woman being stabbed at an l.a. hotel when they were shot by this man, justin flores. he had a long rap sheet. his girlfriend accused him of assault just one day before the shooting. he served two stints in prison and he was facing a third for possessing a firearm as a felon. that weapons charge could have sent him back to prison for three years. but under the liberal policies of los angeles da george gascon he was instead sentenced to two years probation and 20 days of time served one year later. after that, he slaughters two police officers. up until this week, corporal morales served 22 years. he now leaves behind a wife, daughter and a son. officer santana had only been on the police force for seven months. he leaves behind a wife, a daughter and twin boys who were reportedly born just this year. those are just two of the more than 150 officers shot in the line of duty this year. at least two dozen of those shootings have been deadly. tommy, i come to you first. not ....
