KCRA ^ | Jul 16, 2014 | Michelle Schultz

This story sure has been dropped by the media here in northern California. Nothing new this morning and the television networks aren't even reporting on let alone updating the story. No description or names given of the perpetrators? I'm thinking Mexican drug cartels and it doesn't fit the story of "children" currently flooding the southern border.

Yep. They probably got the call from Chicago the story is a no-go.

Sounds like a big story to me. And the kind the tv media love to cover.
Weird

> I don’t remember a description of the perps.

Likely it was some of those illegal immigrant children from Central America.

They would NOT want you to know that.

ABC San Francisco came out with a little more info: http://abc7news.com/news/2-suspects-1-hostage-dead-in-stockton-bank-robbery-shootout/193162/ Police say the bank has a history of being robbed and these suspects may be connected to previous robberies.

It was the second story on Good Morning America this morning and the top story on NBC’s morning show.

Your statement is simply incorrect.

Fear not. KCRA 3 Sacramento is on the case.

They were able to track down one of the relatives of the dead hostages and confirm that the police acted recklessly and had plenty of chances to stop the vehicle. Lawsuit to be filed later, no doubt.

Oh. No word on the identities of the perpetrators. Not considered newsworthy I guess.

From the number of holes in the vehicle, it appears that the cops shot at it without regard for the hostages’ safety.

So spraying bullets all over town for an hour and riddling a vehicle that holds innocent hostages ???? - standard procedure now?

I’m now for gun-control - of the cops. This is just one example of indiscriminate wild shooting by cops. One has to wonder at what kind of training now going on in law enforcement academies - and what level of intelligence being hired.

This is the truck shot up by the LAPD that was being driven by two ladies delivering newspapers during the Chris Dorner manhunt.

Why am I thinking that all three hostages will be shown to have been shot by the government?

Can't tell fur sure, but it seems to appear that's the case:

"one of the hostages was thrown from the SUV and taken to a hospital with a gunshot wound...A second hostage was later thrown from the vehicle, and officers tending to her found she had suffered a grazing bullet wound...When the shootout had ended, the third hostage was found dead in the SUV and one of the robbers was also dead. The police chief said the hostage was a bank customer, and that she appears to have been used by the suspects as a shield during the shootout. The other two hostages are Bank of the West employees."

Surviving robber, Jaime Ramos, 19. Considering the stupidity of the robbers and the excessive violence, what are the chances that they were some of our "new neighbors" from the Turd World?
