Officials say the suspect fired hundreds of rounds at officers. “It’s a minor miracle that no one on our police side or fire side were hit today,” said Mayor Jorge Elorza. “There were a lot of rounds exchanged.”"

This is what cops do.Take violent scum like this out of society while at no small risk to themselves. While the gutless cop haters snore in their beds, and whine over coffee what a bunch of b******s they are. If fry cooks can perform this service with spatulas, then we can free up a lot of cops for school crossings.
