What got me was:

"Authorities searched Straub's residence, where they discovered he was illegally manufacturing weapons parts.
"Straub was a wanted felon and it is illegal for felons to possess any weapons," the sheriff's office said.
The sheriff's office said Straub was a known member of a white supremacist gang and the Sheriff's Gang Task Force was already conducting an investigation before Thursday's shooting.

Straub "had a significant criminal history having been booked 28 times into jails all across California including two incarcerations in state prison,"

And the weapons found IN HIS CAR (Boggles what other weapons he was hiding)

Cops identifying their shooting victim as a member of a white supremacist group is a way to deflect WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2020 #20

Why would it deflect interest in investigating this shooting? dware Sep 2020 #21

People might, *might*, march and protest the extrajudicial state killing of a white dirtbag felon. WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2020 #24

Ok, I get what you're saying, dware Sep 2020 #25

Police investigating themselves is a joke no matter who they shoot. WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2020 #26

I think in this case, this is a well justified homicide, dware Sep 2020 #28

Provocative take, but worth sharing. Devil Child Sep 2020 #31

It's a vigorous exercise, as someone who wants to abolish the police, to think about this killing WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2020 #33
