I'd love to come up with some smartass post, but that's so messed up I won't even bother. Screw SanFrancisco. They deserve all the crime they get.

Of all the people this group could use to help their plight...of all the recent stories they could have pulled upon to further their message.....They pull this guy Mixion? :rolleyes:

This has gone on long enough....
Time for society of all genders, cultures and races to give some push back on the general population of Oakland. A wake up call if you will....someone needs to .

Lovelle Mixion...rapist, cop killer, all around low life who reaped exactly what he sewed.

Says alot about certain groups of people.

[ManOfFaith]

How did this Mixon guy kill 4 officers? Do the officers train for this? Was Mixon a marksman?

No...Mixion was no marksman...He was just some idiot with a parole violations that didn't want to go back into jail...shot two officers during a traffic stop violation...then fled to his sisters apartment to 'hide out'...where SWAT team tracked him down..and shot him ...but not before he took two more officers down. :frown:

2 days after his death, Mixions DNA came up positive in a rape case of a 12 year old little girl from the weeks previous to the incident that took his life.

Real hero huh? :rolleyes:
I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did.

I don't think he's a hero, but just odd that he could kill four trained officers.

[FidelisAdMortem]

What can ya do, you pull a car over, no matter how alert you are, someone jumps out and starts blasting, thats seconds to react, sometimes its your time to go and you cant react in time. Unfortunately for the motorcycle officers they had no cover that a car would give them, they were sitting ducks, shot in the head, game over.

No, it is not odd. And what you're saying comes from ignorance.

Cops put their lives on the line everyday. Any time they pull someone over something wrong can happen.

My older brother pulled an old gentleman over for a taillight issue. When he went to ask for the license and registration the gentleman reached over to the jockey box (glove compartment). When he opened it, my older brother noticed there was a pistol there. He asked the elderly gentleman to stop and step outside the vehicle, apparently the gentleman didn't hear it and kept rummaging. It was after the third time my brother asked that the gentleman realized what was going on. It could've appeared that he was going for a gun. This could've gone badly for either one of them. They both stepped away from the vehicle and let the fear and the adrenaline subside. This was one event that went well because of luck and awareness. It could've easily gone ill for either one of them very quickly.

These types of things happen all the time where the cop can put his life on the line. Trained or not, there is always the risk that some ******* hopped up on drugs or simply lucky can take out several officers.

Training only prepares for the eventuality of something happening. It is not a guarantee.

And you my sir have hit the truth in all this right on the head. There are more people good sane people but the media ignores us often times.

The media gives the masses a skewed view of the world.

No, you are not in an episode of the Twilight Zone Welcome to the bay area. Sometimes it seems as if what was once bad is now good, and what was once good is now bad.

[Spiked101]

I don't think he's a hero, but just odd that he could kill four trained officers.

For your information, he executed the first two officers. He gave the M/C cop his license, and as the cop was going back to his bike he jumped out with a handgun, shot him and the other m/c officer who just came up to the scene. As the two officers lay wounded, he ran over and put a bullet in the head of one, and a bullet in the neck of the other.

He then ran to his sister's apt. The officers did not know if he was in there or not. They were clearing the apt and had reached the back bedroom. The perp was holed up inside the bedroom closet and let loose with a modified assault rifle when the officers entered (they had thrown a flash bomb in first). The two officers were hit with dozens of rounds (an officer I talked to said it was 118 but Im not sure if I heard that right nor not to be honest) which the perp fired from behind the closet door. He literally blased them from behind the door.

There's no way anyone was going to survive that. Trained or not, this jerk of an idiot was determined to take out as many as he could. Thank goodness they took him down. In this state it would have taken years to try him and 25 years to execute him. Justice was done on him, I feel bad for the families of the officers left behind. I do not feel sorry for him whatsoever.

[TheFallGuy]

And then, you will have the anti-cop people praising this jerk.

May he rot in hell for a long time. He took the lives of men doing their jobs and left their families without a father, a brother, a son, etc.

[Dual867PowerMac]

I feel for the loved ones of the officers who were killed as well as the family of Lovelle Mixon.

How do you know they raised him to do this?

[CaptPops]

Which church or organization buried him?

You're saying he's innocent?

Same as Mumia, who should have assumed room temp long ago.

[foxgurrrl]

Disgusting. These people are ignorant.

[Dual867PowerMac]

You're saying he's innocent?
No. Not at all. I'm saying nothing even remotely similar to that.

I'm saying that they didn't deserve to have a cold-blooded murderer in the family and should not be blamed for this creature's actions — unless, of course, they taught him that cold-blooded murder is a legitimate form of protest. I don't know.

Remember the man who killed those Amish people some time ago? The family of the victims reached out to the killer's family and didn't hold a grudge against them. Did you?

[monkeymom]

Reading the story I was glad to see that it seems the funeral services were kept to saying goodbye and supporting the grieving family. I have no problem with this - the guy may have been an absolute piece of garbage, but members of his family and close friends (who he may have never done anything harmful to) are still going to love him.

I did have a serious issue with his cousin/niece/whoever, that made the comment that they were going to seek justice for Mixom shortly after the killings - and the family members/friends who made excuses for his action, you know "he had a hard childhood" blah......blah......blah. Love him unconditionally - okay, be sad that his worthless life is over - okay, but try to excuse his behavior or blame police brutality - get a grip.

Provide a link that his family spent as much time reaching out and making amends to the officer's families instead of selfishly throwing a large, extravagant memorial service to honor that beast's memory and maybe I'll reconsider.

Until then, they're as bad as the punk that pulled the trigger.

Leave gay activists out of this, they're not supporting the murder of police officers.

[Darkblade]

When I bring up some kid who kills police officers, I will expect to be judged and condemned. Until then, I'll feel free to cast the first stone, and the second, and the third..... however many it takes to finally make these people realize they do have to have some respect for the law and the officers charged with enforcing it.

You know things like this only give politicians more reasons to restrict our freedoms and our rights as citizens.

The family of this killer deserve no sympathy. They are scum. They had a huge get together to remember the savage that was nothing more than a punk cop-killa.

[mgifford]

I'd love to come up with some smartass post, but that's so messed up I won't even bother. Screw SanFrancisco. They deserve all the crime they get.

Remember they're a "Refuge City". They don't arrest illegals or wanteds. Remember last year, the man and his two sons who were on their way home, made a wrong turn and wound up on the street where a demon possessed, sorry piece of filth killed all three for being in his way. He couldn't get by real quick.

The wife/mother was at home waiting with supper, but she waited for nothing. The piece of filth was a known illegal, criminal who was wanted but given "safe haven".

[mgifford]

I don't think he's a hero, but just odd that he could kill four trained officers.

These were two M/C patrol cops, who simply stopped him. If they'd pulled their weapons when they stopped him, all hell would break loose. He then shot both in the head.

When SWAT went to his sisters house, he was hiding in a closet and all departments require that a suspect, even and especially a fellow cop killer, be given a chance to give up before shooting him. He simply shot them thru the closet door.

[mgifford]

When I was off one nite my pardner was checking a "school alarm" call. As he walked around the building, he checked all doors and nothing was wrong.

The next day detectives caught a burglar in a school. As they interviewed him he confessed that he tried to get into the school the nite before.

He very proudly said "yeah, man, I was on the roof and the dumb cop came right under me checking the door, I had a shotgun trained right on him". The detective said "well, why didn't you shoot him". He said if he'd looked up I would have".

I spoke with my ex partner the other day. He said he was shot at a few months ago. He works in a quiet city, because he's getting old now.

I understand the need to make a hyperbolic point when you're frustrated, but I still don't think that what gay activists or even environmental extremists want is to see our police officers gunned down in the streets by thugs.

[Darkblade]

As someone who does argue and fight for LGBT rights, I'm just a little put out that you roped gay activists in with people who cheer for cop killers. I know what you were saying, insinuating that combined, we're all working towards the demise of our society and our traditions, but I resent that implication, it's not the goal I am working towards, and I respect and admire our police officers. I respectfully ask that you stop politicizing the deaths of these heroes by dragging other issues into it.
