“We really need your help,” stressed Sheriff Robert Luna, addressing the urgency of capturing the individual responsible for this heinous act.
“We need to get this guy off the street… He ambushed and killed, murdered, one of our deputies.”
The incident occurred near the Palmdale Sheriff’s Station. Deputy Clinkunbroomer, who had been a part of the department for eight years, was a respected field training officer.
“Not just anybody becomes a field training officer, it’s usually the best of the best,” Sheriff Luna remarked.
Sheriff Luna expressed a grim belief that Clinkunbroomer was targeted specifically “because he was in uniform,” a reality he termed as “sickening.”
Service was a family value for Clinkunbroomer. Both his father and grandfather had been members of the L.A. sheriff’s department. “Service was running through his veins … so unfair,” said Luna.
Luna also revealed that Clinkunbroomer had commemorated his engagement just days before the tragic incident.
Mayor Laura Bettencourt is reinforcing the call for public assistance, urging anyone with relevant information to contact the authorities immediately.
Sheriff Luna is determined and resolute, asserting, “We’re gonna catch the person who did this,” signaling the deployment of all available department resources in the manhunt.
“Homicide investigators are aware of a video that is circulating and are analyzing that video to determine if it is related to the murder of our deputy,” Luna stated.

That’s a cop’s worst nightmare. When he is working in uniform everyone knows who he is. He doesn’t know who the mut is who has evil intent.

The entire article could have been much shorter since the same statements were made over and over with a few word changes. What the hell?

It’s time to diminish all crime in our country. Time to get rid of all Soro’s and leftists’ democrats DAs. Time to put an end to all this criminal behavior. Start locking these criminals up and throw away the key. Time to get tough on crime. Enough is enough.
