Marxist Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon defended his handling of cop-killer Justin Flores’ felon with gun case Tuesday evening.
Gascon was blamed for the shooting deaths of two police officers by a gang member last Tuesday, a direct result of his soft-on-crime policies enacted shortly after taking office.
Corporal Paredes and Officer Santana of the El Monte PD were killed in the line of duty by Justin Flores, a criminal on probation in an ambush at a motel last Tuesday night.
It is with heavy hearts that The City of El Monte & The El Monte Police Department announce the passing of Corporal Michael Paredes and Officer Joseph Santana. Corporal Paredes & Officer Santana were killed in the line of duty, while faithfully carrying out their sworn duties 🙏🏼 pic.twitter.com/wIzwjy6Iga

Justin Flores is a felon with a history of arrests but Gascon allowed him to avoid jail time for being in possession of a firearm.
Flores went on to kill two cops because of Gascon’s policies.
Gascon defended his handling of the Flores case and refused to say anything to the parents of murdered El Monte PD officer Joseph Santana Tuesday night.
Gascon walked away from the lectern and ignored reporters like a coward.
