LAPD shoots at Suspect, Kills Him, and Innocent 14 Year Old Girl

Dude with the rifle raced to the front like the suspect was going to be wearing body armor.

They could have used a shotgun loaded with bean bags, mace, K-9, etc.
Exactly!!! They should have had an officer near the Point-Position with a shotgun loaded with less than lethal being covered by another officer with a standard duty load, preferably with 9mm.
 

Sad shit.
The cop went in ready to shoot. Why even have an Assault rifle in that instance anyway?
No shots were heard. I understand the asshole needed to get stopped/popped but that's like smashing an ant with Gallaghers mallet. Its overkill.
The shooting cops came in with the AR pushing the other cops aside ready to set it off unaware of this surroundings.
Is the cop 100% to blame? No, but I give him around 87% of it, however.
 
Did the pig push the other pigs out the way and said let me take him down with the riffle?

I just watched the video and didn’t read the articles yet, but that seems problematic.
 
Cop looks like he might be black = he is going down

And they were wrong with the rifle. Just like those claiming to own a rifle for self-defense,
this is what happens.

Its bizzare as hell. Why would a rifle need to be "point" inside an occupied building?

Can we tell they all must have been trained to do that because everyone else
just fell back when he said let me take point.

Feel sorry for the girl and her family, but the BROTHER he will get roasted as a sacrifice for the
devils to say "yeah police are bad but it's black police.
 
Meanwhile in Florida Sunday......





 
Cop is going down.

Cop is Black, he was going down no matter what.

Everybody in the store looked like they might be of some Hispanic heritage.

The girl was not with the hispanic assailant, who had been screwing with people throughout the store
and finally wailed on one woman with the bike lock. The random girl was in a dressing room trying
out clothes for a party.
 
LAPD officer who fatally shot 14-year-old girl along with assault suspect is identified
90

The Los Angeles police officer who killed an assault suspect and a 14-year-old bystander in a shooting at a Burlington store in North Hollywood two days before Christmas was Officer William Dorsey Jones Jr., according to multiple sources.

The LAPD has withheld the officer’s name “pending department review processes,” despite having promised to be transparent about the incident and releasing video Monday in which Jones is not only visible but also referred to by his last name by other officers.
Jones could not be reached for comment. His attorney did not respond to requests for comment.

In the video, which included surveillance footage, 911 recordings and video from body cameras worn by Jones and other officers, Jones can be seen pulling a rifle out of the back of his police vehicle and rushing into the Burlington store along with other officers.

One caller to 911 who identified herself as an employee had told a dispatcher that the suspect, later identified as Daniel Elena-Lopez, was assaulting customers with a bike lock in the store. Another caller told another dispatcher, incorrectly, that the suspect had a gun.
Elena-Lopez did not have a gun.

According to the video, Jones reached the top of an escalator to the store’s second floor, where Elena-Lopez had just beaten a woman with the bike lock, and the officer then moved quickly with his rifle drawn to the front of a group of other officers armed with handguns and projectile weapons.

When Jones spotted the bloodied woman who had been beaten on the floor, he shouted, “She’s bleeding!” and rushed forward again as other officers told him to slow down.

Within seconds, Jones had reached the victim, turned to his right and fired three rounds at Elena-Lopez, who was moving away from Jones and the victim at the opposite end of a shopping aisle.

Jones killed Elena-Lopez in the shooting, but also 14-year-old Valentina Orellana-Peralta, who was hiding in a nearby dressing room with her mother when one of Jones’ rounds penetrated the dressing room wall and struck her.

The shooting immediately drew outrage and condemnation for the officers’ actions, particularly those of Jones — whom activists and independent journalists were quick to identify from the video. At a news conference held by Valentina’s family in front of police headquarters Wednesday, activists held up handmade “Wanted” posters with Jones’ picture and name, calling for him to be arrested and charged in the shooting.

Police have said the investigation into the shooting will be thorough, with investigators reviewing every action of each officer involved. The California Department of Justice is also conducting an independent investigation.

Jones appeared to be assigned to the North Hollywood station and was the founder in 2020 of a nonprofit called Officers for Change, which aimed to support city kids and bolster their relationship with police officers.

“Policing is more than Law Enforcement … Using our Sworn platform to Educate, Inspire, Mentor & Motivate,” the nonprofit’s website read before it was taken down after the shooting.

The nonprofit sought “to lead the community by giving to those in need, as well as providing support for our first responders,” the site read. “100% of your gifts & donations will help support causes for awareness, provide clothing, school supplies, food, athletic equipment and more to disadvantaged and at-risk youth.”

The page was still visible Wednesday via the Wayback Machine, an internet archive website.

The organization’s Facebook page was also taken down in the wake of the shooting, as was the official Twitter account of the North Hollywood police station. A spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department said he did not know why that Twitter account was taken down.

Also taken down was what appeared to be Jones’ personal Twitter account, under the handle @LAPD_OfcrJones. A capture of that Twitter page from September 2020 showed Jones identified there as a North Hollywood community relations officer and youth program coordinator.

Wait, lil man was trying to dip out on the police?
 
What's really got Me pissing mad all week about this shit is that there were at least SEVEN FUCKIN' COPS on that scene.
And NONE of them could take down some crazed jerk swinging a BIKE LOCK???
FUCKIN' REALLY???

And for the Cop who took the shots on top of that?
I don't care if Dude is a "Brother".
FUCK 'IM!

As much as many of US here rag on Ben Crump, I'm glad he was "hired" by the family. And that Black folks are showing their support.
Because many of those Latinos can be straight-up RACIST!
But OUR presence there at that press conference shows them that WE know it just ain't (about) US when it comes to these senseless Police Shootings/Killings. It has to be about Solidarity.

This is some Paramilitary Force Bullshit.

It's actually about white supremacy

See, they will give a pass to white men who kill anyone, Blacks, white women, Latinos, etc.

It just so happens that in the cases of a cop vs citizen, Black citizens are unarmed, get killed and then we get the itch.

So when this happens,, with the brother, it will show you a different side. He will get roasted, and they won't use
the same energy to defend him because he is not a white male.

But that does not mean I'm on his side. I'm anti-white supremacy.
When a white killer puts on a uniform, it just escalates their nature.
 
Suspect in Burlington attack in which LAPD killed young bystander was on meth, autopsy shows

BY KEVIN RECTORSTAFF WRITER
JUNE 15, 2022 3:51 PM PT
The 24-year-old suspect whose attack on shoppers in a North Hollywood department store prompted a Los Angeles police shooting that killed him and a 14-year-old bystander was on methamphetamine at the time, according to an autopsy report released Wednesday.
Daniel Elena-Lopez, whom police shot a single time in the chest with a rifle after coming upon him attacking a woman with a metal bike lock in a store aisle, also had marijuana in his system, the Los Angeles County coroner’s office found.
A separate autopsy for 14-year-old Valentina Orellana-Peralta shows the girl, who was hiding in a changing room with her mother at the time of the Dec. 23 attack, also suffered a single gunshot wound to the chest.

Police have said one of multiple rounds fired by the officer with the rifle penetrated a wall behind Elena-Lopez, striking Valentina. The autopsy describes devastating injuries from the single round as it passed through her chest cavity and organs.

The autopsies shed new light on the circumstances behind the shooting, which spurred intense criticism and international condemnation of the police response given the girl’s death.

Valentina had arrived in the U.S. from her native Chile about six months before her death and had dreams of becoming an engineer and a U.S. citizen.

Her parents have questioned the LAPD’s actions. Her mother, Soledad Peralta, was in the dressing room with her daughter when she was fatally shot.

“I won’t rest until my daughter gets justice,” said her father, Juan Pablo Orellana, during a news conference outside police headquarters in downtown Los Angeles in late December.

The families’ attorneys did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday.

On the day of the shooting, multiple people had called 911 asking for police to respond to the Burlington store in the 12100 block of Victory Boulevard. At least one had claimed the man had a gun.

“There’s a guy with a gun,” the caller told a dispatcher, according to call recordings released by police.

When the dispatcher inquired about the suspect’s race, the caller replied, “We don’t know, Miss. It’s just shots.”

“So he shot the gun?” the dispatcher asked.

“Yes,” the caller said.

Video from the incident showed a squad of LAPD officers rush into the store looking for the suspect, their approach in part based on the report of a gunman. One officer armed with a rifle, identified as Officer William Dorsey Jones Jr., quickly moved to the front of the group.

When Jones saw a bloodied woman on the floor — who had just been beaten by Elena-Lopez with the bike lock — he shouted, “She’s bleeding!” and rushed forward.

“Hold up! Hold up!” screamed another officer, just before Jones saw Elena-Lopez standing at the end of an aisle and fired the rifle three times.

Elena-Lopez, who did not have a gun and who had been moving away from Jones and

the victim when he was shot, slumped to the ground.

Police across the country are trained to rush into situations where there is an active shooter to stop the threat as quickly as possible. It is a tactical approach that has developed in the U.S. amid a wave of mass shootings.

Police officers have been criticized for not using it elsewhere — including most recently in Uvalde, Texas, where officers waited for an hour outside an elementary school where a gunman had killed more than 20 children and teachers and wounded others.

However, critics of the LAPD’s response at Burlington noted that it was not an active shooter situation, that police had not actually heard or seen any shots, and that Elena-Lopez didn’t have a gun.

Ben Crump, the high-profile attorney representing Valentina’s family, has said the LAPD response was unjustifiable.

“We should not have to sacrifice innocent life in the name of safety when it was foreseeable that two days before Christmas, that there were going to be people in a shopping plaza shopping,” Crump said days after the shooting. “The family thinks things could have been done differently, to where Valentina wouldn’t have been collateral damage [and] would still be here getting ready to celebrate Christmas.”

The shooting remains under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department.

The department also has said it would be auditing its training on the use of deadly force after a spike in police shootings in 2021, including of suspects without guns, such as Elena-Lopez.

LAPD Chief Michel Moore and other city officials have apologized to Valentina’s family, calling her death a tragedy. Moore has promised a thorough investigation.

The autopsy for Elena-Lopez said his toxicology testing was “positive for methamphetamine, marijuana, and their metabolites.”

The report noted Elena-Lopez had a 1-year-old daughter.

The autopsy for Valentina said she was shot in the dressing room after a bullet pierced the wall and a gray hooded sweatshirt hanging on a hook.

The coroner noted the girl’s glasses were still perched above her forehead, her cellphone was on the bench, and drywall dust from the bullet-pierced wall speckled her black pants.
