Black Lives Matter protesters who gathered outside the home of Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey early Monday were met by her husband, who waved a gun at them and told them to leave. Lacey has apologized for the incident.
Lacey apologized for the incident, but mentioned death threats she's received and the times she's been followed and confronted. The incident was videotaped by a Black Lives Matter member and is posted on social media."I will shoot you. Get off of my porch," David Lacey can be heard saying as he stood in the doorway.
I just want to live in peace and do my job."Los Angeles police will investigate the incident and,"if appropriate, bring to an independent prosecutor's office for review," the district attorney's office said in a statement. Melina Abdullah, an activist and professor of Pan African Studies at Cal State LA, said going to Lacey's house on the eve of the election was their way of trying to take Lacey up on her word to meet with the group.
