A mother and daughter newspaper delivery team who were mistakenly shot by Los Angeles police hunting for a fugitive former cop will get a new pickup truck courtesy of the department.

LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith says the department's Chief Charlie Beck met with the women in their Torrance home Saturday to apologize and tell them he had arranged for someone to donate a new pickup truck.

The truck will be donated early this week, Smith said...

Oh, I think they’re gonna get a hell of a lot more than a damned new truck! I think they own that police department and the city that runs it, myself.

These officers attempted MURDER! Making matters even worse, it was attempted MURDER of two completely innocent people.
That city doesn’t have enough money for the award I would give them if I were on the jury.

Good thing that police are generally such lousy marksmen.

There is another story that police also shot up some surfer dude’s pickup in a second case of mistaken identity.

It looks like moat citizens of Southern Cal have more to fear from teh police than from Christopher Dorner.

Had it been me, I would be demanding that the LAPD come out loud and strong against gun control! Especially since they just proved that guns in the hands of the police are not going to protect you!

Preach against gun control or I take you to the cleaners!

No they won’t. They will probably get a medal and hazard pay. We live in a brave new world.

A free truck!!! Wow!! Just wait until the lawyers get involved.

Yep - free trucks for life, free house, free gas, free trips and vacations. I expect they will try to have her sign a release as a condition to taking the bribe - hope she has already retained a lawyer.

Nothing said about the women signing a no-sue declaration in return for the freebie truck.

If they settled for that....talk about giving away a couple million in return for a mess of pottage....or, in this case, a mess of coppage.

They are on leave right now pending the investigation.

Or they might be still on duty because of the threat, but getting coffee for others.

Either way, those guys are going to be laying low till the circus calms down.

“he had arranged for someone to donate a new pickup truck. “

I wonder what kind of dirty deal the cops pulled there, to get someone to donate a new pickup truck?

In a further update to the two Hispanic women delivering LAT newspapers in the blue pickup, it now appears that there were SEVEN cops of the LAPD shooting at them. How Margie Carranza, 47, and her mother, Emma Hernandez, 71, survived a hail of gunfire is nothing more than miraculous. (Estimates were of over 40 rounds fired.) Margie Carranza suffered glass cuts, but her mother, Emma Hernandez, was hit twice in the back. She’s expected to recover. People in the neighborhood are rightly upset by the bullet holes in their cars and homes. (Fortunately there were no other casualties.)

I'd tell them to stuff it and drive the bullet-ridden truck with a logo on the back: "PROTECTED AND SERVED"

That and about a trillion dollars from their lawsuit.

To shoot at a CAR that LOOKS like the murderers, is downright panicky and cowardly. Where is the bold courage of these officers? I think the police chief should call out this guy and tell him on TV that he is a coward, shooting innocents, and come out and face someone like a man...pissant coward. That is what he should do, provoke the man to make an emotional error so they can get him.

I had precisely the same thought. Continue to drive it till the wheels finally fall off, with appropriate signage of course.

I have a funny feeling that the mysterious “Donor” might be the LAPD Impoundment lot. Chances are it was seized in a drug bust. Hopefully it won’t come with it’s own bullet holes and blood stains...
