Video shows 2 deputies ambushed, shot while inside patrol vehicle in Compton; suspect at large

Whatever Biden does, it is incumbent upon him and the Democrats to make a very strong statement against this violence against police, just as they made against violence against blacks. They need to strike Trump's key appeal down at the knees. If he doesn't look for continued strengthening of Trump support amongst suburban women and white working class that are needed to win.

Oh shut up. The only people who support criminality and lawlessness are Trump and his idiotic death cult members. Descent and sane public servants don’t support violence and crime. Biden and Harris have spoken out against violence multiple times. However, no one other than idiotic Republicans would believe they support violence against police.

Meanwhile right wing extremists continue to commit violent acts. Trump continues to encourage and defend them. While Republicans are silent.

Far-Right ‘Boogaloo Boys’ Are Trying to Incite Violence at Protests

R2, live in your elitist east coast world. The rural areas, which were coming around to Biden are deathly afraid of BLM and will vote Trump just to feel safe. Absolutely no one is hearing about the right wing white extremists, because the Dems are ignoring them. Biden needs his Sister Soulja moment or he will lose. From the NYT:

I’ve heard people lay the blame on the African-American community not supporting Hillary strongly enough, but I don’t buy it,” Terry Noble, the chairman of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party’s rural caucus, told me. “Rural Pennsylvania went crazy for Trump. They literally came out of the hills.”

In the lead-up to this November’s election, there has been a focus on the suburbs. If you listen to cable news for any length of time, you’re likely to hear some pundit say, “It’s all about the suburbs.”

Mr. Trump’s 1950s-sounding appeals to “suburban housewives” — as well as his racist pitch that Mr. Biden will flood their pleasant neighborhoods with low-income housing — accentuate the feeling that the suburbs are what matters most.

But if the election is close again, rural voters — not just in Pennsylvania but in other battleground states — may decide its outcome.

Fuck off concern troll!

I hate the police. Always act like everyone is guilty and they are never wrong. Love the power and that’s why they become police. Usually stupid.

Fort Apache: the Bronx Lives!

Shooter looks/runs like a munchkin...

IN REGARDS TO Pennsylvania.. i never understood how trump won that state... what i mean is nearly the entire state's population is in philly and pittsburgh, both cities overwhelming voted democratic... so even if every single rural voter in the remainder of that state voted 100% republican and for trump how do their smaller numbers overcome the 2 big cities of philly and pittsburgh voting dems?...

PA has 3 million rural residents

The suburbs of Philly and Pitt are often quite right-wing

That's the second highest rural population after Texas.

PA has a hate for women.

R10, R11, R12... thanks for the information, i had no idea the demographics and population of Pennsylvania.... i figured 3 million and metro area in philly and pittsburgh individually or combined and NOTHING NO population in between and in the rest of the state..

If the cops find that guy he's getting killed.

[quote]Descent and sane public servants don’t support violence and crime

It's a matter of perception, not personal opinion. Mayor Wheeler of Portland run out of his home and Dem-run city leaders more worried about political fallout than public order are not optics that instill confidence. It is those optics that will spring to voter mind in November.

It has nothing to do with a summer of anticop demonstrations, riots and destruction of police stations, and calls to "defund" the police. Nothing at all.

[Quote] The protesters have been connected to the Black Lives Matter movement on Twitter but that has not been officially confirmed.

Sure, Jan

They need to enhance the video. Was he wearing shorts?

Metro area Pittsburgh is about ~2 million and most of that votes Republican. Pittsburgh makes up only about 30Ok of that 2 million.

BTW protestors are outside the hospital chanting "we hope they die". Not a good look.

Well, it was definitely planned. Nobody is wearing that many clothes in SoCal right now. There's something about the video that makes me think it's a young woman. The body shape, the stance - it doesn't look like a male.

I need a sarcasm font.

But it only goes to show what passes for reasonable argument here that someone would take me at face value.

That's exactly what I thought R22. Reminded me of the Soft Butch Sous Chef.

Apologies r23. There are nutcases here who would push exactly that line.

R24 - Bingo - I thought Soft Butch Sous Chef as well.

BLM.

That person looks like a dwarf, and I’m not sure it’s a male. Whatever it is, it’s not a strapping young male.

There was a video of protesters, looked like standard antifa, blocking and yelling at a very elderly woman with a walker. These are in part mentally ill people. But they are intentionally breaking down normal societal expectations. Protesting that you are happy a policeman is dieing, shining dangerous lasers at police, etc. They are Pol Pot, or Islamic State level of crazy sadism. It's a joy in carrying out the worse forms of violence or degradation of others. In a revolutionary state they would become guards at camps or torturers. They are associated in an increasingly large numbers of the populace with BLM. Not fair entirely but BLM as an organization has been cagey and dishonest. It is a revolutionary leftist organization. The Democratic mayor and prosecutor in Portland especially are severely hurting the national ticket. We have several months to go, everyday it gets worse despite what polls from a week ago may tell us. People lie, btw, on polls especially when supporting a right-wing candidate like Trump.

It has EVERYTHING to do with what has been going on this summer. This what happens when societies break down and people feel they can commit crimes and act violently with impunity. It just escalates until the pushback becomes exactly what you've been fighting and bitching about all along. You create the thing you oppose. Only I think there are people and movements that welcome this escalation and breakdown.

Of course Biden has to condemn this as does Harris. It doesn't matter how many times he has condemned violence generally in the past. He must continue to do it repeatedly and do it specifically for events like this. Not only for the election but because it's the right thing to do.

That reporter was interfering with an arrest by rushing forward into the scene. I don't care if she had proper press credentials or not - you cannot interfere with an arrest. That is not what freedom of the press means. I know what it's like to stand and be witness to a police event to ensure it is recorded accurately and for the police to know they are being watched. It does not give you license to disobey the cops. Period.

R30, i think he needs to do more than condemn. At this point, he should come out with a plan for how he would quell the violence.

Good point, R31.

Nonsense. No "optics" to be seen on the other side except Derek Chauvin

A couple of more incidents like that and Trump will get re-elected. People vote for safety and order over personal rights

It was probably other cops

I still say it looks like a young boy or woman.

r34 you don't need "a couple more" I think this is enough. People are fed up with all of this.

It's never the ones who deserve it, like the asshole heads of the various police unions. Whack one of them.

This is very sad. These cops were very young and new to the force. I think they were just on parking ticket patrol.

[quote]as well as his racist pitch that Mr. Biden will flood their pleasant neighborhoods with low-income housing

Nobody, not even the most woke liberal people, want ghetto blacks living anywhere near them.

Killing cops, senseless killing in general is not OK. Not for cops, not for citizens. Both cops were under 35. I think the female cop was 24 and a new graduate. It's really sad, all of it.

Biden must be thrilled about this

DL detectives what if this wasn't a race related crime at all but a jealous lover of one of the cops. Perhaps these two young recent grads were having an affair or someone merely suspected it and that was the cause of the shooting? Wouldn't that be a strange twist?

I just flipped by cnn and msnbc. Nothing about this.

r40 - this is true. There is a town nearby, in a neighboring state that is most definitely as liberal as it gets. They have to have low income housing put in due to state rules, and whenever it's discussed on facebook, the residents use excuses like "traffic congestion" and parking issues, as reasons for not wanting it in town..A few are always more bold and discuss property values diminishing....these are the same people that have "hate has no home here" signs. They are practically begging for this project to be put on the very edge of town if it's forced upon them.

r35, no kidding. Who do they think shot that right wing shitstain in Portland?

This is either cops trying to start shit, cops trying to stop shit, or the FBI making its move. Some rando will get blamed, but this is all going to keep happening.

Agree w above poster about Biden coming up with a solid plan to end all this violence. The whole West Coast is burning to the ground. How 'bout we deal with that at some point?

R36 I was thinking the same - but not a woman. Looks like a kid or midget. Unless the car was an SUV. When he approaches the vehicle his (I think it’s a male) height looks to be as high as the car window.

Maybe it's a midget trying to start a race war....

It's probably payback for all the killings have been doing to blacks over the centuries, Defunding the paramilitary police forces would be a good start.

A lot of comments on other websites are concurring with the female/kid theory.

[quote] Killing cops, senseless killing in general is not OK.

*eyeroll*

Frau alert!

Calm the fuck down! Cops get ambushed. Cops get killed when they go to domestic violence scenes.

But the body count of dead cops per year is one tenth of the civilians executed without trial.

America thinks killing is a solution to everything. Trump, trust me, will bring back public executions if he is elected again. He has promised it.

Woman for sure. Look at that booty.

Perp runs like Quasimodo.

No, Boris @ r1, this is not Biden's fault or his responsibility.

We'll consider voicing an obvious condemnable act when ANY Republican condemns the ongoing crimes, atrocities, neglect and incompetence of Donald Trump and the Republicans.

R8, I had the same thought and I also thought it could be a woman.

R54, his pants are falling off.

Fight fire with fire.

"Ambushed LA Cops Were Shot Near Compton Police Station Linked To Alleged ‘Gang’ Of Rogue Officers"

I strongly doubt the woman deputy was part of The Executioners. Those idiots usually hate women.

The protestors are giving on-the-fence voters a legitimate excuse to vote for Trump.

These kind of attacks on cops give credence to their claims that they have to shoot when suspects don't follow commands, because their lives are always in danger.

[quote] I still say it looks like a young boy or woman.

That's what gangs do. They recruit and get the young ones to do the executions. That's because they will be treated as juvenile for the most part and face considerably less punishment. Most places can't hold a juvenile in the system past their 21st birthday no matter what the crime was and that includes murder and rape. That's why the gangs and drug dealers were called predatory. That's why back communities and their leaders wanted tougher sentences for those criminals and lots more police on the streets of their communities.

[quote]Whatever Biden does, it is incumbent upon him and the Democrats to make a very strong statement against this violence against police

What Biden needs to do is the right thing and denounce police violence and their routine murder of black men.

You can't systematically oppress people of color and kill them with impunity and expect no reaction. When cops aren't killing BIPOC, they are putting BIPOC in the position of having to fight back just to not be routinely murdered. The police are the problem. It's time to defund.

Unfortunately, a lot more people are probably going to suffer before this gets sorted, because white people use the police as a security service to enforce white supremacy. Amy Cooper was not an anomaly.

Many many working class Blacks are calling for maintaining police presence in their communities.

Voting for Trump as the bringer of law and order because you’re scared is not rational. All this violence and unrest IS Trump’s America. A vote for him is only going to bring more of the same (likely much worse).

I do think there is an argument to be made that cops are more aggressive because they have to assume that everyone is armed, however, we've seen case after case of cops acting aggressively & killing people who were clearly no threat (or could've been easily subdued by non-lethal means).

That’s a dwarf/little person, or a kid. If Bushwick Bill weren’t dead already, I’d suspect it was him.

R31, any idea what a plan to quell the violence would involve?

How to quell the violence? Social workers, Rose.

Just joining the chorus that Biden needs to shut this shit down ASAP. The optics are detrimental. You can craft as many abstract rationalizations as you want about systemic racism and profiling. The average American sees things in a very binary way. One side is condemning criminals and calling for law and order. The other side is celebrating anarchy and supporting criminals.

You can go on and on about the Access Hollywood bus and Trump’s repulsive Twitter, but Americans are faced with a very unfair choice this election.

And law and order will always win out.

It was a rhetorical question, R69.

Trumps America.

[quote]Just joining the chorus that Biden needs to shut this shit down ASAP.

He can't - it would upset his base for Biden to try to do that.

R61, how is an ambush like converging on a suspect with five or six cops?

Trump’s Focus on ‘Law and Order’ Not Working

September 4, 2020 at 7:28 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 64 Comments

A new ABC News/Ipsos poll finds a significant majority of Americans believe President Trump’s rhetoric on the unrest in parts of the country is making matters worse — with even members of his own party divided on his approach.

“Over half of the country — 55% — in the new poll said they think Trump is aggravating the situation, while just over one in 10 Americans, 13%, said they think he is making it better.”

“Among his base, 30% of Republicans say the president is improving the situation, compared to 26% who say he’s having an adverse impact. Only 18% of white, non-college educated Americans, another core constituency for the president, believe he is having a positive effect on the protests, while 41% view his comments on the demonstrations amid the debate over racial equality as having a negative influence.”

You go, R75!

Biden's statement, quoted from the Washington Post:

“Acts of lawlessness and violence directed against police officers are unacceptable, outrageous, and entirely counterproductive to the pursuit of greater peace and justice in America — as are the actions of those who cheer such attacks on,” Biden said in a statement Sunday afternoon. “Those who perpetrate these crimes must be brought to justice, and, if convicted, face the full brunt of the law.”

Not bad, but it would have been stronger if he had added something like: "Violence targeted against law enforcement is violence against the peace and safety of American society. In my administration, anyone who commits such acts, or credibly threatens such acts, will be prosecuted to the extent of the law. As a candidate, I categorically repudiate such behavior and disavow the support of anyone who advocates for it. Take your vote somewhere else or stay home. I don't want you on my side."

r77, I would add that he needs to specifically order anyone who supports him not to attack police.

Feels false flag to me.

His supporters would be furious at that, r78. He said as much as he can say without risking a huge part of his base.

That's a dumb fucking idea, R77.

"Hey Democrats, don't shoot cops!" sounds like the party is admitting Democrats are responsible for shooting cops, when they're not.

The shooter could be a Boogaloo...

I think it's a teen, young under 15. Gang initiation.

$100,000 reward for information

If you’re in Compton, there’s a 99.9% chance that you’re going to get shot. How did these cops get ambushed?

It was Compton. It is terrible and the criminal should be brought to justice ASAP. But it is not the first time this has gone down in communities like that.

BUSHWICK BILL

R62 That's why Bill Sikes recruited Oliver Twist.

All of this shit is happening under T R U M P. Some of you sound like the psycho morons who tried to unleash all of Bush's shit onto Obama including some idiots who tried to blame him for 9/11,

This is all happening on Trump's watch. All of it. Biden has ZERO to do with this.

Years of fomenting hate and racial and religious division. Scum of the earth. Hateful clown who has no idea what it is to be a leader. Absolute shithead with shithead supporters and enablers.

R82 in Compton 😂

Bill Melugin from Fox 11 posted a photo of the female officer after she'd stumbled out of the car. She was shot in jaw and drenched in blood. I won't link because it's graphic and upsetting, it's on his Twitter.

Witnesses down the street laughing and not calling 911 after the shooting. Make fun of the cop who stumbles out of the car.

ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) -- An officer was shot in north St. Louis City Sunday night after an attempted traffic stop.

Officials with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department said officers were trying to pull over an older model red Impala with no plates at around 9:20 p.m. The car pulled over but then sped off and the officers followed. The people inside the car then started shooting at the officers in the area of 20th Street and Prairie Ave.

Hayden said officers found the car but no one was inside. The suspect(s) is still at large.

This is the ninth officer shot in the city this year. Just two weeks ago, officer Tamarris Bohannon was shot and killed in the city.

You can post all of the nonsense you want, but "Police officer" isn't even in the top ten of most dangerous jobs, it's just that the media focuses on them like when a white girl goes missing.

R94 What do you do for a living? What money do you pay your bills with?

R90, Biden is a piece of shit man.

Why violent interactions between cops and blacks won't be stopping anytime soon.

Compton seems like a horrible place.

R88, Oh fuck off. This started happening annually during Biden and Obama’s time in office.

R77, If he’s not making that statement during a nationally televised speech then what is even the point? Nobody is going tor read all that shit.

Compton is a hellhole.

Did the cops describe the attacker as male, because the figure in the video looks female to me.

Also I’m curious to know what race the attacker is, I feel like this is was done to incite violence.

R102 It has always happened, much less frequently now than at any other time in history.

Police departments now are far beyond the departments of the 70s and 80s, decades of reforms (and cheap and ubiquitous camera equipment) have made police shootings of unarmed people a rarity.

The guys BLM keeps protesting for keep being shot while actively attacking the police and usually have long rap sheets full of violent assaults. The police don't go out shooting willy nilly because they enjoy it.

R106, I’m talking about the intense media focus on these incidents and the national supporting of the riots that ensue. Ferguson was when I remember it starting in the past decade.

[quote]Did the cops describe the attacker as male, because the figure in the video looks female to me.

It's a trans person of color.

R88, Were you asleep during Obama’s second term where mass shootings/terror attacks and BLM riots were a monthly occurrence?

R107 Oh the policial agitation focused on an imaginary epidemic of police wantonly murdering young black men. That is the Obama administration.

I think the monster they created has long since grown a mind of its own and escaped the lab. They were just supposed to get out the base for the 2014 midterms.

Well, since this is Datalounge and we're all jaded cunts, here's the female cop about a minute after being shot multiple times.

She managed to stay standing, call for help, and apply a tourniquet to her partner all while looking this:

The poor shots make me think this was maybe a kid recruited to do it. An experienced shot would not have left both cops alive and mobile.

Quite extraordinary lady

Isn’t Compton like gang-central?

Democrats are deflecting blame and trying to blame this on”Boogoloos”.

The country will not forget this.

R114 Yes. Compton and Southside Chicago are the gang warfare capitals of America.

Compton is a community and has real people with real lives. They go to church and eat out. They play sports and graduate from high school, and even go on to college!

Many of the poorest communities in the L.A. area are roiled by over-policing, poor schools, pollution from unchained industry, slumload predation, etc.

R117, that’s just the thing that people forget about in all this. There are decent people in Compton who are down on their luck and trying to get out. Limited policing in those areas makes their lives riskier. It’s an easy thing to say when you live in a gated community that police should be defunded.

R117 That's not the question that got asked.

People in Compton are people, just like everybody else. Violence in Compton is known internationally, it is not a secret.

[quote]It’s an easy thing to say when you live in a gated community that police should be defunded.

Court TV described the shooter as a black adult male.

Los Angeles-area authorities worked Tuesday to apprehend a suspected armed carjacker in a standoff amid suspicions he could be connected to the shooting of two sheriff's deputies over the weekend, according to media

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva told several news outlets that the suspect is not linked to the ambush shooting of two transit deputies in Compton Saturday. However, KNBC-TV reported that multiple law enforcement sources said detectives are increasingly confident the suspect, who led authorities on a car chase Tuesday, is connected.

During the chase, the suspect reportedly jumped out of the vehicle and ran into a home in the Los Angeles suburb of Lynwood.

Deputy Juanita Navarro-Suarez told City News Service that the department could not confirm whether the suspect is connected to the attack on her fellow deputies.

“At this time, it’s just a carjacking suspect, but it’s really important that we apprehend him and ID him to see if there’s any nexus with the ambush,” she said.

Nexus is a word you don't hear much.
