Los Angeles, California — On July 13, 2025, around 9:10 a.m., Central Patrol Division uniformed officers responded to a radio call of an ADW suspect in the area of South Figueroa Street and West Olympic Boulevard. The comments of the call indicated that a male suspect stopped his vehicle in the middle of the intersection, exited, and was swinging a sword at pedestrians. Upon arrival, officers observed the suspect, later identified as 36-year-old Gurpreet Singh, standing in the intersection holding a machete. Officers gave multiple commands for Singh to drop the weapon; however, he failed to comply. Singh then returned to his vehicle, retrieved a water bottle, and threw it at the officers.
He subsequently entered his vehicle and fled southbound on Figueroa Street while waving the machete outside the driver’s side window. Officers initiated a brief vehicle pursuit during which Singh drove erratically and collided with an officer’s vehicle. A short time later, Singh stopped near Figueroa Street and 12th Street, exited his vehicle while still armed with the machete, and charged at the officers, resulting in an Officer-Involved Shooting (OIS). Singh was struck by gunfire and fell to the pavement. The Los Angeles Fire Department responded and transported Singh to a local hospital for medical treatment. A machete, two feet in length, was recovered at the scene and booked as evidence. No officers or community members were injured during the incident.

Alright, I’ll say it:
He brought a knife to a gunfight.

Several shots-no blood. What’s goin’ on?
Given the leftist nature of LA, its municipal and State gubmints, my first thought when I read ‘ADW’, was that it stood for ‘Another Damn White’! The I read the name Gurpreet Singh, and realized that he likely wasn’t ‘Another Damn White’. (Though, who knows, maybe a White American ‘culturally appropriated’ the name, to become a trucker, and move to Canaduh!)
The video confirmed that this fellow was NOT ‘Another Damn White’, and I realized that ‘ADW’ meant ‘Assault with a Deadly Weapon’.
Just another day in Las Angeles! Makes me want to visit! NOT!
OMG, that’s just pathetic. The cops were completely amateurish.
Finally, one in the end took charge and stopped that freak.
A double duty .38 machete!
“”””From the initial contact, they never should have let him get back into his vehicle. It put a lot more lives at risk.””””
Yep, nothing they did seemed focused on immediately reducing the public threat, instead it got worse.
Crappy low-res cameras.

No community organizers responded?
Why didn’t the police use a gun?
Suicide by cop. The cops seemed pretty incompetent. Why did they stay so far away from him when he was getting into his car? They appeared to be a bunch of rookies.
Could have been a muzzie from India.
After life saving treatment he will be released with strict orders to stay away from sharp objects, do 51 hours of community service, and take drug abuse, anger management classes, and driving classes. Next time, he’ll do the shooting.
He died. Didn’t make it.
LOL! I KNEW if I scrolled down I would find that clip - posted by YOU! :)
Could be that civilians were behind the guy.

I confess, I first misread that title.
