him as Dijon
Kizzee. They also told all “white people†coming out to
protest to “defer to black leadershipâ€.
His name is
#DijonKizzee and LA County Sheriffs stole his life.
Stand for him. Stand with the community on 109th & Budlong
RIGHT NOW.
*White folks, please defer to Black leadership.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office does not have body
worn
cameras assigned to them at this time.
However, they are in the process of getting them issued out to
all deputies and they are expected to be fully operational in the
fall.

They will also build a timeline which will explain the
suspect’s movements before the shooting, in an attempt to
determine what happened prior to police contact.
Growing crowd. Pseudo legal
chatter about FOIA requests; Black lives matter tshirts, megaphone
for protest chants, defund the police signs. Yes this starting to
look like another hot spot. However, in south Los Angeles these
protesters should be careful.#losangelesshooting

Once the investigation is complete, the case will be turned over
to the District Attorney who will make a decision as to whether or
not the shooting was justified.
If the ruling is justified, the officers will be allowed back to
duty after receiving a new firearm and psychological
counseling.
If the shooting is determined not to be justified, the District
Attorney will present the case to a grand jury who will look to
indict whoever fired on the suspect. If the jury files an
information, criminal charges will be filed and the deputies will
be taken into custody.
When word spread of the deputy involved shooting, members of
Black Lives Matter put out a Twitter post calling for “all hands
on deck,†asking for people to show up at the scene and begin
protesting.

The crowd has started out as small but it will likely get much
bigger as the night progresses.
In the meantime in Portland, things have gotten so bad that
sheriffs are refusing to send deputies in to help.
PORTLAND, OR –Democratic Oregon Governor Kate
Brown called for local law enforcement outside of Portland provide
personnel and resources to the area to help curb the violence after
the murder of Aaron
Danielson.
As of now, at least two Sheriff’s have flatly refused the
request.
The reason?
It is not safe for the deputies because of the leadership in the
city.
Listen closely. This was the
instant of the murder in Portland.A: “Hey! Hey, we got one right here! We got a Trumper right
here!”
B: “Right here?”

On August 31st, Washington County Sheriff Pat Garrett released a
statement on Facebook, addressing his refusal. He said:
“Yesterday, Governor Brown issued a statement asking
local law enforcement leaders to provide personnel and resources to
assist the Portland Police Bureau (PPB), following Saturday’s
shooting death that was connected to protests.
Statement from Sheriff Pat Garrett:Yesterday, Governor Brown
issued a statement asking local law enforcement leaders…Posted by Washington County Sheriff’s
Office on Monday,
August 31, 2020
“As Washington County Sheriff, I commit to support PPB
through indirect ways, like analyzing risks associated with social
media, air support, assisting with a specific criminal
investigation, etc.
At this time, I do not plan to send deputies to work
directly in Portland. PPB is a terrific partner and I am very
sympathetic to what they are enduring.
“However, the lack of political support for public
safety, the uncertain legal landscape, the current volatility
combined with intense scrutiny on use of force presents an
unacceptable risk if deputies were deployed directly.
Lastly, I support the steps outlined in the Joint Media
Release by the Oregon State Sheriff’s Association and the Oregon
Association of Chiefs of Police, and remain committed to work with
partners and community leaders towards pace and an end to
violence.â€
Wow, just wow.
Garret’s concerns were not the only ones brought to light by
the Governor’s request.
Clackamas County Sheriff Craig
Roberts also refuses to send personnel into Portland,
saying:
“Increasing law enforcement resources in Portland will
not solve the nightly violence and now, murder. The only way to
make Portland safe again, is to support a policy that holds
offenders accountable for their destruction and
violence.â€
Roberts added:
“The same offenders are arrested night after night,
only to be released by the court and not charged with a crime by
the DA’s Office. The next night they are back at it, endangering
the lives of law enforcement and the community all over
again.â€
Portions of the Joint Media release that Garret refers to
says:
“As law enforcement professionals we believe public
safety is the foundation for safe, healthy and thriving
communities. We are committed to the wellbeing of the communities
we serve and support the right to assembly and free
speech…
“As statewide associations, we are deeply concerned
about the criminal acts at recent protest events in Portland that
have put community livability and personal safety at risk. We
unequivocally condemn the violence and loss of life that occurred
this past weekend.â€
The release then adds:
“Abandoning Law Enforcement or the need for policing,
is not working. It has only shown that it undermines the rule of
law and puts our community at greater risk.â€
And here comes a hard-felt moment of truth for the City of
Portland and the democratic liberal leaders there:
“Over the weekend, members of our associations were
approached to assist with policing in the City of
Portland.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of support for public
safety operations, the associated liability to agencies who would
be assisting in Portland and the lack of accountability for those
arrested committing criminal acts, we cannot dedicate our limited
resources away from the communities we serve.â€
The release then offered a path forward, if the leadership
approved:
“We would propose the following as steps to bring an
end to the criminal acts and violence in Portland beginning with a
strong statement by elected leadership at all levels that criminal
acts are not legitimate protest and that those who commit crimes
will be held accountable.
“There must be support for Law Enforcement actions,
through preventative detention and prosecution, when criminal
violators are arrested.
Finally, there must be publicly voiced support for Law
Enforcement and its efforts to protect lawful protesters and hold
criminal violators accountable in a very difficult
environment.â€
It is unknown if any agency will in fact send officers into
Portland to assist with routine patrols as well as riot
assistance.
There have been some claims made that the State Police will as
well as the Gresham Police Department. However, Gresham Police say
they are in discussions to determine if doing so is the right
move.

Report says Portland shooting suspect released on weapons charge in
July riot and is ‘100% Antifa’
PORTLAND, OR – Every night since George
Floyd’s death in police custody in Minneapolis in May, the city
of Portland has been under siege by the likes of Antifa and Black
Lives Matter.
Every night, there has been chaos, rioting and looting, all in
the name of George Floyd. Supposedly.
Recently, a
supporter of President Donald Trump was allegedly targeted,
shot and killed during the Portland protests not because he posed a
physical threat, but simply because of his political beliefs and
his First Amendment right to speak his mind.
Michael Reinoehl, a
48-year-old Oregon man, is being investigated as the suspect in the
shooting death of Aaron “Jay” Danielson in Portland: https://t.co/bF3Yigoz93— Heavy.com (@HeavySan)
August 31, 2020
On Aug. 29, Aaron “Jayâ€
Danielson was one of the people who decided to make a stand for
President Trump and law and order in Portland, Oregon.
But sadly, instead of letting Danielson speak his mind, as
guaranteed by the First Amendment, a member of Antifa decided to
hunt him down as if he were an animal, and shot him in cold blood,
killing him.
Listen closely. This was the
instant of the murder in Portland.A: “Hey! Hey, we got one right here! We got a Trumper right
here!”
B: “Right here?”

August 30, 2020
News of the murder spread throughout the streets. Members of
Antifa were concerned it was one of their own until they later
learned it was a member of the Patriot Prayer group. When they
learned that someone other than their own had been killed, they
rejoiced, calling Danielson a “Nazi.â€
A protester and obvious member of Antifa said:
“And tonight, I just got word that the person who died
was a Patriot Prayer Trump person. He was a f****** Nazi! Our
community held its own and took out the trash. I am not going to
shed any tears over a Nazi.â€
Where this person got the belief that Danielson was a Nazi has
not been explained. It is also not explained why someone who
supports Trump is a Nazi, especially since he has family members
who are Jewish, which is strictly against the Nazi belief.
People who have reviewed video surveillance have reportedly
named Michael Forest Reinoehl as the shooter.
Reinhoehl has been previously accused of bringing guns to the
riots in Portland and his social media feeds show that he has been
attending the Black Lives Matter riots in that area.
Reinoehl is believed to be estranged from the majority of his
family, although no specific reason has been given as to why. One
thing is certain: his family did the right thing when they saw
footage of the cold-blooded murder and reached out to police to
identify him.
His sister told the local paper:
“We reached out to police and confirmed that we
recognized Michael in the screenshots.
On the one hand, this whole thing surprises the
daylights out of us, because we always thought he is a lot of bark,
not a lot of bite. But he’s also been very impulsive and
irrational.â€
On Reinoehl’s Facebook page, Reinoehl reportedly made a recent
post in which he claimed:
“I am 100% ANTIFA all the way! I am willing to fight
for my brothers and sisters!â€
He has also reportedly posted videos of himself burning Trump
2020 flags.
Up to this point, Portland police have said very little as to
the status of their ongoing investigation into the murder. This is
not strange in any way as they are trying to obtain all facts that
they can with releasing little public information in order to
safeguard the case when it comes to trial.
As far as what led up to the shooting, that is unclear. Any
number of things could have happened prior to someone apparently
hunting down Danielson and killing him.
But just looking at the video, it appears as if the shooting was
not driven by anything more than Danielson being a Trump
supporter.
Period.
Kyle Rittenhouse attorney: Rifle was legally owned, actions “100
percent self-defenseâ€
KENOSHA, WI – In an
interview on Breitbart News Sunday with Joel Pollack, John
Pierce, attorney for Kyle Rittenhouse, maintained that Rittenhouse
acted completely in self-defense and expressed confidence that
Rittenhouse would prevail in his case.
Rittenhouse, 17, was recently arrested and charged with multiple
offenses, including first-degree intentional homicide, after firing
his AR-15 while being attacked by rioters in Kenosha. Three people
were struck by the gunfire, and two died.
The prosecution against Kyle
Rittenhouse is undoubtedly unjust. It is clear he acted in
self-defense after being aggressively chased by violent anarchists,
one carrying a pistol.They attacked him, and he unfortunately had to fire his weapon.
He is now being charged with murder. pic.twitter.com/yCkUwRDsLv— Mike Coudrey (@MichaelCoudrey)
August 26, 2020
While speaking with Pollack, Pierce shed light on the character
of young Rittenhouse and dispelled media-driven myths that
Rittenhouse was in Kenosha to make trouble.
Describing Rittenhouse as “a great kid†who was “not
looking for a fight,†Pierce shared that Rittenhouse is a
community lifeguard in Kenosha. He added that on the day of the
shooting, after he finished lifeguarding, Rittenhouse and some
friends removed graffiti from a local high school.
Pierce went on to say that Rittenhouse was present at the riots
in answer to a call for help from a business owner.
He stated that the business owner:
“…has multiple businesses there, three
businesses. Two were essentially burned to the ground, and he was
hoping to protect what was left of his life’s work.
“So Kyle went there to attempt to protect that
business.â€
The attorney added that Rittenhouse remained at the site of the
business on the night in question, all the while receiving threats
from protestors, to which Rittenhouse and his companions did not
respond.
Pierce stated that the only reason Rittenhouse ever left the
business site was to find and bring injured protestors back to that
location to render first aid. The young man treated multiple
protestors for their injuries in this manner.
Pollack asked Pierce about rumors of a criminal record for
Rittenhouse. Pierce replied that he had no knowledge of a criminal
record and pointed out that the three..
