Los Angeles Police Caught in Two Officer Involved Shootings Injuring 2 Women Delivering Newspapers
The Guardian Express ^ | February 7, 2013

It doesn’t get any messier as Los Angeles police officers, involved in a statewide manhunt for an ex-LAPD colleague, came across vehicles matching the one sought by authorities in massive manhunt at two separate locations.

The first location in Torrance involved Los Angeles police detectives from the Hollywood division, who got caught up in an officer involved shooting, which resulted in gunfire injuring two women that had been delivering newspapers. They have since been transported to an area hospital.

The incident took place at approximately 5:20 a.m. in the 19500 block of Redbeam Avenue according to sources. The extent of their injures has not been made public.

The second incident involved Torrance police, and occurred at Flagler Lane and Beryl Street at approximately 5:45 a.m. No injuries were reported in that incident.

I was gonna ask...were their most serious injuries from gunshot wounds or from being trampled on by every card carrying shyster in L.A. looking for 33.333% of their "pain and suffering"?

In my best Johnnie Cochran...If the bullet done strayed, I must get paid!

There were two separate incidences. The two women and also some guy that was not hurt. No word on what he was driving or how many times they shot.

They are gonna be very wealthy very soon..........

Every one of those cops involved should have their badge taken away and be fired. Even go to jail.

I just read about a Utah resident arrested and charged, for shooting a couple shots at the burglar's car when the burglars were fleeing his driveway after breaking in. He didn't shoot to harm the burglars, just to shoot at their tires. So the cops jailed him. According to Layton Police Lt. Shawn Horton, "There is a responsibility of owning a gun: you need to know when you can lawfully use your weapon," Horton said. "You're not authorized to shoot a firearm at a car just because you don't want it to get away, or to scare them, or disable a tire."

Those LAPD cops almost murdered two innocent women in a truck, they weren't trying to shoot out tires. Both women were wounded, from numerous rounds fired into the vehicle. Those cops are reckless and should be fired. Cops should be held to a higher standard or get fired.

Reasoned, rational, professional responses by prime examples of LA's finest.

Superior marksmanship with the entire fifty round fired as well.

We need a band and a parade.

The LAPD is making the Keystone Kops look like Seal Team 6.

"These cops are reckless and should be fired."

In a just world, they would be tried, found guilty and shot.

Reminds me of a joke I heard a comedian (in an LA club) tell describing standard LAPD procedure in warning a suspect to stop.

"Booom .... Halt!"

That police force has been rogue and a disgrace to their uniforms for a long time. Dragnet was pure PR.

I think we have all poked a little fun at the LAPD over their ATF, Keystone Kops approach here, but something suddenly dawned on me. I believe the cop on the street has orders to not take Dorner alive. I really wonder if there is something they, meaning the brass and politicos do not want out.
Why would they unload not only on these two women, but who was responsible for the “burning truck”.

I think Christopher Dorner is a dead man and we will never get the real story.

Why do they think they need to just start shooting?

If this guy knows about police corruption, they may want to guarantee that he doesn't survive capture.

Too risky...if it’s him he might get off the first shot.

No question - they plan to assassinate him so he can’t talk.

The world is not the way we were taught when we were growing up. Politicians, priests, newspaper reporters, police - the list gets longer.

**Heck, I didn’t even know they shot at someone else.**

Go tp the link below and see the two pics at post 39 for both pickups that were “shot up” by the PD.

If ever there were a job for a drone in civilian LE’s hands, this is it. Bring the Police State.
