Though evidence shows a pedestrian made a deadly mistake when she was hit & killed by a Seattle officer, the cop was terminated by the city of Seattle. It's the latest move that will deal a blow to officer morale. It's a wholly unjustified termination.

WARNING GRAPHIC!

The Los Angeles Police Department’s Force Investigation Division is investigating an Officer-Involved Shooting in Northeast Division.

On November 22, 2024, around 2:00 p.m., Northeast Division uniformed patrol officers responded to a radio call of a male with mental illness, experiencing suicidal ideations, and armed with a handgun in front of a residence in the 5000 block of N. La Roda Avenue. Upon arrival, the officers saw the subject, later identified as 50-year-old Carlos Casillas, on the front porch of a residence. Officers remained next to their police vehicles and attempted to communicate with Casillas, who was armed with a handgun.

Casillas fired the handgun, and an exchange of gunfire between Casillas and the officers occurred. Following the Officer-Involved Shooting (OIS), Casillas moved out of the officers’ line of sight, and additional resources were requested to the area. Shortly after that, Casillas re-emerged at the front of the residence but refused to comply with orders to surrender. With the assistance of Metropolitan Division K-9 units and pursuant to a long line directed deployment, which resulted in a K-9 bite, Casillas was ultimately taken into custody.

New York: A Saratoga Springs police officer was injured when, according to police, a drunk driver struck his patrol car while he was assisting at the scene of a crash.

Officer Quinn Leffler was sitting in his vehicle at the intersection of Route 9N and Kirby Road around 8:30 p.m. when police say a grey Toyota Rav4 ignored emergency lights and collided with his vehicle. According to the Saratoga Springs, office, Officer Leffler managed to alert fellow officers that the Toyota was fleeing the scene on Kirby Road.

Police say John Bidonde, 21, of Porters Corner, was taken into custody following a pursuit that ended with a traffic stop in a parking lot on Route 9N.

Officer Leffler was treated at Saratoga Hospital and released. We're told he is expected to return to duty in several weeks.
