Burbank Police Chief Michael Albanese stated at a City Council meeting that officers acted within the law regarding the incident, which he described as 'unfounded.'
Krekorian emphasized the need for thorough review stating, 'I look forward to working with the Burbank City Council to thoroughly review the Department's report about this tragic incident.'
The incident sparked significant concern about policing practices, with Krekorian noting 'many obvious inconsistencies' surrounding how the police handled vulnerable individuals.
Surveillance footage reportedly shows the officers dropping off a shoeless man who immediately fell on the sidewalk after being released from handcuffs.
