So why was this guy still on the street when the cops were warned?

EL MONTE, Calif. (AP) — The wife of a man who killed two Southern California police officers Tuesday in a shootout told a television station that her husband had previously attacked her and she warned the officers that he had a gun inside a suburban Los Angeles motel.

The gunman, identified as Justin William Flores, was shot and killed at the scene. His wife told KCBS-TV that he had attacked her two days ago and she had moved into the motel to escape him but he tracked her down.

“I am so deeply sorry, my deepest condolences for saving me, I’m so, so, so sorry,” Diana Flores tearfully told the TV station. “They didn’t deserve that, or their families. They really didn’t. They were trying to help me and I told them before they went in the room, ‘Don’t go in. He has a gun.’”

The officers — Cpl. Michael Paredes and Officer Joseph Santana, who were identified Wednesday — were both slain while investigating a possible stabbing at a motel in El Monte

Paredes and Santana — one on the force for more than two decades and the other for just months — were both were raised in and worked for the city of El Monte, a suburb of 107,000 people in the San Gabriel Valley. They became only the third and fourth officers in the El Monte Police Department’s history to die in the line of duty. A vigil is scheduled for Saturday.

Another case of police being warned but they had their head in their Po Po as usual and didn't take it seriously.

My uncle as a cop for many years and retired 20 years ago. He used to tell me that the parole boards used to call the police station and warn the cops that they were granting parole to some dirtbag and to watch out for him. My uncle used to ask them "if you think you have to call the police to warn them then why the hell are you letting him out of prison in the first place?"
It is the cops who get blamed but it is the system that is to blame.

What’s the question?
also as police and firefighters and first responders, u have to do the risky stuff… that’s why they know it’s risky when they sign up
their whole point of work is to save anyone and all people

[Daniela1982]

Why this clown was not in jail from domestic abuse to begin with.

[JohnK123]

Did she call in a domestic abuse before

[Daniela1982]

Unknown, only that she said he had previously attacked her. Could have been in the past or on the same night.

[JohnK123]

If it’s same night the police have to do a arrest warrant which takes time not minutes

[JohnK123]

Thanks for mho

A cops job is very difficult. I don't condone police brutality, but I also don't think it is ALWAYS straightforward telling which ones are the bad guys! It's a TOUGH, often THANKLESS job!

[Daniela1982]

I have seen a lot of mug shots in the news and it looks like they guys have been worked over.

[Guardian45]

True, but also remember that at least some of those guys deserve worse. The problem is telling the difference, and NOT getting killed in thebprocess by a baddie.

[Daniela1982]

I'm saying this stuff may happen at the station house, especially if they killed a cop or a kid.

[Guardian45]

Trudat

[Jamie05rhs]

I blame it on the dispatcher. I think a lot of dispatchers are really lazy. They don't take notes and they don't pass along details to the officers that they are sending out.

[Daniela1982]

Yes, but the woman told the police herself that they should not go in but they ignored her.

[Jamie05rhs]

How did she tell them? Did she yell out the window?

[Daniela1982]

I assume she was outside the house because she was afraid of the guy.

[Jamie05rhs]

Wow. So she interacted with the police directly, huh?
Well, then, they should have listened to her! 🤷

[Daniela1982]

Exactly.

[monkeynutts]

Sometimes you can never be to prepared when trying to take on an armed criminal, they made a call to defend a woman, so they are still heroic, but dead, better to be a living hero.

[Surely]

Maybe they thought that they would save the paperwork since the DA’s seem to be turning people like him loose!

[Daniela1982]

Seems like it these days. But the police and FBI were warned of some shooters and they fumbled the ball and the shootings happened. But the guns get blamed and not the idiot police.

[Surely]

@daniela1982. I understand what you are saying. But in today’s world. There will be twenty different cell phone angles that only show what the police did wrong and never what the bad person did illegal.
I would never make a cop in today’s world.

[Massageman]

And I thought my GRANDma was the only one who said "po-po" - - - - -

[KrakenAttackin]

You weren't there slick, you have no idea what actually happened.

[Daniela1982]

Probably still being sorted out.

[msc545]

At least they weren't like the chickenshit Texas cops.

[Daniela1982]

But they weren't that careful either, or at least it seems to me. They should have called for backup. Most cops won't do anything until their backup arrives. Especially if they don't know what's going on.

[msc545]

good point but still...

[BillyBalls]

Two words:

George Gascone.

The L. A. District Attorney should be prosecuted as accessory.

[IsoUser]

Apparently some cops relatives moved to California and are just as Spineless Lmao

[Dargil]

Incompetent, corrupt democrat leadership.

[Anonymous]

Not really sure, but that's messed up.
