TWO LONG BEACH COPS IN CRITICAL CONDITION. ILLEGAL ALIEN SUSPECT--STILL ON THE LOOSE--HAD BEEN DEPORTED MULTIPLE TIMES
Here's the link to a news report about the shooting of two cops in Long Beach the other day: http://www.dailynews.com/news/ci_4894831
According to the news report, the suspect, who is still outstanding, had been deported a number of times. What's that mean? He's an illegal alien. Why was he still on the streets of Long Beach? Because that city is an illegal alien sanctuary city and the cops there aren't supposed to take illegal aliens off the streets. Instead, they're supposed to wink and nod unless they commit a major crime.
Who should these two seriously wounded cops and their families blame for this crime? First, they should blame the suspect himself, and then they should blame the local liberal Long Beach establishment for letting criminals like this roam free. The enablers of criminals like this need to be dragged out from under their rocks so everyone can see them.
This is important for Costa Mesa because we still have a liberal establishment in this city, including some left-over cops from a previous liberal police administration, who would rather give free turkeys to suspected illegal aliens than arrest and deport them.
If any of the good, decent cops who work for Costa Mesa--and, we have many--end up being shot by an illegal alien on our streets, some of the blame should (but probably won't be) laid at the feet of the liberal establishment and the small clique of overly political cops who some believe tried to intimidate citizens into voting against Mayor Mansoor and Councilperson Wendy Leece in the just past election and who seem to turn a blind eye to "minor" crimes and violations of illegal aliens lest these illegal aliens get into the system and be deported.
One wonders if those few cops who sneer at citizens when they report minor traffic violations such as suspected illegal aliens parking in front of red curbs near grade schools and elsewhere and thus endangering kids, and those who smirk when citizens say that suspected illegal aliens are endangering citizens in our small parks, and those who laugh at citizens reporting graffiti, abandoned shopping carts, gangs congregating on street corners, loud music disturbing the sleep of kids, and various and sundry other things, will still be sneering, smirking and laughing if any of these suspected illegal aliens, who these cops gave a pass to, start shooting at cops?
Think it can't happen here? The CM PRESS hopes not, but unless Costa Mesa stops being an illegal alien sanctuary it's probably inevitable.
Now, we're not saying the local cops should put out a dragnet and grab and check everyone on our streets at random, but we are saying that when cops, in the normal course of their duties, interact with people, that the cops should expect, at a minimum, to be able to see valid identification and, where appropriate, drivers licenses, auto registration and proof of insurance, so they can know who and what they're dealing with.
And, if no identification or other papers are presented, or if any identification or other papers presented appear suspicious, then the cop should hold on to the person or persons until they are properly identified.
In addition, if the cop is reasonably suspicious of anyone he or she comes into contact with and if he or she can articulate that suspicion, then the person or persons should be taken to the police station for further questioning by the ICE agent who is now stationed there.
Let's get the criminals off our streets before anyone else is harmed by them.
