Cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal granted appeal, spurring outrage from widow of slain police officer

Hey, why not. The Democrats are still celebrating the Christmas ~~death~~ murder of CA Officer Ronil Singh

murdered by an illegal Gustavo Perez Arriaga.

What better way to ring in the New Year than allow convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal to go free.

If the Dems win the no wall controversy they hit the trifecta!

------------------------------

Mumia Abu-Jamal, convicted of killing police officer Daniel Faulkner, has been granted a right of appeal.

The widow of a Philadelphia police officer who was gunned down 37 years ago in the line of duty is "outraged" over a judge's decision last week to grant her husband's killer a chance to appeal his conviction.

On Thursday, Judge Leon Tucker granted Mumia Abu-Jamal another opportunity to appeal his 1981 conviction in the death of Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner. Abu-Jamal spent three decades on death row before his sentence in the shooting death of Faulkner was thrown out over flawed jury instructions.

Prosecutors agreed to a sentence of life without parole, and Abu-Jamal's final appeal was rejected by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in 2012. However, the judge ruled on Thursday that former Justice Ronald Castille should have recused himself because of statements he made as a prosecutor about police killers that suggest potential bias.

"I'm absolutely outraged with Leon Tucker. Tucker has no merit on this judgment. [Castille] had nothing to say about Mumia Abu-Jamal, he had no prejudice," said Maureen Faulker in an exclusive interview on "Fox and Friends" Sunday. "This is going to open the door for so many murderers to be able to do this and appeal this."

During a routine traffic stop on a vehicle belonging to Abu-Jamal's younger brother, William Cook, Officer Faulkner got into a physical confrontation with Cook. Abu-Jamal was in the vicinity and observed the fight, ran over and shot Faulkner in the back and, later, in the face.

Faulker, who noted that she has traveled back and forth from her home state of California numerous times in this case, also said she hopes that Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner will appeal this decision.

"Mumia Abu-Jamal shot my husband between the eyes, he executed my husband," Faulker said. "I'm never going to let this go. All over the country, they're reducing sentences on murderers, they're allowing them out of prison, and it's wrong. It's so wrong."

The Philadelphia district attorney told the Associated Press that the latest decision is being reviewed.

The police officer's widow had a message for the judge who issued the new ruling.

"To Judge Leon Tucker: I hope you can sleep at night with the decision you made, because you know it was not the right one," she said.

The case against Abu-Jamal, a political activist and journalist, has received international attention among death-penalty opponents and criminal justice reform advocates.

Illegal Cop Killer Caught

This is a triple-split photo of Erik Razo Quiroz, Gustavo Perez Arriaga and Adrian Virgen, who were arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of a Newman police officer.

All 3 in the country illegally!!!

Sheriff Adam Christianson told reporters Friday that the suspect was in the country illegally and that if he had been deported for previous DUI arrests, Cpl. Ronil Singh would still be alive.

This is what really bugs the shit out of me. Not only do Democrats openly advocate illegal migration, but once they're here and commit even more serious crime/crimes... they still don't want to deport them!

Christianson blamed California's sanctuary law for preventing local authorities from reporting Gustavo Perez Arriaga to federal immigration officials."

This is on Jerry Brown, Gavin Newsome, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, the revolving door of southern California Hispanic politicians, Anna Eshoo, the mayors of the major SF Bay Area cities, and YOU, WHITE DEMOCRATS.

Sanctuary Cities...the safe haven for murders, drug dealers, human trafficking. How many more have to die before we get a wall?

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Latest on the killing of a California officer (all times local):

8:15 p.m.

A community vigil has been held to honor a Northern California policeman killed during a traffic stop.

Friends, relatives and fellow police officers along with many residents gathered Friday night in the tiny town of Newman to remember Cpl. Ronil Singh on the same day that his alleged killer was captured.

Officers and relatives held back tears as they described Singh, a native of Fiji, as a man who loved his adopted country, his community and his work.

Singh was shot Wednesday after stopping a suspected drunken driving suspect in the town southeast of San Francisco.

After a two-day manhunt, Gustavo Arriaga was arrested in connection with the killing Friday in Bakersfield.

Authorities say they were told Arriaga, who was in the country illegally, was heading to his native Mexico.

1:20 p.m.

Authorities say a man accused of killing a California police officer surrendered without incident.

Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood told reporters that Gustavo Perez Arriaga came out of a home in Bakersfield with his hands up after SWAT officers came to arrest him Friday.

He says that besides Perez Arriaga's brother and co-worker, three others were arrested on suspicion of helping the suspect elude authorities.

Perez Arriaga is accused of killing Cpl. Ronil Singh of the tiny Newman Police Department on Wednesday after being stopped on suspicion of drunken driving.

A day later and nearly 200 miles (320 kilometers) south, Youngblood says he received information that Perez Arriaga was between Modesto and Bakersfield and heading to Mexico.

Surveillance teams were set up in different communities, and authorities got a search warrant for the home where Perez Arriaga was found.

12:25 p.m.

The sheriff leading the investigation into the shooting death of a California police officer took aim at so-called sanctuary laws that limit cooperation with U.S. immigration authorities.

Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson told reporters Friday that the suspect was in the country illegally and that if he had been deported for previous DUI arrests, Cpl. Ronil Singh would still be alive.

Christianson blamed California's sanctuary law for preventing local authorities from reporting Gustavo Perez Arriaga to federal immigration officials.

He spoke at the news conference about making laws stricter as the Singh's brother wept beside him.

The sheriff says Perez Arriaga was a native of Mexico and had been in the U.S. illegally for several years.

He says Perez Arriaga's brother and co-worker also have been arrested for misleading investigators.

12:15 p.m.

Authorities say the man accused of killing a California police officer during a traffic stop has been captured.

Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson told reporters Friday that Gustavo Perez Arriaga was arrested in Bakersfield in the death of Cpl. Ronil Singh.

The sheriff says Perez Arriaga was in the country illegally after crossing the border in Arizona. He didn't say when that happened but that he has been in the U.S. for several years.

Christianson says Perez Arriaga is from Mexico and was trying to cross back over the border before his arrest.

The sheriff says Perez Arriaga had two prior drunken driving arrests and known gang affiliations.

12 a.m.

Authorities are searching for a man believed to be living in the country illegally who they say gunned down a California police officer the day after Christmas, inflaming the nationwide debate on immigration.

President Donald Trump referred to the death of police Cpl. Ronil Singh in a tweet Thursday that ended with the demand: "Build the wall!"

Singh died Wednesday after stopping a suspected drunken driver in the tiny town of Newman in California's agricultural San Joaquin Valley.

A suspect identified from convenience store video before the killing, remains at large and is considered armed and dangerous.

Newman's police chief, Randy Richardson, held back tears Thursday as he described Singh — a native of Fiji — as a patriot who worked hard to serve his adopted country.

CNN analysts critize U.S. troops for asking Trump to sign MAGA hats

Wait a minute! Is that Barry with pen in hand? Is he signing magazine covers of himself or giving out his phone number?

Here he is again.

Michelle doing the same as Barry.

Do you remember all the commotion brought about by CNN over the Obama's signing autographs? Evidently, its OK to sign a magazine cover but a hat is a no-no.

I Haven't seen CNN that upset since this Obama mural appeared at a Philadelphia polling place!

---------------------------------

CNN analysts cast a disapproving eye Wednesday on U.S. soldiers in Iraq who asked President Trump to sign their red “Make America Great Again” hats at his surprise Christmas appearance.

“Troops bringing Trump hats to sign may violate military rule,” said the Wednesday night headline on the CNN website.

On CNN’s “The Situation Room” with Jim Acosta, former Obama administration official and retired Rear Admiral John Kirby called it “completely inappropriate” for troops to seek autographs on the hats popularized in the 2016 Trump presidential campaign.

Tell me Admiral... which was worse? Trump signing MAGA hats or Barry signing the Iran Nuke Deal?

“It is, in fact, a campaign slogan, that is a campaign item, and it’s completely inappropriate for the troops to do this,” Mr. Kirby said. “Not supposed to do this. And I’m sure their boss is seeing that. They’re not going to be happy about it.”

CNN Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr called it “very much against military policy and regulation.”

“The pool reporters traveling said that the troops brought the hats with them, including one hat that said ‘Trump 2020,’” said Ms. Starr. “We will have to see if that actually proves to be the case. The question is, if they brought them or if the President brought them: What commander allowed that to really happen?”

She added that, “Troops are not supposed to be involved in political activities. The U.S. military is not a political force.”

The conservative Media Research Center accused CNN of a double-standard, arguing that the network would have reacted differently if the president had been Barack Obama.

“If it were troops handing ‘Yes We Can’ items to Obama for him to sign, CNN would either be touting it or not talking about it because it would be fine and a given that the President had their support,” said MRC’s Nicholas Fondacaro. “But not for this President. This is CNN.”

Mr. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump made an unannounced visit late Tuesday to Al Asad Airbase in Iraq to thank the troops for their sacrifice and help them celebrate the holidays.

Suspect in police officer's killing in U.S. illegally, authorities say: 'He doesn't belong here'

This undated photo provided by the Newman Police Department shows officer Ronil Singh of Newman Police Department who was killed by an unidentified suspect. The Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department said Singh was conducting a traffic stop early Wednesday, Dec. 26, 2018, in the town of Newman, Calif. when he called out "shots fired" over his radio.

Officer Ronil Singh, of the Newman Police Department, is survived by his wife, Anamika, and a five-month-old son, who are pictured next to him on Christmas Day

Authorities released surveillance images of the suspected illegal dog sought in the shooting death of Singh

The government is closed down now because Democrats don't want a wall. It's immoral they say. Try telling that to Singh's wife. But they are advocates of sanctuary cities and giving illegals a drivers license and totally against voter ID.

Anyone see a common theme here?

Do you honestly believe they give a shit about the everyday American?

Cpl. Ronil Singh...another one to be added on a long list.

SAN FRANCISCO — A gunman suspected of killing a Northern California police officer who pulled him over to investigate if he was driving drunk is in the country illegally, authorities said Thursday.

Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson said detectives identified the suspect in the slaying of Cpl. Ronil Singh of the small-town Newman Police Department but didn’t release his name. The attacker is still on the loose, and he said authorities searching for a second day believe he’s still in the area and is armed and dangerous.

“This suspect … is in our country illegally. He doesn’t belong here. He is a criminal,” Christianson said at a news conference.

Authorities are looking for a man seen in surveillance photos at a convenience store shortly before Singh was killed Wednesday. Officials pleaded for help from the public and said they were following up on several leads.

“The sheriff’s office will spare no expense in hunting down this criminal,” said Christianson, whose department is leading the investigation.

Christianson said Singh, a 33-year-old native of Fiji with an infant son, stopped the attacker as part of a DUI investigation and that the officer fired back to try to defend himself.

Singh was shot a few minutes after radioing that he was pulling over a gray pickup truck that had no license plate in Newman, a town of about 10,000 people some 100 miles (160 kilometers) southeast of San Francisco. Singh died at a hospital.

A ground and air search began for the heavyset man pictured at the store with short, dark hair and wearing a silver chain, jeans, dark T-shirt and a dark jacket with white Ecko brand patches on the shoulders.

A truck believed to have been the one stopped by Singh was later found in a garage in a mobile home park about 4 miles (6 kilometers) from the shooting, where law enforcement officers were serving a search warrant, The Modesto Bee reported. Investigators were examining the vehicle, police said.

Singh joined the Newman police force in 2011. Earlier in his career, Ronil Singhworked as a deputy with the Merced County Sheriff’s Department.

“He was living the American dream,” said Stanislaus County sheriff’s Deputy Royjinder Singh, who is not related to the slain officer but knew him. “He loved camping, loved hunting, loved fishing, loved his family.”

On his Facebook page, Ronil Singh posted pictures on Christmas Eve from a deep-sea fishing trip that produced a big haul of crabs and fish. His profile picture shows him smiling as he stands at a patrol car with a dog - the same photograph of the officer released by the Sheriff’s Department.

Ronil Singh is survived by his wife, Anamika, and a 5-month-old son, authorities said.
