The Oakland Police Department lost four of its officers in the line of duty this last Saturday. Several news outlets said that Lovelle Mixon, 26, who was wanted for parole violations, killed a total of four officers after a traffic stop. Two were Motorcyle Officers and were killed at the location of the stop. The others were SWAT Officers and were killed by a hail of AK-47 bullets as they entered the suspect’s residence. The suspect was later killed during the second round of gun battle.
The OC Register quoted OC Sheriff's Department Spokesperson Jim Amormino as saying “The incident underscores the problems facing the release of prisoners back into society”. He further said, "Not only does the banking system in America need fixing, so does the parole system."
