The Long Beach school police officer who shot and killed an 18-year-old mother when she was a passenger in a fleeing car in 2021 has been sentenced to three years in state prison, officials announced Tuesday.
I will wager any amount of money that if I had shot a fleeing teenager, I would do more than three years regardless of the circumstances. There is no justification for shooting at a fleeing car with three people in it only one of whom is of any interest to the police.
I was in a discussion about this with a friend who is related to a sheriff deputy in my area... He was adamant that police were held to a higher standard than the average joe blow when it came to shootings... I laughed at him so hard I almost began to cry.. JD

The lawyer's will get almost 5 million which leaves the "family" with 8 million. Should help raise her child, prolly not.
