Former Torrance police officer, David Chandler, avoids jail time in a plea deal for shooting a Black man in 2018. He must complete community service, stay trouble-free for a year, and give up his Peace Officer certification to have his case dismissed in 2026. The shooting occurred during a disturbance at an elderly woman's home, where the man had allegedly smashed a glass door and returned with a knife. Chandler was fired in 2023 for excessive force and was connected to a racist text message scandal involving several Torrance police officers.
