Cell phone video of three Black teenagers ages 16 and 17 being detained by Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies inside of a target in Southern California has gone viral and prompted an apology from the retail giant.
The incident happened at the Target in Westlake Village. Video shows deputies holding the teens’ arms behind their backs and pushing them up against a checkout counter.
“I was thinking I was going to die that night,” 17-year-old
Malik Aaron told KCAL-9. “I already had that mindset that they were either going to kill me or one of my friends.”
Aaron said he and four friends left church on Sunday and went to the retail giant to buy snacks. The teens said once they were inside, they saw a separate group of Black men steal iPhones from a display case and run out of the store. That’s when they said a Target staff member started following them around the store.

This week, some Bethel residents received their water delivery a day early. On Jan. 10, the City of Bethel wrote on its Facebook page that this was “due to COVID-19 related issues.”
Bethel Public Works Director Bill Arnold explained that two water truck drivers have COVID-19 and are isolating. The early deliveries were to make sure that the remaining drivers did not fall behind schedule. He said that the infected employees are not exhibiting severe symptoms.
Arnold said that he doesn’t expect any delays in water deliveries due to the two employees testing positive. Even with them isolating, there are 11 hauled utility drivers who are still able to work, and Arnold said that the department can avoid delays as long as there are 9 drivers.
