San Antonio, Texas' top police official turned to social media on Friday and questioned how a repeat offender with a long rap sheet could walk freely and shoot two officers.
At about 5 p.m. Thursday, two San Antonio Police Department officers responded to the area of a wanted suspect who left his apartment complex with a long gun before getting into a vehicle being driven by an unidentified person.
San Antonio Police Department Chief Bill McManus said the suspect, later identified as Jesse Garcia, saw police behind them and started shooting, hitting one of the officers.
The duo then carjacked a different vehicle and fled to another apartment complex before shooting and wounding a second officer multiple times, the chief added.
Garcia barricaded himself in the apartment complex and was eventually taken into custody.
"One of the concerning aspects surrounding the shooting of our [officers] last night…the [suspect] was out on 2 bonds for almost a [year], despite committing more crimes & being re-arrested & wanted on 3 [different] warrants," McManus posted to X the next morning. "Why wasn’t he in jail? Why weren’t his bonds increased? People want to know."

He's asking the question like he's surprised about it. He should have just laid it all out there, saying that the city's policies have finally caught up with them.

He wasn’t in jail because of the left’s “Decrease in Violent Crime” program. The retarded politicians have learned that if you don’t investigate crimes, a decrease in crime occurs because there is not a report showing a crime had been committed.
Liberal judges.
