A parolee who apparently went on to rape girls and murder four police officers was celebrated by some slimeballs in Oakland. The Associated Press brings us the article thanks to Juliana Barbassa, Lisa Leff, and Don Thompson.
Dozens of supporters gathered for the evening march, organized by International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement. Participants were led to a police substation within sight of two locations where Lovelle Mixon shot the veteran officers. Mixon, 26, was killed in the confrontation.
Mixon got off too easy. His death should have been a lot more painful.
Mourners walking through the streets chanted, "OPD you can't hide, we charge you with genocide!"
There were no officers patrolling the march route.
Pull the officers out entirely. Let the good people either flee or arm themselves and take out the low-lifes themselves.
Mixon's cousin, Dolores Darnell, 26, addressed the small crowd, calling him "a true hero, a soldier."
“This is the real Lovelle," she said, holding a picture of a smiling Mixon with his wife. "We do apologize for what he did to the officers' families. But he's not a monster."
Oh yes he was. Murdering rapists are monsters.
The event took place a day after a city-sponsored gathering drew about 1,000 people to the crime scene to honor the slain officers: Sgt. Mark Dunakin, 40; John Hege, 41; Sgt. Ervin Romans, 43; and Sgt. Daniel Sakai, 35.
May they rest in peace.
