Claims from a plaintiff’s attorney in a civil case? You have got to be kidding. You need to look up who their attorney is. A low life that makes Al Sharpton’s Tawana Brawley claims look credible.
Fact: Deputies are called to the scene because of a report of someone with a gun threatening people.
Fact: Dangerous neighborhood rife with dealers and gang members.
Fact Perp in gang colors.
Fact: Replica weapon modified to look like the real thing.
Fact: Deputy is an Iraq vet who has demonstrated himself under fire and has seen plenty of AKs in use.
Fact: People told Lopez the deputies were coming.
Fact, Lights and siren on. No matter what country you are from you know what that means.
Fact: The wounds are consistent with the story that Lopez spun about being hit in the side first, not his arm, indicating his arms were raise as in the firing position, then he was struck in the front as he spun. Given the rate of fire he was spinning fast.
Nothing a Civil lawyer says has to be fact. They work on perponderance of the evidence. The DA operates on reasonable doubt. Criminally, the DA did not have enough evidence to prosecute.
Fact: Kid walking into a park where the kids regularly play with toy guns.

Fact: Deputy is an Iraq vet who has never fired his weapon on duty except to shoot himself in the foot.
Fact: People told Lopez there was a police car behind him but since he was doing nothing srong and carrying nothing illegal he kept walking.
Fact: Lights and siren on. No matter what country you are from you know what that means.
It means stop and turn around and see why they are on -- which is exactly what he did. How do you think he was able to hear any command over the sirens and lights???
Fact: He was shot in the right side and right hip meaning he did not get anywhere near turned around.
10 seconds from the call to dispatch to a dead 13 year old with 7 shots in him -- Is that okay with you????
