The Streets of San Francisco...Karl Malden is turing in his grave!

California is not Texas to say the least. As Ron White said it,

I'm from Texas and in Texas we have the death penalty and we use it. That's right, if you come to Texas and kill somebody, we will kill you back. That's our policy. Right now there's a bill in the Texas legislature that would speed up the execution process of those convicted of a heinous crime with more than three credible witnesses. If more than three people saw you do what you did you don't sit on death row for 15 years Jack, you go straight to the front of the line. Other states are trying to abolish the death penalty. My state's puttin in an express lane.

Now here and in other uncivilized states we still have a concept that if you commit a crime, you are the one responsible for the crime. Not your father, your nurse, the paint on the walls of your nursery, but you.

That school of thought is foreign to other states in the union, like California.

Mother sues SF police over son's death

The mother of a Washington state parolee who accidentally shot himself to death during a gunfight with San Francisco police last year has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the city.

Kenneth Wade Harding, 19, fatally wounded himself while running away from officers who stopped him on Third Street in the Bayview neighborhood for failing to pay a Muni fare, police said. But in a lawsuit filed Friday in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, Harding's mother Denika Chatman said police have some responsibility for her son's death and that officers failed to give him immediate medical care. Instead, they "left him writhing in pain with blood gushing out of his neck," the suit said.

"He was literally allowed to drown in his own blood," said Chatman's attorney John Burris. "He was killed needlessly."

Harding was trying to fire at the officers with a pistol and apparently shot himself in the neck on July 16, 2011, police investigators said. Officers Matthew Lopez and Richard Hastings also fired on Harding, striking him in the leg, authorities said....

...Harding was a suspect in Seattle in the fatal shooting of a 19-year-old woman three days earlier. He was on parole for trying to pimp a 14-year-old girl in that city.

The bullet that entered Harding's neck and lodged in his head was from a .380-caliber handgun, a weapon that San Francisco officers do not carry, police said. A .380-caliber bullet was found in Harding's pocket, and he had gunshot residue on his hand, police said.

OK, this sack of human waste is wanted for a murder and is a convict for pimping a teenage girl. He tries to murder the cops arresting him and shoots himself in the process. Here in Houston we say "Thank pal for offing yourself and saying us the time and money" but in California a lawsuit if filed.

Again, in Houston this would be laughed out of court. I'm afraid this woman will actually win a judgement.
