The Santa Monica Police Department released bodycam footage Thursday of an attack on an officer in October that ended in a knife-wielding man being shot and killed outside the department’s headquarters.

The incident took place at around 5:21 p.m. Oct. 5, when the officer was heading outside the building to talk to a woman about an unrelated call, according to the department. 

The officer’s bodycam video showed three people outside – the suspect, later identified as 28-year-old Deyaa Abdelhadi Halaibeh, the woman and another man.

“Let me talk to them first, and then we can talk,” the officer can be heard telling Halaibeh, who approached him at the door.

Halaibeh, who had one hand inside his jacket, asked if the other people were at the building first, and the woman said she was. He then began to talk before the officer cut him off to ask what he was holding inside his jacket.

“What’s in your jacket? I’m kind of nervous with your hand inside your jacket like that,” the officer said.

“You’re nervous?” Halaibeh said, then lunged at the officer with a knife. The officer was stabbed and slashed before he was able to run to the side of the building and arm himself with his gun, all while Halaibeh attacked him.

The officer fired a few shots, causing Halaibeh to stumble and drop his knife. He picked the knife back up and began walking toward the officer again before he was shot.

Santa Monica Police said he was pronounced dead outside the station. The officer was taken to a hospital, where he was treated and released.

Halaibeh, a resident of New York, had no criminal history in California and no prior contact with Santa Monica Police, the department said. It’s unclear what prompted him to attack the officer.

The knife he used was an eight-inch chef’s knife that was part of a pack he snatched from a Target employee minutes before arriving at the police station, according to surveillance video. Halaibeh allegedly assaulted the employee during the theft.

Santa Monica Police said California law gives departments 45 days to release video and audio recordings of critical incidents, and the department understands the importance of doing so when deadly force is used.

“The use of force by law enforcement personnel is a matter of critical concern, both to the public and to the law enforcement community. Every day, officers are involved in rapidly evolving interactions with members of the public and, when warranted, use reasonable force in carrying out their duties,” a statement from the department said. 

“This is especially true with respect to officers safeguarding the community and themselves from attacks and overcoming resistance while engaged in the performance of law enforcement duties. Officers and their supervisors are responsible for understanding their authority and its limitations and appreciating the serious consequences of every use of force.”

Some San Francisco roadways and neighborhoods experienced minor flooding Friday as the atmospheric river dumped heavy rain on the city.

Matthew Coric said he was inside his restaurant when all the sudden he noticed water rising outside.

“Water was coming over the curb already and Rainbow Grocery closed for the day because they flooded or started to flood, and the next two restaurants had water in their restaurant already,” said Coric.

Two years ago during another big storm, the entire block flooded with several feet of water.

Coric told KPIX he was determined to not let that happen again, so he and some of his employees grabbed brooms and anything else they could get their hands on and ran towards the flooding.

“These two drains right here on either side of the street, we literally couldn’t see them. This was up above the curb. We were just blindly scraping trying to get it unclogged until we could see the little tornado start,” said Coric.

He said they were able to unclog the drain just in time to stop the water from flooding his restaurant, and that it took about 30 minutes for the water to fully recede. 

While he is happy they were able to avoid another crisis, he said he wishes the city would have been monitoring the area so that he and his employees didn’t have to fix it on their own.

“It flooded two years ago, and then last year the city was like high alert. They would park their trucks out here and make sure nothing happened. But now it’s been two years, they forgot about us again and same thing happened,” said Coric.

He said, from now on when it rains, he’s going to monitor the drains himself and step in anytime he sees them getting clogged.

He recommends that others in areas where flooding happens do the same.

“If you’re out on the street, anybody right, and you see the drain overflowing, I know if you can wait for the city that’s great, but it might not come. Just clean it yourself or get somebody that can just to save everybody a bunch of headaches,” said Coric.

Speaking to Denver’s station 9, Johnston, 50, stated that he is prepared to serve time in prison in order to halt any attempts at deportation.

Calling it a “Tiananmen Square moment,” the mayor of Denver has pledged to use local police and 50,000 citizens “stationed at the county line” to protect migrants residing in his sanctuary city from Trump’s mass deportation.

“More than us having [federal agents] stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there,” he stated.

“It’s like the Tiananmen Square moment … right?” Johnston asked, making a reference to the well-known conflict between a Chinese student and a government tank at Tiananmen Square, China, during the 1989 uprising.

“You’d have every one of those Highland moms who came out for the migrants,” he continued, adding that “And you do not want to mess with them,” recalling the time when Denver people were reportedly ready to fight the federal government to the death.

Mike Johnston faces flak for his warning

Danielle Jurinsky (R), a councilwoman for Aurora City, told The Post that Johnston’s strategy will simply highlight his ineffectiveness in one of the nation’s so-called sanctuary cities, which deter or prohibit local officials from assisting federal immigration investigators in migrant cases.

“Aurora does not plan to provide the Trump administration any assistance, as far as I know, but we will certainly not stand in the way of what the American people voted for,” he stated.

After Johnston compared his endeavor to Tiananmen Square, Xi Van Fleet, a Chinese survivor of Mao’s revolution, lambasted him on Thursday, telling Fox Business that he is “either profoundly ignorant of the history, or he did the false analogy on purpose.”

Elon Musk, who Trump just appointed to lead the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), also reacted to Johnston’s warning, saying that it demonstrates “the mayor of Denver hates his constituents.”

Trump’s border czar speaks out

Tom Homan, Trump’s choice for “border czar,” told The Post that he hopes the incoming government will sue sanctuary communities and stop providing them with federal funds.

He claimed that if they don’t alter their stand, the Trump government will “flood” certain communities with Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel to stay outside local prison for the release of illegal migrants.

Johnston declared that he would not permit local law enforcement to help the federal government apprehend undocumented migrants.

“Absolutely not,” Johnston remarked. “We won’t do it.”
