It makes total sense now. A rival gang makes more sense than a cop...Were they dressed as civilians? If so he killed a covilian trying to break into his house...He is not a cop killer...he is just a killer

[@mouthofdasouth420]

Wow , your just a idiot huh

[@intheshell35ify]

He certainly looks the part.

[@daemichael3085]

Sparks fear? LA county has some more serious problems they need to address that really sparks fear!!! 😂

[@universal3024]

Epic ‘stache ..

[@milehigh2625]

Let him Free, i bet he was set up.

[@DCBDesigns]

They should never let this guy out

[@monto39]

He's DEFINITELY guilty of having a seriously bad ass mustache!

[@willierice7138]

Man are you serious, he shot the cop while other cops are present and you can't prove on that alone he did it. Are you serious!!! Incompetent idiots. Letting that man out is a disappointment to his children and disrespectful to all involved.

[@SPxUMADBROYOLO]

kind of feel the whole lights and sirens rules out a rival gang trying to come get you.

[@idontthinkso1559]

There’s no lights and sirens on a drug raid. Where have you been? Lol.

[@jaminova_1969]

As well as the facts. Fact, he shot a cop, not a rival gang member. What you may or may not have thought is irrelevant, because in reality, he murdered a cop. That said, I'm guessing that the defense can't use the 2A "castle doctrine" because the killer is either ineligible because he is a felon or some other reason.

[@aliasiskey4434]

If the police did wrong, best believe they will find any way possible to say they did everything by the book. They will find someone to inform on them whether its true or not. And most importantly, they will fabricate their story to supposedly show they were totally in the right during the raid. I mean lets be honest, how many times have we seen police do wrong and cover up their mistakes. Perhaps the raid was wrongly executed (might be the wrong word to use). Hence, the man was protecting his home and whatever he had anything. Regular looking cars with regular looking people in plain clothes not announcing they're police🤷🏽‍♂️My condolences to the officer doing his job but just maybe Gonzalez didn't want to get robbed. Regardless if he was doing wrong, he has a right to defend his home.

[@aliasiskey4434]

And how's that informants life been after all this? Did he change his life, go back to drugs,or ever been arrested again?

[@holdingcopsaccountable6554]

Steve Cooley let out three strikes when he got it changed in 2012.

[@Chmcd4rz]

Lawlessness everywhere in America

[@mattmcrae1458]

Hey alright ABC7! Way to be an asset to your community, a judge dismissed his claims today and said he will remain in prison. Keep up the great work!

[@rodrigodiaz9472]

Rip Jack Williams. Thank you for your service 🇺🇸

[@frankdenardo8684]

His daughters and family members and the law enforcement community are fighting with the state parole board to keep him in prison. He should not see the outside and should kick the bucket 🪣 while in prison.

[@RipPimpCScrewstonTX]

He was dirty

[@devans83]

Gascon BETTER step up on this!!

[@mikeandema6925]

That’s the hardest mustache I’ve ever seen

[@AdverbsAndNouns]

I love vintage pictures.. that looked so sick. Especially how they dressed .. the wood paneling.. the tile..old school car

[@bigdopamine9343]

That’s what happens when you don’t knock. Cops brought this on themselves.

[@meahdahlgren5875]

Right

[@smbeezy]

40 years on death row ? What’s the point of the death penalty if they let them live for 40 years plus?

[@NNYCannabisSociety]

Should never be freed!

[@donnawentz2221]

An hour ago they announced he won’t be getting out.

[@ChosenOne6666]

Raymond "Machine Gun" Mendoza former EmE member on KZbin is shaking in his boots. He rat out Jesse back in the 70's.
