Two women who were shot by Los Angeles police in Torrance early Thursday during a massive manhunt for an ex-LAPD officer were delivering newspapers, sources said.

The women, shot in the 19500 block of Redbeam Avenue, were taken to area hospitals, Torrance police Lt. Devin Chase said. They were not identified. One was shot in the hand and the other in the back, according to Jesse Escochea, who captured video of the victims being treated. It was not immediately known what newspapers the women were delivering...

One of them may never be able to. She was shot in the back, so it depends on what was hit.

If I lived there and owned a Black Nisson I’d be ridin’ the bus. These cops seem to want to shoot a bunch of trucks hoping they’ll get him.

She apparently was able to get on the stretcher face down. They did not put her on a back board. I think she was hit in the butt.

In the eyes of the benevolent state, they do.

"I once learned from a wise man that when someone is mean to you in an interaction and it hurts and you take in anger and resentment about it, you have taken their error or corrupt personality inside yourself and used it against yourself by holding it to you with anger and resentment. Meanness belongs to them - not you"

Excellent post Sara and very wise advise. Thanks for the background info on the crazy ex-cop.

I've been dealing with ill children (not serious) all day so I just got to your reply

Yes, they do. Full auto guns are Personal Defense Weapons in the hands of FedMob bureaucrats.

Or perhaps the officers, out of their salaries, should pay for one rifle and one handgun for each citizen of Los Angeles.

I suspect the LAPDs over-eagerness to attack and terrorize the local citizenry will dissipate in direct proportion to the percentage of the local citizenry who are armed.

[Altariel]

Indeed.

This could easily be used as an “excuse” to “justify” “oopsies” regarding dead conservatives.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the more wicked are using this as a test case: if LAPD gets away with it, they think they will too.

Remain inside until we determine it is safe for US.

But apparently the police thought it was a Grey Nissan Titan...

Of COURSE!

After all; they all look the same to ME!

[Elsie]

Can you teach your analysis to more FREEPERS?

The one’s we have mindreading now are doing a crummy job of it.

[Elsie]

How are they going to react when they start disarming people and dozens or hundreds are hunting them?

What's the next address on our list?

2314 Main Street, Sir.

Ok; here we are; hose it down!

[Elsie]

... hose it down!

Yep! Both vehicles had four tires and a steering wheel. Close enough for me. hell, even the occupants mached the description close enough. Each had one head, two eyeballs, one nose, and one mouth. And last but not least, he could have changed from one man to two women. That is close enough to take to the bank every time. And besides, if things go south, what is two women? If a private citizen did one theth that much, they could forget ever getting out of prison.
