Valencia County Sheriff's Security Bureaucrat Deputy Chris Trujillo said, "We rely heavily upon our citizens, our residents of the county to report crimes to us.(The people know where the crime is and are there first. We're out writing tickets for revenue ) We never want them to approach these individuals, or get within close contact ( We want you to be passive tax extracted sheeple )where something like this could occur.( You are taking away our reason for existence. If people man up and start guarding their property, crime would drop and there would be no need for my friends and fellow union members and we would have to work in the dreaded private sector( DPS ) where we no longer have the skills of industry, attention to detail..."

Why not wait untill all the evidence is presented before you start bashing the cops?

We do not know the evidence involved. THAT will determine what happened and how, and who warrants arrest.

Most departments don't want civilians to get too involved in property crimes for a few reasons.

An officer arrving onto the scene has no idea who is fish or fowl, and the wrong one could get shot.

An officer arriving onto the scene could be in danger of being shot.

Now, if the evidence shows the assault on the Marine justified the shooting, it will come out that way. If there was evidence shows something else, then the Marine is in deep doo-doo, regardless of his service. And his friends statements about bashing in windows and only defending himself means absolutely zilch if he wasn't in the vehicle at the time.

Valencia County is not the largest in the state, but it has a lot of rural areas to patrol. That plus a holiday weekend limits deputy coverage.
