Screen shot from Instagram video by Tammi Collins, mother of one of the skaters held at gunpoint by LASD deputies. “I still wonder how will I ever help my son recover from this traumatic experience. “This is something my son and his friends will never forget,” wrote Tammi Collins, the mother of one of the skaters held at gunpoint by the LASD deputies, who posted one of the Instagram videos of the incident. Over the weekend, an Instagram video went viral of an incident in the Santa Clarita Valley, which took place after three skateboarding kids, two of whom happened to be Black, were being physically harassed by a homeless guy brandishing a knife, causing onlookers, including the manager of the nearby Buffalo Wild Wings, to call the cops to help the kids. But when LA County Sheriff’s deputies arrived on scene, they held the two Black teenagers at gunpoint, with frightening intensity, and reportedly didn’t bother with the knife-wielding homeless man.
The last week wasn’t an easy period for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and some of the community members they were policing.
