…Gov. Gavin Newsom also issued a statement, saying “as a state, we must do more to stop these senseless acts that continue to take lives. We owe it to 24-year-old Officer Diaz and all Californians.”…
What senseless act would that be governor?
The young off-duty officer was eating with friends near a Lincoln Heights taco stand after midnight Saturday when he saw someone tagging a wall. He called out for the person to stop…
…According to law enforcement sources, a group of young men approached Officer Juan Jose Diaz sometime after the tagging exchange and began threatening the 24-year-old, his girlfriend and her two brothers. One of the men lifted his shirt to reveal a handgun.
Diaz and his group tried to hurry to their car and drive away to avoid a violent confrontation, a source said. As they got into the vehicle, the gunman opened fire, fatally wounding Diaz and injuring one of his girlfriend’s brothers…
Who would commit such a senseless act?
…The gunman claimed allegiance to the Avenues, a once-powerful gang that has lost its grip on the neighborhood in the last decade…
What do you mean ‘once-powerful?
…While its grasp in the area has declined significantly over the last decade as crime has decreased, the gang remains influential. The gang has been known to have strong ties to the Mexican Mafia, a dominant force in California prisons…
Yeah but why did the significant decline in crime over the last decade take place?
…The Avenues were involved in several serious crimes from 1995 to 2001, authorities said, including shooting a 15-year-old boy riding a bike, kicking open the door of a 21-year-old man’s home and fatally shooting him in the head and knocking a woman off her bike and threatening her husband with a box cutter.
The Avenues were also responsible for a series of deadly attacks on African Americans in the 1990s and early 2000s. Federal prosecutors alleged the goal was to push African Americans out of the predominantly Latino community…
Oh yeah. I remember that. I was living in the Inland Empire when the ethnic cleansing was taking place. Strange that something like ethnic cleansing wouldn’t be a national story especially when blacks were the targeted cleanses. How did that end? The last I heard the invaders were moving in and the blacks were heading north and the Orientals up in north California were arming up and organizing because there was a sudden increase in crime targeting their used to be peaceful neighborhoods.
…in 2008 and 2009, federal indictments sent more than 140 Avenues gang members to prison. A combination of gang injunctions, police investigations and residents more willing to report crime tempered the gang’s grip in the area…
This effort the LAPD officer made to reclaim civility from a gang banger intent on reclaiming turf lost during time spent in prison resulted in the young officers death.
What are the odds Newsom’s promised intent to join the democrat national endeavor to ‘dismantle the predatory system’ cost Officer Juan Jose Diaz his life?
What’s it been? Three years the democrat crime family has skated their debt to America?
