During the Los Angeles Police Department’s (LAPD) hunter for Christopher Dorner they decided to shoot up random vehicles. Apparently the LAPD promised to replace the truck (how gracious of them). As it turns out what they really meant was that the truck would be replaced with a great number of strings attached:
The two newspaper delivery women who were shot at during the manhunt for Christopher Dorner will not be getting a new replacement truck as promised by the LAPD, according to their attorney Glen Jonas.
It has been more than a month since LAPD Chief Charlie Beck promised the truck to Emma Hernandez, 71, and her daughter, Margie Carranza, who had been working in Torrance, Calif. before dawn on Feb. 7.
Police said it was a “case of mistaken identity” that prompted officers to open fire on the women. Beck later apologized and promised to replace their truck, now riddled with bullet holes.
According to Jonas, LAPD and Galpin Ford wanted his clients to pose for a photo opportunity and pay income tax on the truck. The women no longer want the truck after they were told they needed to fill out a 1099 form for the donation, Jonas said Monday.
“You tried to murder the woman, now you’re telling her she can’t have a four-wheel drive, you’re telling her she can’t sell it and you’ve got to be taxed on it?” Jonas said. “How would anyone react to that?”
That’s cold. First the LAPD shoots their truck up because they failed to actually establish the identifies of the occupants and then they demand that the owners of the shot up truck participate in propaganda and pay income tax on the replacement. The officers involved in the shooting should be treated to the cages they like to inflict on the populace.
