Laws Are Just For The Little People: LA DA's Husband Brandishes Gun

The Daily Mail reports about the "Shocking moment Los Angeles DA's husband points a gun at Black Lives Matter protesters on his porch and threatens to shoot them." From the article:
      Abdullah, professor of pan-African studies at Cal State LA, told KTTV the protesters rang Lacey's doorbell to meet with her.

      'Her husband met us at the door with a gun,' Abdullah told KTTV. 'We heard him cock it, he pointed the gun as he opened the door and then when he saw me, he pointed the gun directly at my chest.'

      The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that officers were called to a Granada Hills home around 5.40am regarding about 50 protesters outside a home, Officer Lizeth Lomeli said.

      Lomeli said there have not been any arrests but police did not immediately confirm the report of a man brandishing a gun.

      In the video, a woman off-camera says: 'Good morning. Are you going to shoot me?'

      The man, identified by Cannick as David Lacey, says: 'I will shoot you. Get off of my porch.'

      The woman responds: 'Can you tell Jackie Lacey that we're here?'

      The man says: 'I don't care who you are, get off of my porch right now. We're calling the police right now.'
You or I would be in jail for brandishing and/or aggravated assault.

    1. David Codrea appears to have the same take as I do on this incident (see https://www.ammoland.com/2020/03/lapd-has-no-excuse-for-not-arresting-das-husband-for-brandishing/)
