After reading multivalent grammar like that I want to throw an egg at the journalist.
He shot him with a knife?
Welcome to the LA you created, California.
May I suggest using your nightsticks, officers?
It took him two shots? Too bad! Waste of ammo!
“conduct an exhaustive investigation into a bicycle officer’s fatal shooting of a drunken day laborer”
Of course you will. It’s PC pandering at its finest.
Well, he WAS a 'bicycle officer'.
Hey at least he didn’t ask him for his immigration papers.
So was he legal or not? The stories keep saying “immigrant”.
I take that to mean “illegal” and no one wants to go there.
Hey, if he was waving a knife and refused to put it down, el tuffo stuffo. Throw all your breakfast items,, I don’t care. It doesn’t change the fact that the guy was in the wrong.
If these were tea partiers throwing eggs, they would be charged by DHS with bioterrorism. Since they’re *immigrants* the city will probably reimburse them for their groceries.
a poor neighborhood packed with recent immigrants from Central America..
Really. Let me see your papers, I will determine if you are an immigrant, or something else entirely.
surprise. surprise.
How about an conduct an exhaustive investigation into the riots?
make that...how about conducting an exhaustive investigation into the riots... *sigh*
Probably using a Glock 9mm. They should go back to using .45s. Probably would have needed only one shot.
Why do they need to “investigate” a cop shooting some punk who came at him with a knife?
I think I went to sleep and woke up in Never Never Land.
“Welcome to the LA you created, California.”
Spot on.
“It took him two shots? Too bad! Waste of ammo!”
A double tap. He might be a zombie.
Be thankful they didn’t throw rain soaked cakes with all the sweet green icing flowing down.
