He was on probation but had failed to report to probation officer for seven months. THUG
Why should he have to report? He and many realize nothing serious will happen to them.
They don’t report to their probation officer...and nothing happens to them. What’s to lose?
I thought it might be a white Occupy type who did the shooting, because most gang-bangers aren’t very good shots and just depend on blasting out a lot of bullets in every direction. But he was clearly aiming and if he had known more about shooting and had had a more powerful weapon, he would have killed both of those cops.
