The two fallen officers have now been identified. Sources in the LA DA’s office tell me if this case had been prosecuted without Gascon’s policies in Feb 2021, Flores would have likely been behind bars on a 2.5-3 year minimum sentence.
Instead, he was out on probation last night.
"These two heroes paid the ultimate sacrifice. Today they were murdered by a coward."

We'll have the latest at 10p on @FOXLA
