Four Oakland cops killed by one man

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - The shootings of four Oakland police officers on a single day was remarkable not just for its death toll, but for the years of law enforcement experience Mark Dunakin, John Hege, Ervin Romans and Daniel Sakai had racked up between them.

Sakai, at 35 the youngest of the three officers killed Saturday by a 26-year-old parolee with two guns, had been working to protect people since his days as a college undergraduate, friends said. Like the 40-year-old Dunakin, a 17-year veteran who used to investigate homicides, he had chosen to marry a fellow officer.

Romans, 43, put in time as a Marine and an officer with Oakland's public housing authority before he pinned a city police badge to his chest. Hege, 41, who was declared brain dead Sunday but remained on life support, worked as a physical education teacher and a volunteer reserve officer before he fulfilled a dream and joined the force a decade ago.

Police said all four officers were shot by Lovelle Mixon, 26, of Oakland, a parolee who fled after shooting the first two officers after a traffic stop, then shot two more after a SWAT team entered an apartment in which he was hiding. Mixon was also killed by officers, police said.

Relatives and co-workers of the four officers requested privacy as they absorbed the enormity of the deaths. Oakland had never lost even two officers on the same day, never mind having twice that many mortally wounded.

Happened close to my home. A very rare probability for two cops shot dead during a traffic stop without even returning fire and two SWAT officers to get shot in the head as they enter the apartment.

Oakland's a step closer to Mad Max. We need Robocop now.

On the plus side the BART cops that shot and killed Oscar Grant might get a break and get a lighter sentence from all this.

What's worse than getting shot dead in a line of duty?

Getting shot in a line of duty by a mofo with a most girly name you can come up with. :tombstone:

What kind of numbnut names a boy child "Lovelle"? He was born a cop-killer in making.

It comes from a naming convention you're probably unaware of (unless you've watched something like The P.J.'s). My favorite boy's name of that variety is Chanterelle.

I'm aware of it without having watched The P.J.s. I just think it is beyond dumb and worth two chapters in my dream lecture series "A Short History of Idiots" which I'm going to do the very day I'm too sure of my teacher's vacance.

Seriously, Chantarelle? He should've gone the extra mile and named the kid Toadstool.

There were reports of people cheering as the first two cops lay dying in the streets. Shows you how the people of Oakland feels about the cops.

Its disturbing to me how many people view the police as the bad guys. People just don't have any sense.

Well I can picture 2 officers being shot during a traffic stop, losing 2 more in a swat raid sounds disturbing. Maybe they were too eager, maybe not enough training,.... something.

A sad day for the officers and their families.

Sounds like they were all heavily experienced. I bet it comes out later that he had some training himself, and perhaps heavy weaponry or armor piercing rounds.

And <I> bet that this generates another wave of shrill cries for weapons ban legislation. But materially, this guy was a hardened criminal who was more or less on the run; there wasn't much that the first two cops could have done outside of norms to avoid being gunned down during a traffic stop.

Me complaining about the name will bring the exact same amount of people back to life as you admonishing me from doing it.

We're doing equally good job here, the other one obviously has some illusions about it though.

What's your take, rogue or a warrior? Wasn't a DK because he used guns.

Semi auto pistol for the 1st two.

Head shot with AK-47 for the SWAT officers.

That was my first thought too. Blowing an officer away while he's at your window asking for your license and registration is one thing. Gunning down two SWAT members with shots to the head before they can react is quite another. I have to wonder how "he wasn't a monster" given that kind of nerve in the heat of battle, when doors are being crashed through and flashbangs are going off.

All because he would have gone back to jail for 6 months. That's really worth his life and the life of four officers? I just don't get it. People are retards.

And ironically he used an AK-47, which was not only already illegal in his hands as a felon, but doubly so it was fully automatic and unregistered.

I am shocked, truly shocked, that this cop-killing thug had no respect for the firearm protection laws outlined by his representatives in government. If you're going to gun down police officers in cold blood, at least have the common decency not to do something shameful like violate local gun laws.

Perhaps if we made them triple-super-illegal for him to own, he'd wise up and see how serious we all are about it.:strong:

If I get pulled over in Oakland in the future I'm putting both hands on the roof after I pull over.

Because after that, I know how the cops are going to be feeling about traffic stops.
