Unbeknownst to the officers, the vehicle that caused the crash was stolen and being driven by a gang member who had just been paroled; Michael Christopher Mejia shot both officers, killing 53-year-old Officer Boyer and injuring Officer Hazell. Even worse, Mejia had committed another murder just hours earlier, killing his own cousin. Now Mejia awaiting trial, and thanks to the efforts of\u00a0 LA District Attorney George Gascon, the death penalty for an admitted gang member that murdered Officer Keith Boyer and others, is off the table, despite objections from the deputy DA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Josh Boyer, son of Officer Boyer, spoke about DA Gasc\u00f3n policies. He said that District Attorney George Gasc\u00f3n is, \u201cGiving everything to criminals, everything they need to get free from these crimes, but taking away everything from the victims, justice for us.\u201d He also stated that he hasn\u2019t received any communication from the District Attorney\u2019s office, \u201cHe doesn&#8217;t want to hear from the victims, he doesn&#8217;t want to hear the voice of the people.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI want him to know how disgusting his policies really are.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People were not aware of the ramifications of the so-called \u201creform to the justice system\u201d that DA Gascon campaigned on. \u201cWhen we heard he wanted to reform the justice system, we didn\u2019t realize he wanted to normalize violent crimes,\u201d Josh Boyer said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Los Angeles District Attorney George Gasc\u00f3n&#8217;s policies are absolutely dangerous for the city and put all residents and visitors at an increased risk for harm. The consequences are being seen in the spike of violence and recurring murders by criminals that are paroled, left to roam the streets. Democrats soft on crime agenda makes our cities more dangerous and puts criminals over justice for victims. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Officer Keith Boyer and his family, as well as the families of other victims, deserve <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">justice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Juan Sebastian Fragozo In 2017 Officer Keith Boyer and Officer Patrick Hazell were investigating an accident near the intersection of Colima Road and Mar Vista in Whittier, Los Angeles County.
