Summary:

Answering a call in Davis, Calif. to respond to an accident last night, Officer Natalie Corona, 22, who was on the job just TWO WEEKS, responded before being shot dead by a now-dead suspect only described as white.

Very sad. So young.

But why is a 22-year-old woman answering police calls on her own? That’s incredibly young to be given the authority of patrolling the streets. Even a male officer should have a partner at that age. Too much can go wrong because they lack experience and they lack street smarts. That’s why you put them in two-person teams in the beginning.

"What kind of US flag is that? Serious question."

I was wondering that also. I see the black and white flags on car windows now and then but never the blue stripe.

Maybe represents "the thin blue line" ?

Growing up , I was taught there were strict rules for respecting the flag, and any such alterations were a form of disrespect.

but then again most of the foundations of society have been undermined or desecrated so nothing is surprising

RIP officer.

Davis is strictly a college and ag town, not super large, very quiet.

I figure there’s a little complacency, maybe.

People almost never get killed in Davis, it’s the home of UC Davis, famous for veterinary stuff.

I wonder if she realized she was going into combat, or if she thought it was just another job.

So sad Rest in Peace brave one

Sorry this happened but... It looks like we are being patrolled by skinny 100 pound pretty girls?

[gaijin]

Could be a crazy honky tweaker, yes.

But it’s verrrry common in Calif. for traffic accident perps to run because many believe they’ll be deported.

If instead it was an illegal with criminal warrants..?

You might see something like THIS play out.

Prayers...….what is that Flag?

Further searches found the same flag claiming two meanings - “Blue Lives Matter” and “The Thin Blue Line”:

https://www.amazon.com/Thin-Blue-Line-American-Flag/dp/B0120XPQ3A
“The Meaning of the Thin Blue Line Flag: The Blue represents the officer and the courage they find deep inside when faced with unbelievable odds. The Black background was designed as a constant reminder of our fallen brother and sister officers. ... Honor our Men and Women of Law Enforcement with this Thin Blue Line Flag.”

I don’t know which side was first and which hijacked the other’s idea. I apologize for initially posting without checking in more detail.

From google search "is hispanic white"

"In the United States, a White Hispanic is an American citizen or resident who is racially white and of Hispanic descent. The term white, itself an official U.S. racial ..."

could you imagine if this was another border hopper ?

“Growing up , I was taught there were strict rules for respecting the flag, and any such alterations were a form of disrespect. “

That’s actually not the rule.

If the item started its life as a flag and it is altered, that is a violation of the flag code.

If the item started off as something different — i.e. originally black and white with a blue line, it doesn’t violate the rule.

Subtle, but important, distinction.

Cop flag...Thin Blue Line.

My NYPD son has it on the back of his vehicle.

[robowombat]

Thanks. Very complex indeed.

Her dad was a 26-year veteran so I’m pretty sure she had a good idea what she was in for.

[Ann Archy]

THANKS!

could you imagine if this was another border hopper ?

Exactly what I'm thinking.

1. Indian family man cop in Fresno, Calif (just two hours south of Davis) killed by an illegal just last week, mentioned by Trump.

2. Noisy hordes of illegals now encampled juuuust across the border from San Diego

3. Now THIS

It would really, realllllly make sense for them to cover up about the exact details of the perp.

ABSOLUTELY could turn out to be a real white guy, but, uh....I have my doubts.

I was thinking more like white Hispanic George Zimmerman.

Yes, she’s dead, and nothing will bring her back. That said, WTF is wrong with her department putting her out alone? There needs to be some serious questions asked of the chief, and the city council.
