    R.I.P. Officer Keith Lane Boyer

    http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/02/20...-shooting.html

    Paroled gang member fatally shoots Calif. officer after car crash

    A recently paroled gang member killed his cousin and stole his car Monday, then shot and killed a Whittier, Calif. police officer and wounded his partner before being wounded himself, authorities said.



    Whittier Officer Keith Lane Boyer died and Officer Patrick Hazel was wounded when they answered a report of a traffic accident in the eastern Los Angeles County suburb.

    A motorist pointed out the location of the car that had rear-ended his vehicle, and the officers approached the driver.

    "When they get him out of the car, they go to pat him down for weapons, they can see he's got tattoos all over his face and all over his neck," county sheriff's Lt. John Corina said.

    The man then pulled a semi-automatic handgun from his waistband and opened fire at the officers, who were wearing bulletproof vests and shot back, Corina said.

    "They walked up on the vehicle believing the motorist was in need of medical help and then they ended up in a gunfight for their lives," Sheriff Jim McDonnell said.

    Whittier Police Chief Jeff Piper wept as he described Boyer as a friend of more than 25 years.

    "All of us have been grieving," the chief said. "And I didn't think I had any tears left."

    Boyer was pronounced dead at a hospital. Hazel, a three-year veteran, and the suspect were hospitalized in stable condition and were expected to live.

    After the shooting, a long line of police cars escorted the slain officer's body from a hospital in Irvine to the coroner's office. Mourners placed candles and flowers outside police headquarters.

    Boyer joined the force as a dispatcher in 1989 and became a full-time officer in 1990. A divorced father who played the drums, he was "the best of the best" who was sought for advice by his colleagues and superiors, the chief said.

    Boyer recently talked to the chief about retiring.

    The Whittier Police Department has about 125 sworn officers who patrol Whittier and Santa Fe Springs.

    The department has had two other officers killed in the line of duty -- a detective in 1979 and a corporal in 1977.

    They're refusing to release the name of the murderer. Gang member; I wonder if there could be a political agenda standing in the way of disclosing the identity of this violent gang member who, even with a long criminal history, was given early release from jail.

    The death of Officer Boyer is so sad. Many prayers and tears will not change the fact that socialist doctrine has so invaded our legal system that I am sure just retribution is in doubt in toto: that doctrine being a person is the product of their environment and not of their own lack of self-worth and honor. Especially when on drugs, which it appears to be the case with Megia.

    Not the time for my outrage to be so self evident, however. I will pray for all who are so hurt over the murder and loss of Officer Boyer, and pray our tears are our own facial tats of a brotherhood holding this country together. God Bless the Blue!

    Kali Democrat politicians are as guilty of killing officer Boyer as the oxygen wasting gang member.
