LA Sheriff's Dept: Deputies kill Black man who dropped a gun

[FBaggins]

6. The gun was apparently in a bundle of clothes that he dropped

If, upon contact with the police, he runs... and then drops a bundle of clothing containing a gun... one can imagine a violation of California Vehicle Code 21205.

No person operating a bicycle shall carry any package, bundle or article which prevents the operator from keeping at least one hand upon the handlebars.

But it could be dozens of other things. I'm just not sure why they wouldn't just say "failed to yield to a pedestrian" or "had no lights at night" of "failed to stop at a signal" (etc.)
