The California Justice Department announced today that it has found no cause to file chargesagainst a Los Angeles police officer who, while aiming at a suspect, shot and killed a 14-year-old girl hiding in a department store fitting room.
Fourteen-year-old Valentina Orellana Peralta was picking out a quinceanera dress with her mother just before Christmas in 2021. She was shot and killed by a bullet that ricocheted off the floor.
He thought it was an active shooter so the courage it takes to go in is the same even if it turns out later that it wasn’t. Calling me a bootlicker is a completely unecessary ad-hominem.
He thought it was time to play commando and ignored the more sensible and responsible officers around him. But you’ll believe his lies and consider him a hero despite his absolute incompetence causing the death of an innocent young woman. I hope the boot polish gives you cancer.
Yes, every other cop there knew and tried to get him not to shoot but he was the special snowflake that day so his idiocy must be respected.
These MFS think acorns are gunshots. We cannot trust them to tell the truth about what the felt in the moment. It’s a problem whether or not you can sympathize with the officer.
