Compton 'ambush' leaves 2 LA County sheriff's deputies...
 
.
How horrifying - sign of the times. Compton CA. Security video shows a slimeball coming right up to the passenger side of a police car, a few feet away, leveling his gun and two officers fighting for their lives. Happened early last night, Saturday.

Worse - just heard on the news a 'group of protestors' were out front of the hospital chanting "We hope you die!".

Yes this happened in the USA. OMG.

Compton 'ambush' leaves 2 LA County sheriff's deputies 'fighting for their lives'
"This was an unprovoked, cowardly act," a state lawmaker says


A manhunt was underway in California early Sunday after two Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies were shot in their patrol car Saturday by a suspect who “opened fire without warning or provocation,” authorities said.

The deputies, a 24-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman, were both in critical condition and “fighting for their lives” as they underwent surgery following the attack, which occurred around 7 p.m. local time outside a Metro rail station in Compton, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

CLEVELAND POLICE OFFICER SHOT, KILLED ; 3 SUSPECTS REPORTEDLY ARRESTED

"Moments ago, 2 of our Sheriff Deputies were shot in Compton and were transported to a local hospital," the department tweeted. "They are both still fighting for their lives, so please keep them in your thoughts and prayers."

The deputies were out of surgery by 11 p.m. PT, according to KABC-TV.

President Trump, who held a rally in Nevada on Saturday night, responded on Twitter after the sheriff's department tweeted out a grainy video that shows the suspect approaching the parked patrol vehicle and firing shots inside the vehicle's passenger-side window.

"Animals that must be hit hard!" Trump wrote, referring to criminals who target law enforcement.

What is going on is a well coordinated attack on the very foundation of America.

Those who ignore it are being naïve. Pay attention everyone. I cannot be political here and I am aware of that. So I hope that this isn't deleted.

America is under attack.

I have a Twitter account, but haven't been on it for a year+. But the article about the shooting had a Twitter link posted by the CA LEO Sheriff dept showing the security footage. I looked at a few of the Twitter postings under it - here's the latest 3>

But y’all mofos release that video quick as fuk, but not when the shoe on the other foot.

Replying to
@LASDHQ
Where is the video of what happened before this? I don't think we should prejudge this without full context. We can't rely solely on edited video that only shows the shooting. You may just be releasing the clip to inflame the public. How do we know it wasn't justified?

Replying to
@LASDHQ
If police attack us for our skin ppl will attack u for your badge.
I guess we're supposed to just die in silence without a fight.

Sick, sick people. All those who blocked the emergency room entrance should be charged with attempted murder and if any of the officers die, I sure hope not, charged with murder. We have to start showing these anti everything that the majority is just not going to stand for it anymore.

Pillowtalk 09-14-2020 04:53 AM

I believe the death penalty should be on the table again, especially for cases like this or the rape and torture of children. They are animals that need to be put down. God is not going to save them nor can he save you from them.

nick demis 09-14-2020 04:55 AM

Amazing how such a small percental of the population can cause such disruption. I hope the authorities (political and judicial) wake up before the silent giant wakes up and takes action.

camaguey48 09-14-2020 05:15 AM

The silent majority can no longer be silent. Vote like the future of our country depends on it.....because it does.

thevillagernie 09-14-2020 05:21 AM

yea,there's a lot of that going around.

Ricky Dale 09-14-2020 05:25 AM

Disgusting, and this response is typical nonsense that’s spewed on Twitter..

Chitown 09-14-2020 08:06 AM

I’ll tell you how to get the cities back under control. How do you think THE GREATEST GENERATION of WWII would have handled this? People today have to make a decision. Are we going to turn a blind eye, watch our cities burn and get destroyed by thugs who have been empowered by people in charge who let them, or do we do what we know has to be done? Let the police and the National Guard go in to these cities with force kick some but, make arrests, and restore order. And I don’t mean peaceful protesters. I’m sorry but we have been dealing with our current unrest with social worker mentality instead of brute force.

I hope they catch the scumbag who did this abominable act and puts him away, for the rest of his life. I feel the exact same way toward anyone who unjustifiably tries to murder, re: execute, another human being.

Stu from NYC 09-14-2020 10:53 AM

The shooter should get his trial and quickly executed for murder.

The people blocking access to the hospital should be arrested.

This behavior cannot be tolerated

Just for the record: "Law and Order and respect for the Police" isn't even on the top 10 lists of the "very foundation of America."

America was founded as the direct result of civil protest against the government. The "founding fathers" were all British - some from England, some from Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. Their countries had been at constant war over monarchy rule and religious persecution by their own government.

They came here to get AWAY from all that, and to create what they believed could be a utopia.

Law and Order was one of the combination of methods to firm up their ideas, but they were not one of the ideas themselves. Law and Order is a tool, nothing more or less, and if it isn't implemented efficiently, it will fail. We are seeing its failure, at the current junction of our country's ongoing history.

OrangeBlossomBaby 09-14-2020 05:26 PM

For the record: I don't support anyone who would shoot a police officer, any more than I would support a police officer who shoots someone who isn't being violent (whether with a weapon or with a drug-induced outburst). I don't support violence, period. And anyone who blocks a hospital needs to be removed from the premises. Peacefully if at all possible - cuffed and charged if necessary but without violence.

biker1 09-14-2020 05:44 PM

It looks like both officers will survive. One was shot in the jaw and the other in the forehead. I suspect neither one will recover fully but we can and should be hopeful. There is $100K available for information about the shooter. I doubt it will be very long before he is apprehended - somebody will turn him in for the money. Hopefully the justice system will make an example of him.

Anyone arrested who is on public assistance should be removed and allowed to find something productive to do with their time like get a job.

This behavior cannot be tolerated

Why weren't they arrested?

The failure of law enforcement to do their job is contributing to the outrageous lawlessness that continues to occur.

Very true, putting them in jail for a period of time will make most of them find other ways to amuse themselves

I must say, after reading this TWICE - I do not have an idea as to what point you're trying to make. USA Law & Order is right or wrong? "Not implemented efficiently...its failure" -- What do you mean???

davem4616 09-14-2020 08:45 PM

The violence in our cities needs to come to an end....peaceful protesters need to be told to go home...anyone still creating a problem needs to be dealt with quickly with an appropriate show of force and treated like the thugs that they are. No one has the right to burn, loot, throw rocks at police, destroy property and businesses and create the chaos that is going on....that is not one of our freedoms

The consequences for this type of unruly, uncivilized and dangerous behavior need to be enforced.

Where are the leaders in these cities and the religious leaders??? Why are they silent???

Here is a photo (apparently taken from a cell phone after the shooting). There are videos - taken by Compton "folks"- with audio of them laughing and saying "pigs coming home to roost". On the news, it was said that the female deputy was shot thru the jaw, but was able to radio in a "98" - officer down. And apply a turniquet to her parter - both bleeding heavily.

This topic is truly making me sick to my stomach, and so worried about our country. Expect copycats and gangs daring others to take action. They feel this is 'justified'.

One "side" keeps saying "we need to """reimagine""" how we police". This may be a start...

That's it? What about the erosion of the checks and balances built into the constitution over the past three plus years? There is no justification for what that criminal did in Compton. However, respect for law enforcement will be greatly enhanced when a greater effort is made to weed out the bad apples.

Viperguy 09-15-2020 05:18 AM

What is just as disgusting is how the media plays it. Certain outlets are quiet, doesn't fit their narrative ....just saying.

So agree. I check out about 5 major online News sites every day. I call 2 of these "Pravda" as they almost always totally favor 'one side' of the spectrum. In this horrifying case - same. A slight mention in a sub-headline for one day. BUT on the same day, and after, a large pic and long article of a 'person' who was roughed up by the police as he charged them with a weapon. No shots, but a puffy eye. As usual, demands for firing and investigation, and no doubt attorneys booked flights there. Typical Media editorial narrative and selective topics.

I always say it's no wonder some of the public view things in the way they do - due to the prism of news and opinions fed to them. Thankfully we do have some news sources that (mostly) provide a blend and somewhat "fair". For those who get 'their news' from ONLY their favored sources - it may very well be slanted. Much like Pravda in Russia and other 'State Media' in other countries.

It's called the 13/90 Club

13% of a certain population is responsible for 90% of violent crime in America.

Bay Kid 09-15-2020 07:57 AM

This is what certain groups in our country are pushing to advance their agenda.
