Line of Duty Death ping.
FReepmail me to be added to the Line of Duty Death ping list.
Unfortunately, the CHP has not updated their uniform standards since the 1980s - modern motor officers’ gear includes a full face helmet, riding armor and these days optional ballistic armor. CHP refuses to allow officers modern protection against traffic accidents let alone projectiles. :(
No name of the killer nor picture.
Most likely an illegal or some other media-protected person.
Will at least in the above picture he has a ballistic vest on.
It all started because the Officer was Going to Impound his truck. If he was an Illegal Alien, the officer Violated Policy and Sanctuary laws, if he wasn’t the Officer Discriminated against him because of race or nationality, because Illegal Aliens are EXEMPT from these laws in California.
Obviously we need to take the impounding of vehicles seriously and issue a moratorium on impounding vehicles. NO Citizen should be held to a High Standard than a highly coveted illegal alien criminal invader.
BAN IMPOUNDING VEHICLES!!! It’s just too dangerous.
I wonder why he was impounding the vehicle.
Thank you, sir.
:(
Not going to post his smiling pic, but there is one at the link.
He’s white. Look on the Daily Mail.
Prayers for Officer Moye and his loved ones...
Short sentence or time off for 'good' behavior?...........
Yeah, but the ones they allow, like that one, are also ancient spec gear - Level II IIRC, IIIa at best. The former stops 9mm at best, some hot 9mm will go through. The latter will stop .44 Mag but not 5.56 or some shotgun slugs.
Many departments around here are issuing full armored (in both senses) riding suits and full face modular helmets.
Saw the perp’s pic on GMA this morning: crazy white guy............
I wonder why he wasn’t disarmed. In most police stops these days if they are going to do anything more than a ticket they frisk and often detain - especially if they know it is a felon they are dealing with.
Yep. It looks like this is a textbook case of why they have the protocols they have.

White? White White or a White Hispanic?
They wear vests under their uniform shirts. Just not heavy vests with plate pockets.
