Los Angeles DA George Gascón: Menace to Society

 Los Angeles DA George Gascón: Menace to Society – PJ Media

"What new evidence suggesting that the officers should bear criminal culpability in the Mitchell shooting has emerged in the years since Jackie Lacey cleared them? None. Yet George Gascón now relies on his own hindsight, distorted by racial grievance and an animus for police officers, to bring a case against them." 

"Los Angeles cannot be rid of district attorney George Gascón quickly enough. Two weeks after charging seven California Highway Patrol officers and a nurse with manslaughter in the case of a man who died from an overdose of methamphetamine, he now comes after two Torrance police officers for a shooting in which they had been cleared — with abundant justification — by his predecessor. Like the case involving the CHP, the one against the Torrance officers is unwinnable for the prosecution or would be in a just world.

"But it is not a just world, and nowhere is it more unjust than in those jurisdictions where so-called “progressive” prosecutors like Gascón have been installed. In these cities, the rights of criminals are prioritized above those of crime victims and far, far above those of police officers. An unethical prosecutor, especially when abetted by dishonest news reporting, can get a jury to believe almost anything.

"On Dec. 9, 2018, Torrance police officers Matthew Concannon and Anthony Chavez responded to a report of a stolen car being driven in that city. The car’s owner, who had reported it stolen to the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department, had the strange luck of seeing his own Honda Civic being driven down the street right in front of him.

"At the wheel of the stolen Honda was Christopher Mitchell, 23, who pulled into the parking lot of a supermarket and parked. The uniformed officers stopped their marked patrol car behind the Honda and approached, one on each side of the car.

"The Honda’s windows were tinted, preventing the officers from seeing inside. Officer Concannon opened the driver’s door, illuminated Mitchell with a flashlight, and ordered him to put his hands on the steering wheel.

"Both officers were able to see what appeared to be the butt of a firearm between Mitchell’s legs. Concannon ordered Mitchell to get out of the car, at which time Mitchell dropped his hands toward the weapon and leaned forward. Concannon fired one round from his service pistol, and Chavez fired two. There was a delay in rendering medical aid to Mitchell as it was determined that a SWAT team and an armored vehicle should be used to approach him. Paramedics declared him dead at the scene. The weapon between his legs was found to be a pellet rifle from which the stock had been removed.". . .

Government made of the likes of Gascon, AOC and the Squad, Joe Biden and his cabinet would not have stood a chance of governing America but for an ignorant, silly, and malleable voting public whose opinions are shaped by MSNBC, CNN, the ladies of "The View" and Hollywood. TD
