Police Justified in Fatal Beanbag Shooting

Orange County DA rules Fullerton police corporal justified in firing beanbag rounds at Alejandro Campos Rios, who died after being hit by the fifth round outside McDonalds in 2024. Campos Rios was acting erratically, shirtless, and swinging a belt, refusing to drop the weapon despite commands. The corporal fired after Campos Rios advanced towards an officer, with previous Taser attempts failing. The DAs report found the corporal reasonably feared harm to others or Campos Rios himself, considering the restaurant managers concerns and stress.
