Whittier police officer killed this morning by gang member (early release?)

[fan_since79]

Released (early, according to the Whittier police chief) a week ago...killed another man this weekend and stole his car, then crashed it in Whittier at 8 am this morning. He opened fire on police who arrived to investigate the traffic accident. A 25-year veteran officer was killed.

Thanks, Jerry Brown and California voters!

Too bad the killer is still alive. Taxpayers on the hook for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Execution date at least 40 years away.

Yup, nothing bad can happen from the early release program, especially with plea deals and the wording of what is considered a violent offender.  Wasn't the Palm Springs scumbag also an early release?

This is what happens when a society is more concerned with the rights of criminals than the rights of everyone else.

Of course, nobody will protest the slaughter of this officer, but just wait until the next time an officer uses deadly force against a minority.

Looking at the picture of the guy being loaded into the ambulance I have only two thoughts.

I hope it hurts.

I hope there was no pothole repair on the trip to the hospital.

Four police officers killed in recent months by violent criminals with long records who were paroled.

The sheriff's deputy in Lancaster, the two officers in Palm Springs, and now this one.

Stopping to investigate an accident. Wow!

He'll get his rights honored while the officer's family goes through a living hell. They'll patch him up in the hospital, get him a team of public defenders, and he'll be a big shot in prison for killing a cop. Three squares a day, cable TV, exercise, free medical and dental care, and legal appeals for the next four decades. He'll be an old man before he even comes close to his execution date.

Some things are just plain wrong.

This is what California voters wanted.

...and the amazing thing is, these propositions passed by comfortable margins.

Sick and disgusting.

The next ones proposed will release more and they will still pass

That is because the electorate is comprised substantially of brain dead liberals and uneducated criminals.

Fuck this state and their stupid ass voters. Non violent offenders...blah blah blah. Fuck em all. Just because a person was locked up for a non violent offense doesn't mean they are non violent. 

R.I.P to the officer. God damn shame the MSM doesn't give a shit because it doesn't involve a white cop killing a black man whose "innocent"

Yeah you'd think the LA Times would run a story about this or something

The Supreme Court deserves some of the blame.

Justice Alito said “the majority is gambling with the safety of the people of California.”

 

Cue liberals complaining Trump gets to pick the next SCJ.

Run a story? If the situation was a white cop killing a black man there would be a media shitstorm.

Created by the media or the ones reading?

I don't really understand your point here.

Ok I'll type slowly then. He complained that the MSM didn't care so I subtly pointed out that it's a MSM article that's linked.

[mtangelsfan]

No need to be that way.  It was a simple question.

[Taylor]

Very sad.

I think we all realize this story will fade away within a relatively short time, but if the obverse had happened (white cop killing black suspect), it would be front and center for months and possibly generate riots. Ferguson, Missouri ring a bell?

The MSM didn't riot. The pissed off people did. If you take to the streets I'm sure they'll cover it. I guess bitching on a baseball message board is pretty close though
