“I will no longer be complicit in genocide [in Gaza]. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest,” the man apparently said before setting himself alight and repeatedly shouting “Free Palestine!”

casually j-walks across a non busy street

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/california-police-shooting-jaywalking-video-b1806614.html

Sheriff’s deputies from Orange County fatally shot the man, 42-year-old Kurt Reinhold, amid an altercation in September in San Clemente, California.

The video, released on Thursday last week, shows two sheriff's deputies considering whether or not to charge Reinhold with jaywalking, before tackling him to the floor.

Reports say the sheriff’s deputies were on patrol and were assigned to the homeless outreach team, when the shooting took place.

One of the deputies says in the video, "Watch this, he's going to jaywalk," before asking Reinhold: "Are you going to stop or are we going to have to make you stop?

"Jaywalking here? That's ridiculous,” Reinhold adds.
