Police Officer Keith Boyer was shot and killed as he and another officer investigated an accident near the intersection of Colima Road and Mar Vista Street.

Unbeknownst to the officers, the vehicle that caused the crash was stolen and being driven by a gang member who had just been paroled. The parolee had just committed another murder hours earlier. As Officer Boyer attempted to conduct a pat down on the subject, the man suddenly pulled a handgun from his waistband and opened fire. Officer Boyer was killed and a second officer was wounded. Despite the wounds, the officers returned fire and wounded the subject.

Officer Boyer was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his wounds.

Officer Boyer had served with the Whittier Police Department for 27 years and was preparing to retire. He is survived by several children.

The reportage of this preventable tragedy appeared in the morning SF Chronicle. Considering that he had just killed his cousin and then fired upon law enforcement officers, these kinds of sociopaths should not have been granted 'early release' in the first place. What's up with the current brand of courts/judges? Don't any of them have the balls to 'lock 'em up and throw away the keys'? If anyone finds fault with this logic, just ask the families of law enforcement officers (who's father/mother, brother/sister, husband/wife et al) aren't coming home following their shift.

I was just reading this and the story popped up on the local news...

They criticized California's early release program. 2011 supreme court ruling that due to overcrowding was cruel and unusual punishment...!!??

Also, that Violent criminals are spending more time in county facilities, instead of prison and that is also contributing to early release...

RIP, my friend...

The shooter was initially from the Pelican Bay state prison facility (keeper of some of the state's most hardened convicts/criminals). Don't these state bureaucrats (along with the courts) have any common sense when it comes to prisoner transfer protocols and/or probation/parole options?

RIP, Officer. I saw a photo of this "monster", and he is scary looking. Tattoos on his body and head, etc.
