Officers Juanita Davila and Toamalama Scanlan

I don't need to read the report. He's a convicted rapist, right? So they put two females in charge of him. And since they're women, he had not trouble taking the sidearm from one of them. And he opens up on them.

It seems to me every time I read about a courtroom or jailhouse shooting of an officer, that's what happened. Unless they only hire female Olympic judo experts--who get better job offers than that--what do they expect? Girls and middle-aged women guarding hard-core felons. What could go wrong?

The Brian Gene Nichols shooting spree started when he attacked the female sheriff's deputy who had charge of him. After he took her weapon, he beat her into a coma.

He then proceeded to murder four people, including the Judge who was going to preside over his trial for rape, kidnapping, and assault. He also murdered the court reporter and two other LEOs.

You got the rapist part right, but one of the officers was a male.

"Neither Davila nor Scanlan were armed – as is practice, the sheriff said. Davila, a mother and grandmother, has 18 years of experience. Scanlan, a father of six, had 10 years of experience in Fresno County and previously worked in youth corrections, she said."

Perp was not in custody at the jail...just came in the front door to “visit” someone...with his own gun.

But asians don’t commit crimes. They are model citizens. They go to Harvard. They have high SAT scores.
