    I’ve lived in rancho Cucamonga for 44 years. I sure hope he changes the way it was the when he was coming up in the ranks. I also pray he has had proper training not only pertaining to police policies laws but more importantly trained in classes that educate on race and equality. Big big problem here.

  2. I agree !
    sovereign immunity needs to be taken away, and liability need to sit on the officer! For bad policing and misconduct.

  3. How can i meet him face to face and shake his hand?
