Fernando Giovanni Saucedo

Deadly force

Pollard and a partner were assigned to cover a neighborhood that has a lot of celebratory gunfire on New Year's Eve. He was dispatched to home where that was happening. As Pollard and his partner, dressed in green SWAT uniforms, walked up to Sauceda's home, several people had guns. All complied except for Sauceda, who police said pointed a gun at Pollard. The officer brushed the gun aside and tried to disarm him, eventually shooting him several times. Sauceda's family said police did not identify themselves properly.
