..That should square things up, nicely... No hard feelings Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck will provide a new truck to two women injured by officers in pursuit of fugitive ex-cop Christopher Jordan Dorner, a police spokesman said Saturday. Margie Carranza, 47, and her mother, Emma Hernandez, 71, were delivering newspapers in Torrance early Thursday when LAPD officers riddled their blue Toyota Tacoma with bullets. Hernandez was shot twice in the back, and Carranza sustained minor injuries from broken glass. Beck has called the incident “a tragic misinterpretation” by officers working under "incredible tension” hours after Dorner allegedly shot three police officers, one fatally. At the time, Dorner was believed to be driving a gray Nissan Titan. Hernandez has been released from the hospital and is recuperating at home. Cmdr. Andrew Smith said he and Beck met separately with the two women Saturday. The truck will be purchased using money from donors, Smith said. The action does not necessarily preclude a lawsuit from the women or a settlement. The women's attorney, Glen T. Jonas, said, "The family appreciates that Chief Beck apologized on behalf of the LAPD." http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2013/02/lapd-will-provide-new-truck.html
You mean the Toyota Tacoma they shot to shit while on stake out for a Nissan Frontier? You need to read this link... all of you that click this thread. http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=217285 I know I hawk the guy pretty hard... the reason why is because more often than not, he's dead on. There's a lot more that reads in to this story than just some loose nut job. Whether you consider Rambro's agenda legit or not, it speaks volumes to the issues that confront this country regarding gun control, your trust in the state, and how detached those who you think are employed to defend you actually give a shit about you. May you live in interesting times, indeed.
No, but I bet they'll get one of those "lifetime immunity from traffic tickets" cards that's often mentioned in legend & folklore
Obviously, they couldn't see inside the truck as it was rolling up on them (since it was in the middle of the night).... I'd imagine as it usually happens, one guy starts shooting, and the other cops instinctively just open up as soon as they hear gunfire...
You know, I'm surprised they don't give their drivers some type of signage to indicate that they do work for the Newspaper company .... To make a few extra bucks during my first year of college, I threw the Wall Street Journal 5 days a week, from about 1am to 4am ...And, there literally wasn't a week that went by that I didn't get pulled over by the cops at least twice because I looked suspicious as I drove through the neighborhoods... That was a friggin hassle
Because I dealt with the dogs blown out asshole as it was happening, and took him to the vet, it's doing fine. Completely healed. I takes care of my animals. He went in the other room, while looking back at me with the 'WTF' did you just do look.
