DISARM LAW ENFORCEMENT NOW!!
A drunken federal agent was arrested in Burbank after allegedly pulling out a handgun and telling someone to follow him early Wednesday.
Officers responded to a report of a person brandishing a gun around 12:30 a.m. in the 300 block of East Santa Anita Avenue, according to a news release from the Burbank Police Department.
The victim told police that they were ordered by a “very” intoxicated man armed with a gun to follow him. After following the man for a short period, the victim ran away and was able to escape, officials said.
Police searched the area and found Andrew Leconte around 1 a.m. near San Fernando Boulevard and Angeleno Avenue, less than one mile away.
Investigators later learned that Leconte is an agent with the United States Marshals Service.
Leconte was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and brandishing a firearm, police said. Burbank police were investigating the incident.
How much time will Marshal Dillon there have to do? It better be plenty. No probation for gun-slinging drunks, damnit! Law enforcement officers who violate America's laws should be locked up & the key thrown away. Maximum sentence, no parole. There are no excuses for these bastards.
Part II (mins. later):
A man who’d been in charge of upholding the law for three decades is now accused of breaking it. Richmond police arrested an off-duty Walnut Creek Police Officer for allegedly donning a mask and beating a woman with a baseball bat on August 16. The attack happened around 2 a.m., in a residential neighborhood on Clinton and San Pablo avenues in Richmond.
53-year-old Gregory Thompson has been with the Walnut Creek Police Department for 30 years. He was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and felony vandalism after the attack.
Neighbors on Clinton Avenue recalled the commotion they heard the morning of the attack, around 2 a.m..
“We'd already gone to bed, kept hearing a banging, thumping noise,” neighbor Carus Culver, said.
Richmond police came to the area after getting several calls from neighbors about a woman screaming
“Police came knocking on our doors,” neighbor Jason Peneyra, said. “They were looking for a suspect.”
That suspect turned out to be Thompson.
“A woman came down the street yelling that he had tried to attack her and another woman,” Culver recalled.
Richmond police found Thompson sitting in his car nearby and said he identified himself as a law enforcement officer. Investigators found a mask on the floor of his car and a baseball bat in the trunk.
“It's alarming for a police officer to do that,” Peneyra said. “That's weird. That's really weird.”
Richmond police said the victim didn't know Thompson. She just happened to wander into the neighborhood after her car ran out of gas.
“We don't have a motive in this case, but we're looking at the possibility this was mistaken identity, or someone else was supposed to be targeted. We just don't know,” Richmond Police Capt. Bisa French, said.
Neighbors told us a vacant home near where the attack happened belonged to Thompson's parents. Neighbors had noticed minor vandalism, like broken windows, in the home in the past couple months.
Culver wondered if Thompson had been on the lookout for vandals the night of the attack, but said even if that had been the case, “You call the police, you don't take matters into your own hands and act violently.”
But that is exactly what the police do, virtually every time. Even if it's in another dep't.'s jurisdiction. Mr. Culver must live in a very sheltered environment, or else he is an ignorant & gullible moron like the rest of America's sheep. Fuck him & fuck the police.
No one answered the door at a home listed in Thompson's name in Martinez. Thompson was released on bail earlier this month. Walnut Creek police said Thompson has been taken off patrol and will remain on paid administrative leave during a criminal and internal investigation.
Richmond police said there was another woman who tried to intervene in the attack and may have also been injured by the baseball bat, but they haven't been able to find her. The only known victim went to the hospital for treatment of her injuries after the attack that night, but French said the woman's injuries were non-life-threatening and she is expected to fully recover.
Thirty yrs. of being a pig, thirty yrs. in prison for being a pig. Sounds fair to this reporter.
