LAPD Looking For Ex-Cop Involved In Murder Of Monica Quan!

Cal State coach and fiance was gunned down by former cop who plotted revenge.

Tragedy out of Los Angeles. A woman and her fiance were gunned down by a man who plotted revenge on the LAPD and those who associated with them. The woman coached basketball at Cal State (Fullerton) and her fiance was a public safety officer at the University of Southern California.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the families of Monica Quan and Keith Lawrence. 

Also send our thoughts to those injured or killed by this deranged individual.

Okay, this is another reason for gun control. This also stirs the conservative/white supremacist bubble. Since this incident involves minorities (Black male, the shooter, the victims an Asian American woman and Black male), it's going to be another word salad of racial slurs, Obama name dropping and blaming hip-hop, rock music, and minorities.

This counts as another major issue involving firearms. When you hear more and more stories about individuals with firearms committing mass shootings, you start to realized that the time is now!

The next mass shooting could happen and you're there! And it happen to be the time you may have left your firearm at home or you didn't reach for it at the right time.

What will it take to get reasonable gun control?

Will it take a member of Congress or those involved in the NRA to be shot and killed by a deranged individual who had no business owning a firearm.

LAPD and the FBI are looking for Chris Dorner (left), a former police office and Navy Reservist who is a suspect in the shooting of Monica Quan and Keith Lawrence. The shooter also attacked LAPD officers who pursued him.

The case is making national attention and the FBI and Los Angeles Police are looking for Chris Dorner, a fired cop who shot the couple on Sunday. The couple were shot to death in a car near their apartment in Irvine.

The sad story is the woman's father is a police officer. Quan's father Randal was a former LAPD captain who tried to help Dornor from being fired.

CBS News reports that authorities are now searching for former LAPD officer and U.S. Navy reservist Christopher Dorner in connection to the killings of 28-year-old Monica Quan and 27-year-old Keith Lawrence. The couple was found shot to death in their car at Sunday night, Irvine police Chief David L. Maggard said.

Police said Dorner, 33, implicated himself in the killings with a multi-page "manifesto" that he wrote that included threats against several people, but would give no further details on the document or its contents.

Monica Quan and Keith Lawrence were gunned down by a former cop!

"We have strong cause to believe Dorner is armed and dangerous," Maggard said, adding that the LAPD and FBI are assisting in the case and anyone who sees the suspect should immediately call 911.

Dorner was with the department from 2002 until 2009, when he was fired for making false statements against another officer.

Randal Quan, who the LAPD said was the first Chinese-American captain in department history, retired in 2002. He later served as chief of police at Cal Poly Pomona and went on to practice law.

Police said Dorner's manifesto included threats against members of the LAPD.

"We are looking at the manifesto and will do an assessment in terms of the threat against those listed in it, and determine what level of protection each of them will need," Hayes said.

Police said he may be driving a blue, 2005 Nissan Titan pickup truck and his last known address was in La Palma, Calif., in northern Orange County near Fullerton.

According to court documents from October 2011, Dorner was fired from the LAPD after he made a complaint against his field training officer, Sgt. Teresa Evans. He said in the course of an arrest she kicked suspect Christopher Gettler, a schizophrenic with severe dementia.

Dorner was later fired for making false statements following an investigation.

Richard Gettler, the schizophrenic man's father, gave testimony that supported Dorner's claim. After his son was returned on July 28, 2007, Richard Gettler asked "if he had been in a fight because his face was puffy" and his son responded that he was kicked twice in the chest by a police officer, he testified.

Autopsies showed that Monica Quan and her fiancé were killed by multiple gunshot wounds in the parking structure at their condominium in Irvine, Orange County sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino said earlier Wednesday.

Lawrence was a public safety officer at the University of Southern California. The killings brought mourning and disbelief at three college campuses, Fullerton, USC, and Concordia University, where the two met when they were both students and basketball players.

It was reported that manifesto Dorner wrote targets LAPD higher ups. Fox News has the manifesto.

Dorner also attacked two other officers. He is considered armed and extremely dangerous (possibly suicidal). We will keep you informed here at Journal de la Reyna for the latest developments in this story.

LAPD Kick The Genitals Of Alesia Thomas! Dies Of Suffocation!

Alesia Thomas' death sparks controversy with the Los Angeles Police Department. 

Black and Latino people vs. Los Angeles Police Department.

We're experiencing another dose of reality with America's most professional and yet controversial law enforcement agency. The boys in blue managed to get themselves wrapped up in another controversy. Like the New York Police Department, America's second largest city has a huge police force. Los Angeles County covers about 8 million residents. The City of Los Angeles has nearly 4 million residents. The Los Angeles Police Department has over 10,000 uniformed officers watching the quadrant of 498 square miles of city limits.

Often known for their aggressive campaign to stop gang violence, the LAPD sometimes gets wrapped up in controversy of its own. The LAPD has been copiously fictionalized in numerous movies, novels and television shows throughout its history. The department has also been associated with a number of controversies, mainly concerned with racial animosity, police brutality and police corruption.

Michelle Jordan was kicked in the face after LAPD pulled her over.

We want to seek justice for Michelle Jordan, a woman who was brutally abused by LAPD officers. The 34-year old mother was beaten down after she got into it with an officer. She was pulled over after being spotted talking on cellphone while driving.

Police say Jordan was pulled over for a cell phone violation and got out of her car and became confrontational with the officers.

According to Jordan, she merely got out of her car, and the next thing she knew she was being slammed to the ground and handcuffed.

Another person who was abused by the LAPD was a banking executive. Brian Mulligan has already filed a $50 million lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles.

According to Mulligan, police mistook him for a suspect going berserk near a fast food restaurant in Eagle Rock on May 14. He claims police searched him, found at least $2,500 in his car and then took him to a nearby motel.

Mulligan says he thought he had become bait in a sting operation and tried to leave and that's when officers attacked him.

Brian Mulligan was knocked out by LAPD.

From Redding News Service comes a buzz worthy story. We here at Journal de la Reyna want justice for Alesia Thomas. We want the FBI and U.S. Justice Department to investigate members of the LAPD for police brutality. 

According to KTLA 5, the CW affiliate from Los Angeles, five LAPD officers have been removed from field duties and are under administrative investigation in connection with the death of a woman who suffocated while being taken into custody.

And now the family of 35-year-old Alesia Thomas is speaking out to KTLA News in a search for answers regarding her death.

"I think they killed her," Thomas's grandmother Ada Moses says. "She wasn't a bad girl. She was a good girl. I miss my granddaughter. That's all I have to say." 

The altercation in front of Thomas's apartment was captured by a patrol car's video camera.

LAPD Deputy Chief Bob Green confirmed that one officer, while trying to get Alesia Thomas into the back of a patrol car, told her something along the lines of "get your fat ass in the car."

The female officer then threatened to kick Thomas in the genitals if she did not comply, Green confirmed, and the officer followed through on her threat.

After officers forced her into the back seat of the police car, Thomas is also seen on the video breathing shallowly. She eventually stopped breathing.

LAPD Media Commander Andrew Smith said the investigation is in its early stages. "In the Academy we do still train people to use kicks in instances involving use of force," Smith said. "Whether it was appropriate in this instance, I don't know. That will be up to the investigation to determine."

"I take all in-custody death investigations very seriously," LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said in a statement late Thursday. "I am confident we will get to the truth no matter where that leads us."

The incident comes a day after Beck announced he was transferring a captain from his command after a separate videotaped incident in which two officers were shown slamming a handcuffed woman to the ground.

Beck had said that video raised concerns and that the department was investigating the officers, who have been removed from field duty.

The Thomas incident occurred July 22 after she had left children. Officers went in search of Thomas, finding her at her home in the 9000 block of South Broadway.

After questioning her briefly, the officers attempted to arrest Thomas on suspicion of child endangerment.

Thomas "began actively resisting arrest" as officers attempted to take her into custody and one of the officers took her to the ground by sweeping her legs out from beneath her, the LAPD's official account said.

Two other officers then handcuffed Thomas behind her back and attempted to lead her to a patrol car while a supervising sergeant observed, according to the department's version of the incident.

Two more officers were summoned to the scene as Thomas continued to struggle.

Green confirmed that Thomas was a very large woman.

A "hobble restraint device"-- an adjustable strap -- was tightened around Thomas' ankles to give the officers more control over her and she was eventually placed in the back of the patrol car, the LAPD account said.

The official account, however, made no mention of what Green confirmed was a female officer's questionable treatment of Thomas.

The department's official account said the officers immediately notified paramedics.

Beck's statement said he wanted to find out whether Thomas had been under the influence of any drugs or suffered from a medical condition that could have caused her death before he passed judgment on the officers.

Four police officers and their sergeant were removed from field duties after the incident.

Investigators from the department's Internal Affairs unit opened an investigation into the death, Green said.
