A Los Angeles County police officer was found shot to death Wednesday night in the parking lot of police headquarters in Downey, prompting authorities to conduct a massive manhunt for suspects. Two people were detained during the search as officials searched for an additional suspect involved in the incident, KTLA.com reported. A large perimeter has been set up and several apartment buildings have been evacuated as SWAT officers sweep the area.  The officer has been identified as Ricardo Galvez, who was a police officer for the department for five years. He was a U.S. Marine who served two tours in Operation Enduring Freedom.  The shooting occurred at about 11 p.m. in the west side of the parking lot. Galvez was in the driver's side seat of his unmarked car nearing the end of his shift. Two suspects ran up to his car and fired into the vehicle, authorities said. Another patrol car happened to be driving in the area and heard the shots, pursued the suspects and chased them into the city of Montebello. SWAT teams are searching buildings in the city.  "We have several people detained, and we are looking for several more," authorities said. "It appears he was targeted."

Charles, the Downey police chief, said at a press conference Thursday morning. "Our department is hurting." [i] [/i] For any of you who read, you may have noticed that the report said 11 deaths since August 20th. And these weren't black deaths. They weren't "innocent young men". These are cops. And yet, where are the protests? Where's Al Sharpton? Where's the President of the U.S. grieving with the families and saying change needs to be made? Why does no one condemn this? If a black is shot, you'd swear war broke out. People cry that a racial war is raging. Ty if a cop is killed, no one says a word. No movements are formed. No calls for change. Just ignoring the problem and getting the news that any death would typically get. Even a news reporter's death was covered all day, yet these police deaths are just covered like the rising and falling stocks. Like it's just supposed to happen. What are your opinions? [b] [/b] EDIT 1: READ HERE Had to put that in all caps since you are ALL missing the point it seems. The point is, cops, which are now all of a sudden being slain, were to blame for the deaths of some of a certain race, and there was a huge outcry, there were protests and riots, and the government was quick to condemn the police and state it mourned with the families. Yet when the roles are reversed, and cops are purposefully sought out and killed(some by the exact race that claims its unfairly being killed), few call foul, there are no protests, and the government disappears with its support for victims' families. So why the double standard? Is it because one side knows it can use the race card to get what it wants, while the other can't say it's discriminated because it's great-great-great granddad's were discriminated against? [b] [/b] EDIT 2: Yes, there are racist cops. Denying that would be ignorant on my part, but let's stop blanketing the community as a whole as power-hungry racists. It's ignorant as many probably haven't even met more than three or four cops personally. Everyone saying its a dangerous job is correct. But what I've read is basically just pushing to the side by saying, "its a dangerous job. They knew they could get shot and killed and they did. Oh well." Sure, the numbers aren't huge, but they are being hunted for simply being a police officer. Pulling the statistical comparison doesn't mean anything either. It doesn't take into account the fact that many of the civilians killed did something that is completely on them to get themselves killed. Waiving a toy gun is a good way to get shot if you don't stop. Wrestling with a police officer who may be losing is a good way to get shot too. Being a known dangerous felon and running gets you killed too, as police are duty bound to protect people and keep dangerous people off the streets. They also have to protect themselves. And as for these police deaths, these aren't grudges held by people who felt wronged by a particular officer. These are people who are told and believe that all cops are evil. Some already wanted an excuse to kill cops, but some are believing the "Civil-rights champs" that "cops are all racist". Many of these people that are part of the "BlackLivesMatter" movement have claimed to be for the right to live and protest all the "unjust killing" of blacks, while calling for the unjust killing of police officers. Just look on Twitter for goodness' sake. And yet, many here have continued to show that they are part of and support the hypocrisy of a group that claimed its victimized and killed innocently, while calling for innocent police officers to be killed. But no one wants to face that reality. No one wants to speak up and fight the obvious problem these people have shoved. No one wants to recognized the hypocrisy of it all. These aren't just cops responding to a drug deal. These aren't cops who got caught up in a gang fight. These aren't cops who walked into a house because of a domestic assault. These cops aren't being killed doing stuff like that. They're being killed, as in the instance of the Texas shooting a couple weeks ago, like they are wild game. They're being sought out and hunted.

EDIT 5 (10/12/15): Memphis police officer shot, killed outside his home FoxNews.com Published October 12, 2015 An off-duty Memphis police officer was shot multiple times and killed outside his home Sunday afternoon, becoming the second city officer to be fatally shot in just over two months. Police Director Toney Armstrong identified the officer as Terence Olridge, 31, during a news conference. Olridge was taken to Regional Medical Center in critical condition but later died from his injuries. The shooting occurred in Cordova, a major retail center just east of Memphis. Armstrong said a male suspect is in custody in connection with the shooting, but has not been charged. He noted that the investigation is in its early phases, adding that "details are sketchy." Police told the Memphis Commercial Appeal the shooting happened at around 12:50 p.m. local time Sunday. The paper reported that the shooting related to a dispute Olridge had with one of his neighbors, and several officers could be seen at a house other residents identified as where the suspect lived. Karen Lax lives in the neighborhood and told WMC she witnessed the suspect during a previous hostile encounter with a different neighbor. "I'm not really surprised something bad happened," she said. Olridge was shot near his house after he left to go to work, his uncle told FOX13. His fiance, who is four months pregnant with the couple's first child, was inside the home at the time of the shooting. Neighbors reported hearing as many as 15 gunshots, according to WMC. "We just got a call, told us he'd been shot on his way to work, that he made his way back to the door some kind of way," Jerry Kelly, Olridge's uncle, said. "I don't know exactly how he made it back, but made it back to the garage door." Olridge had only been with the Memphis Police Dept. since September 2014, when he started as a basic recruit. A smiling Olridge was interviewed in February by FOX13 when he graduated to the police force. "Got a task ahead of me and I am prepared," he said. Oldridge is the fourth Memphis officer to be fatally shot in slightly more than four years. His death comes only two months after Officer Sean Bolton was fatally shot. Cops believe an ex-convict shot Bolton as the officer interrupted a drug deal. A suspect in that case, Tremaine Wilbourn, has been charged with first-degree murder. Officer Tim Warren was killed while responding to a shooting at a downtown Memphis hotel in July 2011. In December 2012, Officer Martoiya Lang was killed while serving a warrant. "It's sad, sad it keeps on happening in Memphis," Kelly told FOX13. "Just another life gets taken, someone's life gets taken another day. It's sad." The Associated Press contributed to this report.
