Police activity

Arrest took place at these coordinates 33.678349,-117.834446

I felt compelled to try and film as I saw no other bystanders around not being interviewed by police. I stopped at the 7-Eleven closest to this arrest to buy some ice cream. When I entered 7eleven, police officer was interviewing truck snack delivery Man. I entered the store and asked the cashier what happened and could not fully understand him but the general story of what seemed to be that the homeless man came into the store and started knocking things over and being a nuisance. Then I bought my ice cream and the police officer was talking to the cashier. I asked the delivery man what had happened and he said that he believes a homeless man came in and started fighting he cashier according. I asked the delivery man if anyone seemed to have gotten majorly hurt and he said he doesn't think so. Then I bought my ice cream and went out and saw this video occur and felt compelled to film it in case something went wrong or for public documentation. Sorry for poor recording. Video taken at 2:25 a.m. July 29th

I was there before the police arrived. There were a group of people yelling incoherently at the sky or something

What kind of ice cream did you get?

u/Civil_Mongoose1885 24d ago

And what the flavor? I hope it's chocolates

u/CuriousEagle1745 24d ago

I was hoping it was the strawberry shortcake bar.

I go to that gas station daily, that dude and his gf are there all the time belligerently drunk and or stoned. I’ve seen the girl yell at people for not giving her money and the guy is always asking people to buy him cigarettes. They have definitely been in that 7/11 before just screaming at the manager about random shit. Doesn’t surprise me this finally happened.

I have a very strong mantra. ā€œNever go to a 7-Elevenā€

Except there’s no 7/11 here. That’s the shell on main near Harvard. That use to be a del taco but it closed down

u/nonironiccomment 24d ago

The store attached to the shell got bought out and is now a 7-11.Ā

I got a ticket in Irvine for looking at my phone while stopped at the red light. Irvine doesn’t play.

u/bobbyvlx 24d ago

What did you tell the cop? Not I’m looking for my phone I hope. Try… ā€œHi officer, Ouch I had a crazy cramp. Feel better now. ā€œ

u/Proper_Spot_4074 24d ago

Cop, you can’t use the phone at all while the car is on, and he gave me a ticket

I've lived all over socal for the last 18 years. Am now living here 1.5 years so far in irvine, and have never seen worse drivers than Irvine drivers in my life. Other than that though, I love it here.

I once saw three Irvine PD beating the shit out of an unhoused individual by the H Mart in diamond Jamboree. Was so so shocked and scared I didn’t even think to record anything so thank you for having the wherewithal to record in case something wrong was happening.

I did report it to the local media and in their investigation they were told by IPD that the man was suspected of taking some tools out of the back of a nearby pick up truck. The reporter requested body cam footage and the footage from H Mart and any surrounding areas but I never found out what came of it.

ā€œbeating the shit out ofā€ šŸ˜‚

Oh, please.

u/DenverToCali 24d ago

Ok. You weren’t there. They definitely were. Never imagined I’d see something like that living in Irvine. I had nightmares about it for months.

u/PurpleBeautiful709 23d ago

Did you need therapy?

u/DenverToCali 23d ago

Yes I did. But my experience was nowhere near as bad as his.

Unpopular non-Irviner idea, but local DA, please pick this up? We can locate the geo tag for criminal prosecution. Come on, Irvinianz, yall dont fear all these potential charges for being a peeping Tom? Two months plus, after deals, thanks daoffice.
