The city council is demanding answers from Burbank officials after video surfaced earlier this month showing a pair of Burbank police officers 'dumping' a homeless man apparently in the midst of a mental-health crisis in North Hollywood.

The Los Angeles City Council is demanding answers from Burbank officials Tuesday after video surfaced earlier this month showing a pair of Burbank police officers "dumping" a homeless man apparently in the midst of a mental-health crisis in North Hollywood.Council members voted 13-0 in favor of a motion sponsored by Council President Paul Krekorian and Councilwoman Imelda Padilla. No further discussion was held.

"We in Los Angeles have worked long and hard to bring our unhoused neighbors off the streets by building interim shelters, tiny homes, navigation centers and supportive housing. Meanwhile, neighboring jurisdictions have simply removed unhoused people from their streets and dumped them on ours. This is inhumane and inexcusable."Krekorian's office says the man was later located and given help in the city of Los Angeles.
