Man shot dead by Palmdale deputies Thursday

by The AV Times Staff • October 13, 2011

PALMDALE – A 32-year old man was shot and killed by Palmdale Sheriff’s deputies Thursday. Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau detectives are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting.

According to the Sheriff’s report, around 11:48 a.m. Thursday, the Palmdale Sheriff’s Station received a call from an informant stating gunfire was heard coming from a residence on the 3100 block of Heather Avenue in Palmdale.

Palmdale sheriff’s deputies responded to the location and commanded the occupants to exit the garage, but the suspect refused to exit, according to the Sheriff’s report.

When deputies entered the garage they were confronted by the armed suspect and a deputy-involved shooting occurred, the report states.

The 32-year-old man was shot and transported to a local hospital where he was subsequently pronounced dead. No deputies were injured in the incident, and a handgun was recovered at the scene, according to the report.

As of 9 p.m. Thursday, deputies had not yet released the name of the man shot and killed by deputies, citing the pending investigation.

Separate investigations by the Los Angeles County District Attorney, the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau, and the Internal Affairs Bureau will be conducted into the incident. Attorneys with the Los Angeles Office of Independent Review will also have full access to the facts known to the Sheriff’s Department throughout every phase of the investigation. Once concluded, every aspect of the shooting will be reviewed by the Sheriff’s Executive Force Review Committee, according to the report.

      You know. I feel for the black guy and his family who was executed recently in Texas by that stupid Rick Perry and the state government but I also feel for Nicole Simpson’s and Ron Goldman’s families, too. Or Reginald Denny. Or my friend Marsha who was raped at gunpoint by a black guy or my grandfather who was mugged by a black guy. You see. It goes both ways but we have to pretend it only goes 1 way so you don’t get upset.

      I lived in Oakland during the 60s and 70s and blacks committed a lot of horrible crimes as reported in the news. A couple of young black guys raped a woman at Lake Merritt Park and one chewed off part of her ear. Another couple of black guys, broke into a white couple’s house in San Francisco and tied up the husband and forced him to watch as they took turns with his wife and then beat him unconscious with a lamp. I recall these vividly from back then because I lived in a small town as a kid and never heard of such things.

      So, I wanted to give you an earful so you could, maybe, see some other points of view if that’s possible.
