Suspect literally lashes out, gets shot

This footage from the Los Angeles Police Department shows officers responding to reports that a man was using a length of cable to strike at passers-by. The officers found the suspect in possession of a bunched group of metal wires. Although initially compliant, the suspect eventually charged one of the officers with the improvised whip. Less-than-lethal 40-millimeter rounds proved ineffective as the suspect continued to charge, flailing at the officer with the weapon. This obliged LAPD to escalate to lethal force. Viewer discretion is advised. The suspect, later identified as Hugo Polanco, 56 years of age, was transported to an area hospital where he later died from injuries sustained. No other persons were harmed.
