By the way, the same outcome is true for the Torrance cops who opened fire on the surfer dude just a couple of blocks away and within a minute or two of the shooting being talked about in the link. I'll find a link for that after I finish lunch.
Sorry, I've had like three or four lunches since I typed that, but I didn't completely forget (just temporarily - HA!).
So I tried to avoid the LA Times because I hate 'em, and found a decent enough story from a paper that I used to throw as a 10, 11 and 12 year old kid, The Daily Breeze. Now, if that name doesn't
reek of a paper that serves beach communities, the story itself will, as the skinny, average-sized white guy who was "mistaken" for a huge black man named Christopher Dorner a year or so ago, was on his way to go surfing before he went to work when a cop first rammed his black Honda Pilot pickup truck, and then opened fire on it with three shots that missed the driver, David Perdue.
For those who don't remember, the Torrance cops who shot up Perdue's truck were outside of their jurisdiction. It was close, but the street that McGee (the cop) crossed (Flagler Lane) to ram Perdue's truck was the border between Torrance and Redondo Beach, and the truck was on the Redondo side, as the caption under the picture of the scene clearly states. I said the exact same thing in
this post last year in the early days of information coming out about the whole mess.
Anyway, here's the
story about David Perdue's struggle for justice from the Torrance cop-shop. I seriously doubt he'll ever get anything approaching "justice," but I hope he keeps going for it until he gets as close as he can to it.
