LAPD Killing of Hostages is Reprehensible. Watch the Bodycam video!

Los Angeles, CA--LAPD Public relations people are spinning like a top to somehow sanitize their killing of a hostage.  Frankly they should have incapacitated or shot the offender dead before he was able to grab his innocent hostage.  Officers managed to actually kill the hostage with two misplaced rounds.  

The offender, a career piece of shit, deserved his fate. Could this be the result of cops being fearful of Leftist and minority political retaliation?  Did they wait until the situation was even more dire and out of control before they shot this bastard?  The LAPD officer's Marksmanship is way over-rated in movies and television!  Additional police training cost money that the Democratic City Administration would rather waste elsewhere instead.

Paul being former LAPD, I've always been displeased with their policies and expectations on less than lethal force. I wrote some remarks about this as well (revised this morning) https://www.theexpositor.tv/blog/graphic-video-of-officer-involved-shooting-lapd-van-nuys-division-suspect-holds-woman-hostage-slashes-her-throat-police-shoot-both-the-suspect-victim-critical-incident-nrf040-18/

Not a clear shot, they should never have taken it. He did not attack them rather he grabbed that woman . A police or police(plural) should have charged him and removed the the victim from his grasp, then done whatever was necessary. Yea , some might have been injured , but sizing up the guy up and that non-pointed, serrated steak knife he had, not a problem to me , perhaps I am a far tougher dude than they were. Several police could have quickly disarmed him knife to hand/batons/tasers/etc combat, and arrested or executed him if he continued to fight in short order.

quite obvious these cops were far more interested in their own safety rather than public safety. Should be out of a job for being scared of getting cut over and instead of executing a bystander rather than trying to rescue her.

Beanbag rounds, tazers, OC spray. All non-lethal types of force should not be used against a person armed with a deadly weapon. A knife really is a deadly weapon despite what all the Monday morning quarterbacks think. I think the Ferguson Effect occurred in this incident. This is a consequence of the leftists thinking they know how to police better than the police. Lefties got what they vote for and still complain.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
