The California Justice Department announced today that it has found no cause to file chargesagainst a Los Angeles police officer who, while aiming at a suspect, shot and killed a 14-year-old girl hiding in a department store fitting room.
Fourteen-year-old Valentina Orellana Peralta was picking out a quinceanera dress with her mother just before Christmas in 2021. She was shot and killed by a bullet that ricocheted off the floor.
Deny justice long enough and people will get their own in the worst way possible.
Step 1: Take away cops guns. No lethal weapons for cops. Not a SWAT team? No guns.
Remind me again why vigilante justice is discouraged in favor of unhinged cops?
Because vigilantes won’t selectively enforce the laws so that friends of the elites can do whatever the fuck they want.
The cops show up and kill more people than the suspect. How surprising.
So far, sentiment seems very understanding of the tough situation and a call that had unforeseen circumstances.
Except, oh wait, it’s all bullshit passive voice copaganda.
From the literal article:
Los Angeles officer Jordan Head had a 40-millimeter bean bag gun, but before he could aim it at the suspect, Jones fired his AR-15 three times.
Head “did not discharge the 40-millimeter launcher because, before he could aim, rounds were fired, and the suspect fell to the ground and was no longer an immediate threat,” according to the Justice Department analysis of the shooting.
Officer Michael Mazur, who assumed command of the scene on arrival, told Jones to “slow down” multiple times, and at some point later told Head “It’s f—– up. We tried to slow it down.”
How does someone come to a point where police going around with an AR-15 is even legal, much less common?
What kind of large field ops with trained & organised counterparty are they expecting to encounter on a daily basis outside of an active warzone? And in a store?
All it took was two dudes in body armor robbing a bank for every cop in America to shit their pants in fear. They’re so afraid of being helpless again that they went and bought fucking tanks.
Ah yes. The classic “We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong defence.”
Things like these need to be held by an independent team and no info given about those involved, e.g. the shooter was a police officer. Some people keep saying the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. The fact the shooter was an officer should have no bearing on the outcome then.
Also, getting an independent team means new jobs for people. Get better results and be a job creator.
How is it not negligence? If a citizen did the same thing, they would get charged with negligence.

Treat every gun as if is loaded
-
Never point your gun at anything you aren’t willing to destroy
-
Keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot
-
Be aware of your target and what’s beyond it
If those cops could read they would be beating you senseless for resisting arrest.
-
The cop was fully aware it was loaded.
-
The cop was willing to destroy the target.
-
The cop was ready to shoot immediately.
-
The cop couldn’t give less of a shit what’s beyond their target.
You don’t know cops very well.
You’re missing the point. Anyone who is unable to follow firearm safety should be disqualified from holding a position that will require the use of a firearm.
Your flippant attitude doesn’t help anything. Yes, peace officers seem to have no moral code and are currently a detriment to society. However, resigning them to your point of view is somewhere between pessimistic and harmful. We must be open to changing this system for the betterment of society.
You’re missing the point. Anyone who is unable to follow firearm safety should be disqualified from holding a position that will require the use of a firearm.
But thanks to the 2nd Amendment anyone who is unable to follow those rules can have multiple guns

As always, ACAB.
Sounds like an honest accident to me. I don’t think we should punish people for accidents or for the very least it should be taken into consideration in the sentencing. He was there after an active shooter. That takes courage - we need people like him.
I AGREE! I don’t care HOW MANY INNOCENT CHILDREN DIE, we need MORE COPS COURAGEOUSLY killing people armed with bike locks!
He was there after an active shooter.
He was there after an active bike lock swinger. Get the facts straight before you get to licking boots.
