Two L.A. County sheriff’s deputies shot, critically wounded in Compton

The thing I’d like to know is where is the outrage from the media? Why is this not being covered properly? I hope this doesn’t get swept under the rug like most crimes like these do these days by mainstream media. So two Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies were critically wounded after being shot Saturday evening in Compton California in what authorities described as an “ambush” that was captured on surveillance video. Folks I’ve lived in Compton as a kid, and that area has always been a haven for gangs, crime, poverty, and ironically enough! Mostly been if not always been ran by SOCIALIST DemocRATS! This is sickening… The video, released by the department, shows a man walking up to the deputies’ parked patrol car, pulling out a gun and firing several times into the front seat area from the passenger side. The assailant is then seen running from the scene. I bet he’s going to claim he didn’t do it when they catch his ass. Stupid motherfucker I’m happy we got video cams EVERYWHERE these days. The department later said both were out of surgery. Law enforcement sources told The Times at least one of the deputies was shot in the face and the other in the head.

Speaking at a news conference at the hospital late Saturday, Sheriff Alex Villanueva described one of the injured deputies as a 31-year-old mother of a 6-year-old boy and the other as a 24-year-old man. He said both deputies were sworn into office just 14 months ago.

“The two deputies were ambushed by a gunman in a cowardly fashion,” he said. “This is a dangerous job.” He noted that sheriff’s detectives on Thursday shot and killed a man in Compton who they said opened fire on them as they served a search warrant. “Every week across the nation someone is losing their life in the line of duty,” he said. “This is just another grim reminder of that.”

Assemblyman Reggie Jones-Sawyer (D-South Los Angeles), also spoke at the news conference. “This was an unprovoked cowardly act,” he said. “The individual will be caught, and justice will prevail.” “Tonight we must as a community condemn the act of the perpetrator,” he added. “More importantly we must come together and pray for the officers because they are heroes.” LAPD Chief Michael Moore also offered his support. No further details were immediately available, and it was unclear whether detectives had identified a suspect. The FBI is assisting in the investigation.

“Tonight we pray for these two guardians to survive,” the chief tweeted. “I recognize and acknowledge we live in troubled times. But we must as a community work thru our differences while loudly and resoundly condemn violence. Blessed are the Peacemakers.”

Some local law enforcement officers took to social media to express their anger and disgust over the shooting. “I hope this monster is caught soon,” LAPD Capt. Gisselle Espinoza tweeted. “I’m sick to my stomach. The deputies are in my prayers. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.” Both of the deputies were members of the sheriff’s transportation detail.

Metro has split policing duties of its 1,433-mile service area — including 93 rail stations and nearly 14,000 bus stops — among three agencies: the Los Angeles Police Department, which patrols buses, trains and stations in the city of L.A.; the Long Beach police, who work at eight Blue Line stations; and the Sheriff’s Department, which patrols the rest of the system.

This summer, the Metro board approved a series of policing reform measures, including no longer sending armed officers to respond to nonviolent crimes, hiring unarmed ambassadors to work at stations and expanding fare discounts.

KTLA shows cop striking man repeatedly in Boyle Heights

Shocking video showing LAPD officer striking man repeatedly in Boyle Heights, prompting investigation, and when you see this video folks it is shocking as all hell. This video shows clearly a couple of on duty cops arresting a man, and then from nowhere one of the arresting officers starts beating the holy hell out of the man. One thing tho. The entire time the office had his mask on. So much for social distancing since he went full MMA on the guy. The officer in question beats the man who at no point strikes him back or resists, and to me the officer belongs in prison himself for this. He should be charged, arrested beat up in prison hopefully raped repeatedly, and come out a brand new woman.

LAPD did announce that an investigation would follow on Monday after they got wind of the footage. The video was taken in Boyle Heights… The incident happened on April 27 in the 2400 block of Houston Street, near Soto Street, according to the Police Department.

A video apparently recorded by a bystander from across the street as you can see shows two officers, one male and one female, detaining a man on a sidewalk by a church. The initial verbal exchange between the man and the male officer is unclear, but the officer begins striking the man at least nine times in the head, from behind, while screaming expletives like a coward. The man crouched down as he asked the officer, “What is wrong with you?” The attack lasted about 20 seconds, video shows.

The female officer at first stood behind, then apparently placed her hand on her partner’s arm before he could throw another punch trying to stop but not putting much effort into it as shown. Probably because A she didn’t care too, and B because she couldn’t physically do it.

The Police Department officials said they learned about the “disturbing video” the day the incident happened, and that the agency “took immediate action.” By sending the cop home, and not charging him on the spot. Well talk about whats the most disturbing part huh?

According to LAPD, the two officers responded to the scene after receiving a call about a trespasser. They identified the man as the perpetrator and asked him to leave the property, police said.

LAPD did not say what may have triggered the attack by the officer on the man, only stating that a “physical altercation occurred” between the trespassing suspect and the officer.

The officer sustained minor injuries to his hand, while the suspect suffered abrasions to his head and face, LAPD said. The man refused medical care, according to police.

As seen in the video, additional officers arrived at the scene, and did nothing but arrested the victim, and as we now know it was a member of the community provided a cellphone recording of the exchange to a responding supervisor, LAPD said. A review of that footage, as well police bodycam video, prompted an internal investigation, the agency said.

Meanwhile, the trespassing suspect has been released from LAPD’s Hollenbeck station. “While we are withholding judgment on the actions of the involved officer at this time, the officer has been assigned home pending further investigation,” the LAPD said in a statement.

The L.A. County District Attorney’s Office, which will monitor the internal probe and LAPD have yet to release the identity of the officer and civilian involved.
