“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.”
OK, Chief, they now have a nice shiny new pickup truck. How about their wounds suffered at the hands of your cops? What are you going to do about that? When are these two idiot LAPD cops going to have criminal charges of attempted murder filed on them? What about the other guy whose truck was shot up but didn’t get wounded? What’s going to happen to those two idiots? Inquiring minds want to know.
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.)
