 the cops are getting even worse as this post will reveal, with no support for the citizens from those who are presented as keeping us safe;


Long Beach, CA — The family of Mona Rodriguez is grieving today after their 18-year-old daughter was shot in the head by a Long Beach Unified School District police officer. Rodriguez, who was unarmed and presenting no threat to the cop who shot her, is currently on life support, brain-dead and is not expected to survive.

On Wednesday, dozens of family members gathered outside Long Beach Memorial Medical Center with candles and called for justice as the begged the hospital not to take Rodriguez off life support. Oscar Rodriguez told the Long Beach post the hospital intended to take his sister off life support in 24 hours. “They’re trying to take my sister away,” he said.

“Honestly I don’t feel that that’s right because if a government official is the one that shot my sister then the government should not be the one that’s deciding whether they should pull the plug or not,” Oscar said. “It doesn’t make sense to me.”

Despite the doctors telling the family that she is brain-dead and will not survive, the family held out hope that she would pull through. Rodriquez leaves behind a 5-month-old son.

“I just want justice for my girl, my baby mama, my love of my life that I can’t get back ever again,” her boyfriend and father of their child, Rafeul Chowdhury said tearfully. “I don’t know what to do with my 5-month-old son.”

The incident unfolded on Tuesday out front of Millikan High School in Long Beach. Though Rodriguez was not a student at the school, she was allegedly involved in a fight with another teen outside the campus.

When the unidentified officer showed up, Rodriguez got in her boyfriend’s car to flee at which point the officer resorted to deadly force. A student captured the officer on video needlessly firing off two rounds as the car — which was not being driven by Rodriguez — tried to drive away.......read and watch more........
