A veteran Orange County sheriff’s deputy feared for the safety of two young girls sitting in a parked car when he shot and killed a Marine sergeant in a dark parking lot near San Clemente High School, authorities said Friday.
Sgt. Manuel Loggins Jr. was shot early Tuesday as he started to get into the SUV where his two daughters -- 9 and 14 -- were sitting, authorities said. Jim Amormino, a spokesman for the department, said the deputy was fearful that Loggins -- who he said appeared to be acting irrationally -- was about to drive off with the girls.
"The real threat that was perceived was the safety of the children," Amormino said.
"The deputy formed an opinion that he had a deep concern for the children, that he would not allow Mr. Loggins to drive away with the kids," Amormino said.

wow the cop knew and cared more about the cildent than their own father! think not. The only threat to those children was the man with the gun!
ReplyDeleteWow, more example of a police state being formed....
ReplyDeleteThat is the most bullshit story I have ever heard. I don't know what's wrong with these cops lately but maybe they need a dose of their own medicine.
ReplyDeleteWow more examples of Compliance or Death .... Something needs to be done about these police scum before they take over. and because of a irrational fear of some stupid cop 2 young girls have no father. Why as a large group of people continue to let the government continue to take everything away from us... just a little more and more everyday it seems. I used to think the police were supposed to protect but they are self serving agents of the state
ReplyDeleteThis is just sickening. GET it People! This is Murder. Government sanctioned MURDER!
ReplyDeletewell folks the government knows they are out way out numbered. 3 million personnel in the armed forces, add every rent a cop and LEO fed state and local maybe 4 to 5 mil of them against over 300 million of us. they ought to be worried!
ReplyDeleteThe question here is how was he acting irrationally. I would hate to think if I am getting in a car with my kids I am going to be shot.
