Former LAPD Officer Clifford Proctor Arrested at LAX for 2015 Killing of Homeless Man

Arrest of Former LAPD Officer Clifford Proctor

• 👮 Former LAPD Officer Clifford Proctor was arrested at LAX on Thursday night on a felony murder warrant.
• ✈️ Proctor, who had reportedly been living abroad, was taken into custody upon his arrival back in the country.
• 💰 He is currently being held on $2 million bail according to jailhouse records.

2015 Shooting of Brendon Glenn

• 💔 Proctor's arrest stems from the controversial on-duty shooting death of Brendon Glenn, an unarmed homeless man, in Venice in 2015.
• ⚖️ The shooting occurred during a struggle when officers responded to a disturbance call, and Glenn was allegedly intoxicated and not complying with orders.
• 💥 Proctor told investigators he believed Glenn was reaching for his partner's gun during the altercation.

Decade-Long Legal Battle

• ⏳ There has been a decade-long legal battle over whether Proctor should face murder charges for Glenn's death.
• 📅 A warrant for Proctor's arrest was issued exactly one year prior to his apprehension, by the prior District Attorney.
• 🏛️ In 2016, the then-LAPD Chief recommended charges, but in 2018, the then-LA County DA found insufficient evidence to prove Proctor acted unlawfully.
• 🔍 Years later, a special prosecutor was hired to review officer-involved shootings, which apparently led to the warrant being issued last year.

Path Forward for Prosecution

• 🤔 It will now be up to the current LA County District Attorney to decide if this case should move forward.
• 💬 The current DA's office has stated they are aware of the arrest but are unable to comment at this time.
