Abel Esquivel, 22, was killed during a robbery Aug. 15 as he walked to his mother’s house after working a late shift at a grocery store. He volunteered at the Central American Resource Center, which provides legal help to low-income Latino clients and other social services.

The family’s claim was filed at City Hall and seeks unspecified damages. It alleges that the off-duty officer’s loaded gun was left unattended in a private car rather than stored in a lockbox in the trunk.

Don’t even try to figure it out.

It’ll just make your head hurt.

I heard they are going to charge the car that had the gun for conspiracy too.

"...brought to the scene by a SUV..."


Driven on a ROAD.
President 0bama chastised us they society didn’t build the roads, government did.
They are essentially indicating that President 0bama was indirectly involved.

Only highly trained polices should be allowed to have guns. /S

What? You never watched THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO or QUINCY, M.E. in which guns escape their owners and go on a killing rampage till captured and melted down into sewer covers?

As Dr Quincy said...”WE’VE GOT TO STOP IT BEFORE IT KILLS AGAIN!”

"an 18-year-old facing deportation who was wearing a monitoring device so federal immigration authorities could track him."

Just wonderful, while he was running around loose instead of being deported he took part in this murder. Thanks, San Francisco! Thanks, liberals!
