Thank Trump. His appointments of judges who rule according to the law has shifted the balance of the court away from extreme Leftists.

ReplyDeleteCatch this jack-hole in an alley, “let the bodies hit the floor”
Does the LAPD detective have proof the guns were melted?
ReplyDeleteI wonder just how many of the higher end firearms made it into the private collections of the accused officer and his friends, rather than “destroyed”?
ReplyDeleteAnd more than a few probably wound up as drop gun at various crime scenes, too.
DeleteIf they had, he'd have known about it. All California firearms have to be registered and I can guaranteed you they checked when they were surrendered.
DeleteAnd of course, LAPD officers that would steal someone's guns, falsify records that they were destroyed , and kept them for themselves would certainly register said stolen firearms. Not.
DeleteAnd the one's used for drops would never have had their serial numbers ground off. Heh.
