Two Deputies Critically Wounded After Person Opens Fire On Them As They Sat In Patrol Car
[guest post by Dana]
This happened last night around 7:00 pm:
Two Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies were critically wounded after being shot Saturday evening in Compton in what authorities described as an “ambush” that was captured on surveillance video.
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.
…
“One male deputy and one female deputy were ambushed as they sat in their patrol vehicle. Both sustained multiple gunshot wounds and are in critical condition. They are both currently undergoing surgery,” the department said in a statement.
Horribly, the report includes this detail: “at least one of the deputies was shot in the face and the other in the head”.
Here is video of the shooting. Consider yourselves warned:

Also, because we ve apparently become a country where a lot of Americans no longer have the simple goodwill or grace to extend to victims of violent crime if they are law enforcement, there was this:
From a perusal of tweets and comments left at various reports about the incident, it’s clear to see that it’s not a small number of people who believe that *all* cops are guilty, and should be treated as such. There can be no innocent cops because the system itself doesn’t allow for it. By default, if you are part of that system, you are guilty. We are thus supposed to save our sympathy and prayers for the real victims who deserve it, and that cannot include law enforcement. However, it might include the shooter, because according to any number of Americans, his crime, by default, is justified. God help us all.
Me, I’m going to pray for the victims, hope that the suspect is caught, and stay firmly planted in my corner of no man’s land where it is still possible to both loudly condemn bad behavior by law enforcement when they act with impunity against the citizenry and loudly condemn anyone who intentionally opens fire on law enforcement officers sitting in their patrol car.
A manhunt is currently underway for the suspect.

Bolivar di griz (7404b5) — 9/13/2020 @ 9:43 am@1. Indeed. Sad to say this is not a surprising development, either. PD’s across the country should be on the alert for this– events have been spiraling down toward this. Our local police changed policy over the summer and no longer patrol alone to deter. Expect more ‘copycatting.
OTOH- it was in Compton. Not exactly a Beaver Cleaver/Brady Bunch neighborhood.

I have a young friend who served as a Marine after completing his college degree. He then passed all the necessary tests and screening, and met the qualifications to get into CHP academy. He is now waiting for the academy to re-open (temporarily closed due to pandemic) and he will be on his way to a career in law enforcement. I fear for him, and what he might face. It’s a catch-22 because we desperately need law enforcement officers who are principled, operate from a fixed set of values and truly want to serve and protect, and yet too frequently, that career path just makes one a target because the individual is automatically perceived as (and frequently) treated as the enemy. The ideals or values of the individual matter not a whit. The uniform alone is what condems them.

bolivar de gris (7404b5) — 9/13/2020 @ 11:33 amThe reactions of the two presidential candidates — one normal and appropriate, the other grating, immature, and degrading of the office — are exactly what we have come to expect.
I don’t really know what to make of a country that elects someone like this — and watches him behave like this, and yet threatens to elect him again. However remote that threat might be (and it’s not remote enough), the fact that it’s a real threat says something dismal about the United States.

Sorry, I don’t agree. Your comments would be apt if the officers had been injured from a natural event, like a lightning storm or earthquake.
In this case, however, they were injured by politically inspired violence that the Democrats have been fomenting, and then trying to talk out of both sides of their mouth and condemn. I am not buying it. Biden has to forcefully reject BLM and Antifa, or he and his party (and running mate) have blood on their hands.
Trump, for his part, engages in his usual bufoonery. The real issue here is not the violence per se, but its cultivation by one party for political purposes. He needs to focus on that.
Bored Lawyer (7b72ec) — 9/13/2020 @ 11:55 amTrump is the one with blood on his hands and until my comment all the “politicizing” here was pro-Trump.

Questions for Mr. Biden:
If you are elected president, and someone tries to shoot you (like John Hinckley Jr. tried with Ronald Reagan), and the Secret Service shoots him first to prevent your assasination, is that “wrong?” Isn’t that “violence of any kind?”
How about if a cop is responding to a domestic abuse call by a woman who claims her boyfriend is beating her, and when they arrive, the boyfriend is belligerent, evades arrest, runs to a car, and appears to be pulling out a weapon? Is violence “wrong” then?
Bored Lawyer (7b72ec) — 9/13/2020 @ 12:01 pmTrump, for his part, engages in his usual bufoonery.
Will “Trump just being Trump” never get old with you people? Can’t you vary it with something like “rabies just being rabies” once in a while?
nk (1d9030) — 9/13/2020 @ 12:02 pm…..they were injured by politically inspired violence that the Democrats have been fomenting …….The real issue here is not the violence per se, but its cultivation by one party for political purposes. He needs to focus on that.
There is absolutely no evidence (unless you are hiding it) that Democratic politicians are behind this shooting or any other, aside from your partisan hatred. If any politician is cultivating the violence for political advantage, it is Trump.
Rip Murdock (24965f) — 9/13/2020 @ 12:19 pm@30 That’s nonsense. It is not a choice between thinking everything is fine and being for violence in the streets. There are a lot of people with legitimate concerns about the power of law enforcement (including many conservatives) who are not pro-riots.

This is correct, but it does not mean that suggesting that the shooter in this attack was apolitical, nor that referring to him as an “animal” wasn’t correct (if ill-spoken; I’d prefer coward, assassin, walking-dead-man, etc).

Kevin M (ab1c11) — 9/13/2020 @ 1:19 pm35. Count me among those with legitimate concerns. There are some deaths at the hands of LEO’s which are absolutely unnecessary and can be laid at the feat of a paramilitarization of law enforcement. I don’t think that has anything to do with race, but I do believe we need to get back to community policing.

DCSCA (797bc0) — 9/13/2020 @ 1:35 pm“BLM” was a movement with a simple goal: raising awareness that not everyone is treated fairly/equally by the authorities. Once it got traction, it got swamped by the scoundrels who wanted to share the spotlight.
Much the same thing happened to the Tea Party, with everyone from the libertarians to Donald Trump climbing onto the bandwagon, until it fell apart.
Don’t conflate this shooting with BLM, except that the shooter (and some morons with signs) probably thinks so. Most BLM followers are horrified.

The current D’s support BLM and Antifa and BLM/A support this violence. But we’re supposed to elect JB, KH, and more D’s to make the violence stop. I don’t know what to make of country either.
frosty (f27e97) — 9/13/2020 @ 1:49 pm@47 It certainly could have been political, it also might not have been (something about the way it looks on video seems weird). I would not say the killer was an animal. I know what he meant, but generally animals kill for food. It’s people who participate in wanton violence. It’s our own damning proclivities toward violence that are the problem here.
@49 I think when we’ve talked about it in the past, that our ideas of good policing are pretty similar.
@51 There are people who gain from fomenting violence, but it isn’t the “normal” pols on either side of the aisle. In the political realm, it is the crazies on the far end of either group. Frankly, for all the political hay making while the sun shines in the edgier regions of politics, this is a real issue for real people. Posting extremist statements to gin up controversy (I am not including your statement in this, it’s an overall judgement of what I see going on) isn’t useful for people trying to actually live in this country.

Nic (896fdf) — 9/13/2020 @ 1:57 pm56
I juess what I was trying to ask you in #57 is whether you think there’s any evidence the shooter associated himself with BLM. Assume for the sake of argument he’s a lifelong cop-hating violent criminal. Is BLM automatically saddled with him even if he might have committed the same shooting if BLM never existed? I’d say no unless he was actually active in BLM.
lurker (d8c5bc) — 9/13/2020 @ 1:57 pm59. Let me put it to you this way, Lurker: I’m not interested in being friends with anyone else who sees me as an enemy.
Gryph (f63000) — 9/13/2020 @ 1:58 pm61. If I thought that in calling themeselves “Gryph” they were slandering me, that would be one thing. But this is an internet forum that allows for a degree of anonymity, and is thusly a rather poor comparison. “BLM” is a Marxist domestic terrorism movement that is using the cloak of anonymity (as long as they don’t get caught, of course) to destroy homes, businesses, and sometimes even take lives in acts of blatant murder. I’d do everything in my power to distance myself from that, whether or not I thought “systemic racism” was actually a thing (I don’t).
Gryph (f63000) — 9/13/2020 @ 2:00 pmIt’s hard not to nod when Trump calls him an animal who must be brought down, because we saw this animal do this terrible thing. Of course the president needs to preside calmly.
It’s a bad world and we all need to pray for it.

DCSCA (797bc0) — 9/13/2020 @ 2:14 pm66. And Trump is good enough at the latter, to convince his lackies that he’s good at the former. And here we are.
Gryph (f63000) — 9/13/2020 @ 2:15 pm60.
That’s a lie. I know a lot of Democrats. Almost all of them support BLM, but not one supports Antifa or violence. And the one person I know who considers herself “Antifa-lite” (i.e., she approves of attacking property but not people), wants no more to do with Democrats than she does with Republicans. I don’t doubt there are exceptions, but Antifa-types almost unanimously vote for the Jill Steins of the world or not at all.
Saying Democrats support Antifa is much less accurate than saying Republicans support QAnon, which runs GOP supported candidates endorsed by Donald Trump. Find me an Antifa candidate running as a Democrat, much less one with Joe Biden’s endorsement.

Trump immediately jumping into killing the kid is also dumb. And yes, I know he didn’t specifically say gun this kid down in the street, but context matters, so the earlier “retribution” tweet is completely on point.

Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies arrested a public-radio reporter as she covered protests that had erupted outside a hospital where two deputies were being treated for gunshot wounds suffered Saturday evening in an “ambush” attack.
The reporter, Josie Huang, of KPCC and LAist, was taken into custody outside St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood and released hours later. She received a citation for allegedly violating the obstruction law, Penal Code section 148.
………
Video posted by ABC7 showed multiple deputies pinning Huang to the ground and handcuffing her.
“We saw one of the radio reporters that was here at the scene, she had rushed up to the police line there to see what was going on when she was suddenly taken down by the deputies,” said ABC7 reporter Leanne Suter. “We are not exactly sure what happened there, why they tackled her and put her into a patrol car, but that happened.”
Rip Murdock (24965f) — 9/13/2020 @ 2:47 pm…..
The LA County Sheriff’s deputies have been involved in several shootings over the past six months and has pretty poor community relations. They also filmed the Kobe Bryant crash site before the bodies were removed and shared them among friends, but were never punished.
There appears to be several different levels of rabid at play here.
“Death penalty for cop killers” via an entirely aspirational fast track (never going to happen no matter what Trump says or does), rabid like the people laughing at the scene and saying this is the only way to get justice, and finally rabid like the fine people who show up at the hospital. Sometimes I get Trump level rabid, I got level two rabid on 9-11 but level three seems to be shoot the dog because it is foaming mouth dangerous and crazed rabid. No I’m not saying anyone should be shot, its America and the 1st amendment allows us to act and speak foaming mouth crazy and I’m proud of it. Just wish people knew when to dial back out of decency.
I can tell this hit the host hard. I hope you can find a bit of peace, refuge somewhere today.

Colonel Klink (Ret) (305827) — 9/13/2020 @ 3:06 pmA built-in danger to ruling by passion is the belief that one’s view is the right view because of the emotion it inspires. The more passionate the individual or group, the more in the right they believe themselves to be, and stronger is the belief that they alone hold the moral high ground. The value of, and limits of law are diminished in favor of how the individual feels. Throughout the nation, these past few months, we have witnessed the effects of this sort of thinking. And in typical fashion, it demands the abandonment of any guiding principles. After its first self-indulgent temptation is given in to, it’s a dismantling down the line.

We can forgive without being asked. But you are right that one must ask for forgiveness in order to receive it – from God.

And since in those days taking out a person’s eye could very well lead to him dying from an infection, in practice it was “money for an eye”. On the other hand, a “life for a life” was interpreted as “no blood money”. Homicide could not be bought off.

DCSCA (797bc0) — 9/13/2020 @ 6:53 pmI don’t really know what to make of a country that elects someone like this — and watches him behave like this, and yet threatens to elect him again. However remote that threat might be (and it’s not remote enough), the fact that it’s a real threat says something dismal about the United States.
Both parties lost the plot somewhere around Florida 2000. They seem to have fallen into a twofold strategy: 1) Keep the upper-middle-class happy with the stock market and donating and 2) Negate anything the other party favors.
This isn’t argument any more, it’s contradiction.
Trump said he’d change that but he really hasn’t. Upper-middle-class saw their wealth double in the last 4 years, and the political warfare has been dialed up to “11”
I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again: We need a new, mainstream party in the VAST political niche left by these two blundering leviathans. California would be a good place to start as they’re is currently only one party, trying to blame so many things on the ghosts of the CA GOP. $22 billion for a train from Bakersfield to Merced, while the state burns? How do they get ANY votes?
Luckily starting a new party in CA and getting candidates on the down-ballot is EASY. Much easier than running an independent campaign. I suggest a centrist party aiming to devolve the Federal power back to the states. But whatever.

The air gap between Antifa and BLM is barely measurable to anyone not searching for it with a microscope. BLM is pro-violence. They admit this to anyone who will listen. Harris herself is on record as supporting the riots. You can support police reform and/or what BLM claims to be about and not support violence. You can’t support the BLM organization without also supporting violence.
D’s are fundraising to provide bail for rioters and looters and these riots have been destroying property and killing people for months. There have been D pols arrested for participating and/or organizing some of the BLM riots.They are being encouraged by D’s who thought they would work to their political advantage.
There is no qanon organization. There are no qanon riots destroying property or killing people.
frosty (f27e97) — 9/13/2020 @ 8:53 pmThose things actually happened down Miami way, usually prefaced by the term “Overtown Riot of 19##”. It is also a tell as to why Marco Rubio without hesitation said “Black Lives Matter” in the early part of the 2016 campaign – from 1979 to 1982, the Rubio family was living in Las Vegas (the riots were sparked by Cuban cop on american Black (as opposed to a Haitian or Islander) assailant incidents).
urbanleftbehind (5229a6) — 9/13/2020 @ 9:08 pmlurker (d8c5bc) — 9/13/2020 @ 2:25 pm
This argument highlights one of the problems we’re all trying to come to terms with. No matter what I think about qanon or antifa what Americans are supposed to do is get involved in the political process peacefully. My biggest issue with antifa is they reject representative democracy and they choose violence instead. I’d be fine with an antifa candidate. I wouldn’t vote for them, I’d speak out against them, I’d think it was a contradiction given antifa’s ideology but I wouldn’t say they didn’t have a right to run for office. BLM also rejects our current system and embraces marxism, which is also violent. But there are a lot of people (some on this blog) doing their best to ignore this violence while also suggesting that the real problem is people they really don’t like possibly getting elected.
frosty (f27e97) — 9/13/2020 @ 9:23 pmTrump says the shooting of the antifa person suspected of shooting the trump supporter by federal marshals was “retribution!” Ok remember when biden wins AOC will be giving orders on who is to be given retribution.
asset (43bcc0) — 9/14/2020 @ 12:52 amGryph asked me:
The Book of Sirach, also known as Ecclesiasticus, was written somewhere between 200 and 175 BC; I don’t think it could be called “modern feel-good pseudochristianity.”
While our Separated Brethren do not consider Sirach to be divinely inspired, all Christians accept the Gospel of St Matthew. Yesterday’s Gospel reading was Matthew 18:21-35, the parable of the unmerciful servant. The lesson is that those who are unwilling to forgive cannot expect forgiveness themselves.
Alas I am hardly a perfect Catholic! There are times I have held bitterness too closely in my heart. But forgiveness is a basic, essential part of Christianity.
The Dana in Kentucky (9f30da) — 9/14/2020 @ 5:31 am125. Right. You are forgiven by the measure with which you forgive. You are judged by the measure with which you judge. I’ve never taken that to mean “don’t judge,” but rather if I must judge, do so with temperance and mercy

nk (1d9030) — 9/14/2020 @ 6:59 amGryph 126,
I agree with your statement but I don’t think that flows from the admonitions against judging others. I think God wants us to show mercy because He wants us to love each other as He loves us.
To me, when the Bible cautions us about judging others it is talking about not judging their souls — whether they will go to heaven because they are right with God. Only God can make that call.

They went all in and so have risked their control of government in doing so.

Trump Health Aide Alleges Broad Conspiracies and Warns of Armed Revolt
……
Michael Caputo, 58, the assistant secretary of public affairs at the Department of Health and Human Services, said without evidence that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was harboring a “resistance unit” determined to undermine President Trump.
Mr. Caputo, who has faced criticism for leading efforts to warp C.D.C. weekly bulletins to fit Mr. Trump’s pandemic narrative, suggested that he personally could be in danger.
“You understand that they’re going to have to kill me, and unfortunately, I think that’s where this is going,” Mr. Caputo, a Trump loyalist installed by the White House in April, told followers in a video he hosted live on his personal Facebook page. Mr. Caputo has 5,000 Facebook friends, and the video has been viewed more than 850 times. It has been shared by 44 followers.
…….
Mr. Caputo suggested, also without evidence, that the August killing of a Trump supporter in Portland, Ore., by an avowed supporter of the left-wing collective known as antifa was part of a broader left-wing plot to target the administration’s supporters.
…..
…..He “went down fighting,” Mr. Caputo said. “Why? Because he couldn’t say what he had inside him.” He then spoke of “hit squads being trained all over this country” — a conspiracy theory unsupported by evidence.
Mr. Caputo continued his social media effort after the Facebook event, retweeting a conspiratorial post that hinted with no evidence that armed camps were being established in Washington, D.C.: “Occupants don’t look like vagrants. Looks like forward basing for militant street ops,” J. Michael Waller, a conservative provocateur, posted.
Rip Murdock (d2a2a8) — 9/14/2020 @ 11:13 am……
He accused officials at the C.D.C. and other government agencies — including the Department of Health and Human Services — of deliberately subverting the president’s efforts to contain the pandemic. The C.D.C., he said, was riddled with anti-Trump researchers who “walk around like they are monks” and “holy men” but engage in “rotten science.”

I count maybe 7 incidents by individuals that are clearly unhinged over a 2-4 year period. The sword incident isn’t clearly related to Q. You’ve just got them side by side hoping someone will think he killed his brother because of something Q. This is really an issue with all but the sex trafficking cases, i.e. they are unstable people who also reference Q.
That is your counterbalance against riots involving thousands of people, multiple deaths, millions and possibly billons in property damage, the need to call out the national guard, targeted killings, and the VP candidate and other D pols promoting the riots, etc. over the past couple of months. This isn’t a couple of mentally unstable individuals. The BLM and Antifa people are very clear that they want to tear down “the system” and are willing to use violence for that.
I’m not sure how long it took you to come up with this list but it only highlights the problem with the “but qanon” response to BLM/Antifa violence. I could probably come up with a list of more that 7 states that have seen serious BLM/Antifa riots. But sure, keep backing the violence and comparing BLM/Antifa to qanon.

It was you who brought up Qanon, not me.

No, lurker brought it up in @68 in a comment to me @60. You came in at @161 trying to defend BLM/A violence with a “whatabout” qanon list. So, you didn’t read the thread or you’re just lying, you thought “but right wing violence” was a winner, and now you’re trying to back out sideways and stepping on a rake. It’d would have been easier to just not post.
frosty (f78232) — 9/14/2020 @ 4:10 pmThe quote at the top of my post 161 is from you, not lurker.

See your post 121 at 9/13/2020 @ 8:53 pm.
Rip Murdock (d2a2a8) — 9/14/2020 @ 4:57 pmHas QAnon mentioned the pedophile ring with which Trump is intimately familiar, and whose chief procuress he recently wished well?

The sequence is @60 from me with no qanon. @68 is lurker responding to me with a comment about qanon, aka the first mention in the chain. @121 is me responding to lurker’s @68. @161 is you joining the defense of BLM/A that lurker wisely walked away from. @168 is me responding to you. @170 is you lying. @171 is me explaining why you are at best incorrect. @172 is you doubling down and pretending the chain of comments started @121 and @173 is making me think your browser is broken or you just can’t get it to scroll back through the comments.
On what part of God’s green earth does it even matter who brought it up? You’re trying to defend them, and failing, and you want to change the subject to who brought it up first because why?
