Intro: Alpha Mike welcomes the Nation to episode # 156 and talks about two Los Angles Sheriff Deputies shot at close range by a thug clown. Both Deputy did as they were trained and exited the vehicle, taking cover. One of the Deputies administered first aid to the other Deputy. Kudos to LASD Sheriff Alex Villaneuva for standing on the side of the cops. Remember our FBI alert on a creditable threat to Police while on patrol, "gang members plotting to kill an officer while engaged in the use of force with anyone." FBI alerts Police departments on "street gangs, have made a pack on shooting any officer that points a gun at a subject." Sleepy Joe Hiden issues a twitter post on gun control following the LASD shooting, the normal operating procedure for Dems, nothing on violence against police.
