A shooting and stabbing on CAVALLO? Really? I am SHOCKED! Totally shocked! Nothing like that ever happens there!
Let me guess, an inspiring rapper?
No just a father taking away from his kids
The cops should have video it’s on the pole. Should share so public can see what happens on our streets. Fund police, blue lives matter.
No such thing as a blue life…
Cops ARE funded. Just take away their military gear and do some actual community policing. Coffee with the cops is nice, but how about a beat? Remember those?
Really……Takeaway their ability to fight fire with fire? Are you going to go to the criminals and ask them to carry wrist rockets and put away their assault weapons? Many of the community policing actions available will only be embraced and attended by law abiding citizens, unsure how that would keep thugs from stabbing and shooting each other? How many criminals do you think would show up to have coffee with a cop? Sorry, wish it were but this isn’t old world anymore pops.
No! Add MORE military gear! That corner of East 18th and Cavallo is a troubled venue. The liquor store attracts all sorts of scumbags, drug dealers and other vermin. The City should declare it a nuisance and shut it down!
Why take away their military gear? I say, add to it! Did you ever watch that B of A bank robbery online in North Hollywood in 1998 where the police were totally outgunned? You should watch it. It’s all on YouTube. The police should have state-of-the-art weapons with real STOPPING POWER!
Hmmm and they say dont take a knife to a gun fight!! I guess that aint true
I was thinking the same thing. Wonder if he will face charges?
Black lives matter maybe they should stop killing each other. I guess it only matters if your a police officer
