Man shouting and attacking cops with 5 foot steel bar shot and killed

Oxnard, CA -- Officers were responding to a DUI investigation on the side of the road when a man, Adam Barcenas, 60, who was not involved in the incident began shouting and wielding a 5-foot steel bar in a threatening manner was ordered to stop but continued to come toward three police officers on scene. Barcenas refused to stop and continued to come toward the officers and was shot three times.

The Oxnard Police Department has released bodycam video footage on March 17 of the incident. It should only be viewed [below] at your discretion as it is disturbing as it shows Barcenas confronting officers Shayn Schwartz, Alexus Santos and Bryce Parker. The latter two were assisting Officer Schwartz with the DUI incident.

Barcenas has a long history of violence, disorderly conduct and robbery, according to VC Star. He had also attacked two senior citizens in 2019 in Oxnard, one of whom, Armida Castro, 71, had died several days after the attack. 

The bodycam footage shows the three patrol cars parked near a grassy area and bench outside the post office between A Street and Oxnard Boulevard. Santos is speaking to the DUI suspect and you can hear Barcenas shouting as he approached the cops, "Hey, you f**king pigs. I hate you."

Santos warned her fellow officers, "Watch out...get back," as Barcenas came into view holding a long steel rod. Santos pulled out her taser, as shown in the video. 

Barcenas can be seen holding the bar and approaching Schwartz, and it looks like he was lifting the pole to strike when he was shot. He was then seen stumbling and dropping the pole, which is the disturbing part of the video, which shows the footage of all three bodycams from different viewpoints.

The incident was captured in three different bodycam footage. In all of them, officers can be heard shouting: "Hey, put it down!" After the shots were fired, Schwartz said to his radio: "Shots fired. Officer needs help." The department said three of the four rounds fired hot Barcenas, He was struck in his inner right thigh, left hip, and left upper torso. Barcenas was initially treated at the scene. He was later taken to Ventura County Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

The incident will now be investigated by the department's major crimes unit. The report will be submitted to the Ventura County District Attorney's Office for legal review, and an administrative review will be performed by the department's professional standards division to determine whether the cops' actions were in line with agency policy. 

The DA's office will also be investigating the case to determine whether the use of force was legally justified.

True to form, the left-leaning media showed their bias.

CBS News, for example, had the headline: "Suspect allegedly armed with metal steel bar killed in Oxnard police shooting."

First of all, steel bars are metal so the headline is redundant, but let's not quibble.

What CBS leaves out is important information about the suspect. 

Here's what they wrote:

A 60-year-old Oxnard resident died following an officer-involved shooting, police said.
The incident unfolded as officers were conducting a DUI investigation in the 100 block of West Fourth Street around 6 a.m. Sunday. There, the suspect who was not the subject of that probe allegedly ran toward officers with a metal steel bar.

As a result, police gave verbal commands to put the bar down. The suspect then allegedly continued to advance toward officers in a threatening manner, police said.

"Two of the police officers drew their department issued tasers, and one police officer drew his service weapon. The suspect advanced to within just a few feet of one of the police officers, prompting the officer involved shooting," Oxnard police said in a news release.

The suspect was struck by gunfire and was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. No officers were injured.

Anyone who might have witnessed the incident was asked to call Det. Meagan Tobey at (805) 385-7755.

It's almost as if CBS [and other left-leaning outlets] would like us to believe the suspect, who they don't name, was simply a resident of Oxnard and not the obvious miscreant his history shows.

Nobody should have to die in such an incident as what took place in Oxnard, but when you leave out key information, and especially fail to show the bodycam footage of what took place, you're creating more distrust and hatred for the police and may even be promoting protests and violence in a situation in which the police response was justified.

But let's not pretend the mainstream media has no agenda.

Chicago cops turn their backs to Mayor at hospital after 2 cops shot

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) attended University of Chicago Medical Center at midnight Saturday where an officer remains in critical condition and one had died from a shooting at a traffic stop. As of this writing, the officer has been reported to be making some improvement, but it is too soon to know the prognosis.

About thirty Chicago police officers greeted Lightfoot by turning their backs on her, like she continuously does to the city's police.

Chicago Police Officer Ella French, 29, was shot and killed during a traffic stop Saturday night, and her partner fights for his life. 

Officer Ella French

When Lightfoot visited the hospital on the 7th floor, the cops showed her their backs.

"It looked like it had been choreographed," one source told the media.

So, who cares if it was choreographed? It makes no difference because the message was the same for each officer that turned away from Lightfoot, who has consistently taken an opposing position from the police, especially since the 2020 violent protests over the death of George Floyd. In fact, she campaigned as a police reformer and said the police unions are one of the main obstacles to reforming the police.

She said back then that police violence and brutality "demean the badge" and asked that people report police misconduct.

"Unfortunately, in history in our city, and I think the history of other cities, unions are extraordinarily reluctant to embrace reform and that's a current state of affairs here... We have had to take them to arbitration to win very modest reforms, and that's a shame of the history of collective bargaining where there hasn't been an emphasis on reform and accountability... These contracts... are a significant problem and challenge in getting the reforms necessary."

But apparently, the looting and rioting in August of last year wasn't an issue for Lightfoot. She was strongly criticized for allowing protests in the city, but not on the block where she lives with her wife.

Prior to that, on a May 31 conference call with all 50 Chicago aldermen, she got into a heated argument with Ray Lopez (D) of the 15th Ward. They actually swore at each other and Lopez called her out on the anemic response to looting and violence during the Floyd protests.

So it's understandable why the police would turn their backs on her like she did with them and the law in general. 

At the hospital, Lightfoot tried to speak with the male officer's father, a retired Chicago cop himself, and didn't expect it when he blamed her for what happened.

The mayor's press office provided an excuse in a statement to Fox News, "In a time of tragedy, emotions run high and that is to be expected."

"The Mayor spoke to a range of officers that tragic night and sensed the overwhelming sentiment was about concern for their fallen colleagues," the statement read. "As the Mayor stated yesterday, now is not the time for divisive and toxic rhetoric or reporting. [She should know all about divisive rhetoric.] This is a time for us to come together as a city. We have a common enemy and it is the conditions that breed the violence and the manifestations of violence, namely illegal guns, and gangs. The Mayor is focused on healing the wounds and will reject any and all that try to use this moment to drive further divisions in our city."

More people are shot and more are killed in an average week in Chicago than those killed in the last year and a half of those in our military killed in Afghanistan--that number is one.

Dozens of shooting incidents across Chicago over the weekend left 13 people dead and 73 injured.

In the period beginning Friday at 6 p.m. and ending at midnight Sunday, the Chicago Police Department recorded 54 shooting incidents, statistics show.

The suspects in the police shooting on Saturday are in custody.

LA cops shoot and kill driver who slammed into their cruiser, got out and confronted them

Communist Los Angeles, CA -- LA cops shot and killed a driver who wore body armor and slammed his vehicle into a patrol car, after he got out and confronted the officers.

The cops were responding to another call, their sirens screaming along Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. The miscreant "stopped suddenly" and reversed into the police vehicle, according to LAPD Detective Meghan Aguilar, who spoke with Fox 11 in Los Angeles.

The scumbag got out of the car, his right hand hidden behind his back, as the officers exited their vehicle as well, Aguilar said.

"The officers gave him commands which he did not follow, and he started counting down, saying 3… 2… 1… as he started to pull his hand from his back to the front," she detailed.

The car being driven by the lunatic had weird writing on it giving one the feeling that the driver was as crazy as a leftist.

Body camera footage from the officers provided the description of what occurred, showing the officers not shooting in the air, and not shooting the scumbag in the leg or attempting to shoot a gun from his hand. Instead, they fired at body mass as they are trained to do. It's obvious they didn't follow Juan Williams' or Joy Behar's sage advice. 

It was determined the man did not have a gun but apparently the officers could not determine that when he may have appeared to prepare to shoot them. However, the actual incident has not been fully examined.

The driver was pronounced dead at the scene and the thoroughfare was temporarily shut down, KNBC reported. 

Since the network has not identified the man's melanin level, we can guess that he was most likely a white guy.

The investigation into the incident is continuing, according to FOX 11.

Ibram X. Kendi defends fellow racist/cop-hater

Ibram X. Kendi has made a boat-load of money, mostly from white people who need to virtue signal that they are not racists, but you being are because you deny it. They give that false theory a fancy name and call it critical race theory and Kendi is the purveyor of the big lie.

Kendi is defending the idiotic tweet basketball player LeBron James posted Thursday morning that targeted an Ohio cop doing his job by saving a black girl from being stabbed this week. James suggested the cop should have "disarm[ed]" her instead.

If you watch the video you can plainly see that had the officer tried to disarm the girl, who was in motion to plunge her knife into the other girl, made exactly the right choice. He had no time to clear the distance between him and the attacker and had no choice if he wanted to save the black girl who was about to be stabbed. 

James, a left-wing semi-intelligent activist, tweeted out the photograph of the police officer, writing, “YOU’RE NEXT. #ACCOUNTABILITY.” James included an emoji of an hourglass, meant to signify that time is running out. [Perhaps 'semi-intelligent' is giving him too much credit.]

What's also reprehensible, beside James' tweet, which he later deleted, is how the media wrote their headlines, merely saying that a cop shot a black girl but eliminating the context. It's clear that the media hopes for more rioting--it makes them lots of money, just like race hustling makes lots of money for people like Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson.

While Kendi pushes critical race theory, the federal government has previously referred to it as "divisive" and "un-American propaganda." Kendi appeared on the Communist News Network (CNN) where he responded to James' tweet.

“In this particular case, LeBron James spoke out, he tweeted a picture of the officer, the officer who allegedly shot Ma’Khia and he said, ‘you’re next,'” CNN leftist host Brianna Keilar said. “He has since deleted that tweet. What is your reaction to that? Does that add to the tension? Is that appropriate?”

“I think it’s important for us to recognize that people are very, very angry and upset and outraged and people including LeBron James, you know, including others, they witnessed, you know, I don’t want to speak for LeBron, but I know many people feel as if they did not witness police work,” Kendi claimed. “They witnessed someone being killed and even potentially murdered. And of course, like with any other case, people are going to be outraged that someone did not come and de-escalate, the situation, disarm that girl, so everyone could have gone home safely that evening.”

Backlash to James’ racist, anti-cop tweet was so severe that he deleted it less than two hours after posting it. He followed up with two tweets but didn't apologize for putting a target on the back of the cop and posting his photo.

“ANGER does [sic] any of us any good and that includes myself!” James said ungrammatically. “Gathering all the facts and educating does though! My anger still is here for what happened that lil girl. My sympathy for her family and may justice prevail!”

“I’m so damn tired of seeing Black people killed [and saved] by police,” James continued. “I took the tweet down because its being used to create more hate -This isn’t about one officer. it’s about the entire system and they always use our words to create more racism. I am so desperate for more ACCOUNTABILITY.”

He's full of crap and proof that it doesn't take a genius to be a great athlete.

Some of the responses to James' tweeting from the hip:

 “Narrative Commitments + Retribution > Facts + Effectual Reforms This is a recipe for savagery, not #Accountability” - Kmele Foster

“Apparently the life of the girl nearly stabbed to death didn’t matter.” - Dana Loesch

“How dare you? This is disgusting & dangerous. He saved the life of a young Black woman under attack. This is incredibly irresponsible.”-Megyn Kelly

“Nothing to see here, just the Chinese Communist Party’s favorite illiterate apparatchik trying to incite the assassination of a police officer who saved a girl from being stabbed to death.”- Sean Davis

“LeBron James is a bad person who masquerades as a hero.” - Jason Rantz

And my favorite:

The Daily Caller: “Working class police Officer targeted by billionaire professional athlete because he didn’t let someone be stabbed to death.” - The Daily Caller

 Critical race theory and Ibram X, Kendi are racism in disguise and need to be called out for their Marxist agenda.

CNN crew hit over head at BLM riot, Don Lemon so upset he forgot to mention it

BROOKLYN CENTER, MN -- As Black Lives Matter enjoy the third night of violence, rioting and looting of local small businesses in Brooklyn Center, our intrepid "reporters" of CNN are on the job after the apparent accidental shooting of Daunte Wright, yet another criminal unjustly, [but obviously accidentally] shot while resisting arrest.

But the Compromised News Network is on the ground with Miguel Marquez and his crew and the BLM mostly peaceful "protesters" attacked one of the crew members with a water bottle, whose water temperature was undetermined. 

One BLM scumbag hit the older crew member in the head from behind and he goes down, obviously stunned over the violence that befell him. Then the BLM cowards laugh at him and mock him as a few less violent members try to determine if he's okay. The old guy gets up and appears to want to beat the crap out of them, but is held back as the crew is outnumbered.

The tweet by Nic Rowan shows what happened: pic.twitter.com/cBfRN9DJOj

The rioters then chased the crew out of the area, away from the police precinct, throwing things at them and raising their hands to them. “Get the f**k out of here,” the BLM folks yelled. The CNN crew quickly piles into their car and retreats to safety elsewhere.

Protesters just chased the entire CNN crew away from the police precinct. pic.twitter.com/r6TGmnBxIH

This is what they do to “friendly media,” trying to promote their side and their agenda. Imagine what they would do if it was Fox News at the scene.

As it turns out, Don Lemon was so upset over what happened to the CNN crew, and so preoccupied with his sad feelings that he forgot to cover the attack, or he simply couldn't control his remorse to get the words out without crying.

Just kidding. He didn't cover the attack because it doesn't fit the CNN narrative that BLM is good, Trump is bad, and Biden is not a house plant.

Will Chamberlain tweeted:

Weird – @DonLemon has spent almost 10 minutes on the Brooklyn Center protests and hasn’t mentioned the attack on his own network’s crew

Guess CNN will leave its employees out to drive if it doesn’t fit the narrative https://t.co/UsOjoznLzH

CNN is intimately involved with creating BLM/Antifa's credibility and have stoked the flames, almost literally, for a year. Do not feel sorry for them.

State Dept Spox says cops are the biggest threat to U.S. security

Jalina Porter is the new deputy mouthpiece of the State Department and could easily be mistaken for a BLM or Antifa member rather than someone who stands for law and order. 

In a Facebook posting dating back to Sept. 20, 2016, Porter said that the "largest threat to U.S. national security are U.S cops," adding, "Not ISIS, not Russian hackers, not anyone or anything else." [H/T Washington Free Beacon]

Porter's reference was in response to a video  released of Terence Crutcher, an unarmed Black man who, according to police, abandoned his vehicle in the middle of the street. He began walking toward police with his hands in his pockets, refused to show his hands, as he kept walking as police ordered him to stop. He refused to comply and was shot. A quantity of PCP was found in his SUV after the incident.

Autopsy revealed that Crutcher had "acute phencyclidine (PCP) intoxication" at the time of the shooting, a total of 96 nanograms per milliliter in his blood, as well as tenocyclidine (TCP), a psycho-stimulant and hallucinogen which is more potent than PCP, was present.

The officer involved in the shooting, Betty Shelby was tried and found not guilty.

Obviously, the incident was horrible, but when making a political point, it's always easier to blame the police officer rather than the person who resisted arrest or refused to comply with police.

Porter was not at the scene nor at the trial of Shelby, but posted:

 "An unarmed Black man takes a knee for justice, bigots riot. An unarmed black man (with his hands raised) takes a bullet and dies, these same bigots are silent. Explain this to me, please."

It apparently was not obvious to the police at the scene that Crutcher was unarmed when he refused to comply with them and posed a threat as he approached. We don't know what he was thinking at the time, and yes, he was apparently high on drugs, but what are cops supposed to do when they believe their lives are being threatened?

Porter, a former cheerleader for the NFL's Oakland Raiders and NBA's Washington Wizards, was also a top aide in the congressional office of Cedric Richmond, now Biden's White House advisor. She also worked for the left-leaning Truman National Security Project where Hunter Biden once worked.

"If y’all don’t wake up and rise up to this truth, the genocide against Blacks in America will continue until we are near extinct," she wrote. 

The State Department had no comment.

NAACP's Talbert Swan: "No such thing as blue lives'

This Swan is a different kind of bird:
ask a Marine

NAACP chapter president Talbert Swan claimed on Saturday that there is "no such thing as Blue Lives. Your CAREER is a choice, my BLACKNESS isn't." Neither is his profound stupidity and blatant indifference to human life.

This incredibly stupid, cold-blooded, heartless comment came after a coward in Los Angeles sneaked up on a police car occupied by two cops, and began shooting them in a cold blooded ambush. 

NAACP Greater Springfield President Talbert Swan tweeted: 

"There’s no such thing as BLUE LIVES... Stop comparing your JOB with my LIFE... Your CAREER is a choice, my BLACKNESS isn’t. #BlackLivesMatter #BlueLivesMatter." 

He never met the two cops who are fighting for their lives, a man and woman, the latter who has a small child at home. But like the morons who stood outside the hospital where the wounded cops were taken and chanted that they hoped they would die, Swan has disgraced his position at the NAACP, or the organization has itself become disgraceful.

"No one deserves to be unjustly murdered, police or citizens," Swan continued. "If you’re expressing outrage over the shooting of two sheriff’s deputies, but we’re defending #KyleRittenhouse murdering two protesters in #Kenosha only days ago, you need to shut up and have a seat."

Actually, if you are fair minded, it seems apparent that Rittenhouse shot the two attackers in self-defense, but that will be decided in the future.

Swan apparently doesn't care if the deputies die. He is more upset with the 8% of blacks killed by white people than he is of the 89% of the blacks killed by other blacks last year.

Where is the outrage this moron fails to express for the 2600 black murder victims killed by blacks in 2019? Where is his outrage over the children killed in Chicago day after day? Why is his outrage selective?

The deputies, a 24-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman, were “fighting for their lives” as they underwent surgery following the attack, which occurred around 7 p.m. local time on Saturday outside a Metro rail station in Compton, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. 

The piece of human excrement who shot the deputies should be tried and given the justice he or she deserves. Cops who commit crimes and use excessive force should also be tried. But this war on cops has got to stop now.

Last month, when President Trump's brother, Robert, died, Swan tweeted the hashtag #wrongtrump. 

"Dear Grim Reaper, You took the #wrongtrump," tweeted Swan.

Like the race hustling Al Sharpton[gue], Swan is a pastor and is also a radio host, and president of the Springfield, Mass., branch of the NAACP.

He is a hateful person and his role at the NAACP, or the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is an ironic oxymoron. He does nothing constructive to advance black folks. If anything, he is a role model for racial hatred and should be discarded on the trash heap of history.

Louisiana: cop-killer suspect dead

Left- Holt on the bridge/Right- Michael Louviere

Louisiana -- He allegedly killed his pregnant ex-girlfriend and an off-duty police officer, now he absolutely killed himself with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest Friday.

Sylvester Holt died late Friday at University Hospital in New Orleans. He was perched on a New Orleans bridge, threatening to jump off, Jefferson Parish Sheriff's spokesman John Fortunato said Saturday.

Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand told the media that during the stand-off on the bridge, Holt confessed to killing Simone Veal, 32, of Marrero, and Westwego Officer Michael Louviere, 26. He explained that Holt went to Veal's house Friday morning after he learned she was carrying her current boyfriend's baby.

Witnesses said Holt fired a handgun at Veal as she sat in her car and then chased her to an intersection where she hit a truck waiting at a light, Fortunato explained.

Officer Louviere was on his way home from work when he saw the crash and went to help. That was when the coward, Holt, "executed" him with a single shot to the head as he tried to render aid to Ms. Veal.

Holt took a taxi to the bridge and told the driver to stop because he was feeling sick and might vomit. He tried to climb down to a girder below that led to a roadway but was not successful.

Negotiators tried to talk Hold down off the girder but he shot himself in the chest at around 5:30 local time.

There are several women who had taken out protective orders against Holt and none of them are likely going to miss the human garbage.

In addition to this incident, Holt was arrested last September on a rape charge but the charge was later dropped when the woman repeatedly told authorities that she wanted to drop the charge, in spite of the fact that she maintained later than he did, indeed, rape her.

Officer Louviere was a husband and father of a 4-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son. He was described as a dedicated family man with a strong work ethic. He was likely bound for a position at a larger agency, said Westwego Police Chief Dwayne Munch.

Prior to becoming a cop, Officer Louviere was a United States Marine who served our country in Afghanistan. He joined the department in July 2015 and "finished first in everything" at the police academy, Munch said.

It was Munch and a doctor who told Mrs. Louviere that her husband had died. "That was probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do," he said.

PA Cops Shoot a Man Who Tried to Kill Them With His Car

Police in a suburb of Philadelphia attempted to arrest a man for making threats against law enforcement and when they attempted to bring him in, he pulled a Michael Brown and attacked the police with his vehicle.

The man was identified as Joseph Pacini, 52, of Clifton Heights, PA. Pacini posted a video on social media threatening to kill cops and FBI agents so a warrant was issued to the police for his arrest. A SWAT team was on their way to his apartment to serve the warrant when he departed his place at 4 pm local time and got into his car.

Officers stopped Pacini at an intersection in town, ordered him out of his car but instead of complying, he backed into the Clifton Heights police chief's car and then tried to run over other officers.

Like Officer Darren Wilson in the Michael Brown incident, this did not sit well with the police. For some reason police believe that their lives are worth as much as anyone else's. So to save themselves, they had to stop Pacini from killing them. 

Five officers fired at the idiot and they hit their mark. Joseph Pacini was killed and no officers were hurt in the incident.

If Joseph Pacini was a black man I wouldn't have to tell you about this--Al Sharptongue would be all over this incident like a fly on feces. 

But that gives fecal foraging flies a bad name.
