Summary

  • An LASD tactical team arrested a man who reportedly fired a shotgun at deputies in Compton as they responded to a call Thursday morning.

A helpful lawyer should sue the city for allowing criminals to destroy the city. It may be the only way to get some safety back. These Progressive Policies are harming society of all color, race, and socio-economic level

I've always wondered if a DA or judge could be held accountable if they release violent offender & that offender ends up killing a person for being let out of jail
