Monday's Local Police Murder Today

Wild wild West Hollywood:

Winkler was shot when he rushed out of the apartment with another victim who had been trapped inside the apartment with a third victim and the suspect, sheriff's officials said in a statement.

“The apartment door suddenly opened and a male victim came rushing out,” the statement said. “He was covered in blood and bleeding profusely from the neck. Simultaneously, victim Winkler ran out of the door, lunging at the back of the fleeing victim. Both ran directly at the deputies.”

Kids, the police officer or deputy is your friend. If you're in trouble & you see a policeman or deputy immediately run to him or her for help. (Uh, unless the bloodlust has already blinded them & they're emptying their 20-round magazines at anything that moves, which does seem to be the official/actual police response, no matter how many times they show their bullshit urban combat training course w/ the pop-up bad guy/good guy targets to idiot reporters whose chicken-shit editors won't let them call this murder.)

Three deputies fired at Winkler. He was shot once and died.

At least they didn't miss the stabbing victim. How embarrassing would that have been?

The second man shot by deputies was taken to a hospital where he was treated for stab wounds to the neck and a gunshot wound to the leg. He is in stable condition.

How are these bastards allowed weapons?

Blah blah blah accident so sorry blah blah blah & these three pigs will not even be slapped on their wrists or itching trigger fingers. There's certainly one part of big & fascist government that is big & fascist, & that is the big & fascist part that wears uniforms & serves & protects the wealthy & their shit, while shooting the rest of us indiscriminately on the streets & in our apartment courtyards. Any outrage anywhere? Of course not.

By the effing way, glibertarian crackpots (thousands of whom visit here daily, as one might imagine) the City of West Hollywood contracts w/ a public agency, the world-famed Los Angeles County Sheriff's Dep't., who stonewalled the city before admitting to murdering one of its citizens.

West Hollywood officials said they had been inquiring about the circumstances of the shooting for several days and were stunned to get the sheriff’s statement.

“This was already a tragic situation but this makes it all the more tragic,” said Councilman Jeff Prang.]

Imagine a private contractor.

Full disclosure: This reporter has been at the business end of several laser sights held by said WeHo Sheriff's deputies, & while I was so fucking enraged at the time I didn't determine if they were tasers or certain death, I wasn't so enraged not to know they had me. (If they were tasers, are they such lousy shots they need a sighting laser on a weapon used from what, 10 ft. max? Apparently so, because, again, from nearly getting the women delivering newspapers in their pick-up to the nine innocent bystanders plugged by New York's Finest after America had driven another citizen out of his mind,

Police approached Johnson who aimed his gun at the officers before police opened fire, killing him on the spot.

The NYPD said officers fired 16 rounds with one officer shooting nine and another seven.

shoot every round you have first & ask questions later is S.O.P. for today's chicken cop.)

*Cynic's Corner: This is how we are to know this person had value & is to be missed, as opposed to a telebision flunkie. (See what altruism gets you? And from the gov't., too. Let it all be a lesson.)
