Body Cam Theater cannot, unfortunately always end in the way we want it to. While it is normally my focus to concentrate on dead thugs, this time a cop was wounded, and instead of being killed (like cops always do to minorities) the suspect was only arrested. This is part of our heroic LEO’s job, and this is just part of the danger of it.
This all happened in Boyle Heights, an area in Los Angeles that has been traditionally infested by Hispanic gangs, and is now condemning the “gentrification of the area,” which really means “civilization.” But all the thugs have not been chased out to scurry into whatever roach motels they could possibly inhabit. Here’s the latest incident. To prove civilization has not overtaken the criminal element that has been entrenched there since the 1930’s.
Police body camera video released Monday documents an exchange of gunfire between a fleeing gang member and an LAPD officer, who was left wounded in the incident that took place in Boyle Heights in November.
The footage shows the officer, identified as James Sigbisal, running toward the suspect then falling to the ground after getting shot in the arm.
The confrontation took place at around 7:08 p.m. Nov. 29, when Sigbisal and his partner, both Gang Enforcement Detail officers assigned to the Hollenbeck Division, were in a police vehicle patrolling the area of Malabar and Fickett streets. They observed a man — later identified as Nathan Alexander Tovar, 21, of Los Angeles — whom they recognized as a known gang member on formal probation, authorities said.
A gang member? I was told by the media that were no more of those in the area due to whites pushing them out. The mainstream media got it wrong?!?!?! I’m astonished!
The officer driving the patrol car slowed to a stop and Tovar started to run away, officials said. Sigbisal, who was in the passenger seat, got out of the car and started chasing Tovar on foot while his partner followed in the police car, said LAPD Capt. Gisselle Espinoza in a video released by the department Monday.
Tovar was running when he turned and shot Sigbisal, causing the officer to fall to the ground, Espinoza said. Simultaneously, Sigbisal shot at Tovar but did not strike him.
In Sigbisal’s body-worn camera footage, the driver officer can be heard asking, “Partner, where’d he go?” as Sigbisal responds, “He went westbound, bro. Hey, cover me, cover me, bro.”
The driver officer’s bodycam footage shows him finding Tovar lying on the ground with his hands up, with Tovar’s gun on the sidewalk a few feet away from him. The officers later recovered a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol from the scene, authorities said.
The officer can then be heard saying, “Officer down. I got the suspect,” and asking for additional units to respond to the scene.
“Dont f—ing move, a–hole,” the officer can be heard saying.
“I’m not f—ing moving, homie,” Tovar is then heard responding.
He’s NOT your homie, ese. You’re lucky he didn’t kill you where you were lying like the craven coward you are. Take a shot at someone then surrender? What a P.C. (protective custody) move. Yeah, I’m familiar with prison slang.
Additional officers can be seen arriving to the scene amid multiple calls for a tourniquet. He was then rushed to the back of a patrol vehicle and can be heard complaining of pain in his arm.
To bad they didn’t shove a baton up his “gangsta” ass so he could complain about that shit as well.
Sigbisal was transported to a local hospital and admitted for a gunshot wound. He was released the following day.
A photo released by the department on Nov. 30 appears to show the wounded officer being wheeled out of the hospital to a patrol car with several police officers standing by his side.
“Last night was a sobering reminder of the dangers police officers face when they put on the uniform — but they never shy away from protecting and serving their communities,” LAPD said on Instagram.
Authorities did not release the driver officer’s name.
Tovar was transported to the Metropolitan Detention Center where was seen by the jail doctor and subsequently transported to the USC Medical Center for a minor abrasion and complaint of pain to his arm. He was released shortly after and medically cleared for booking, authorities said.
On Dec. 3, 2019, the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office charged Tovar with one count of attempted murder on a police officer, three counts of discharging a a firearm causing great bodily injury, and one count of felon in possession of a firearm with gang enhancement.
A preliminary hearing is pending.
And he’ll probably get a lengthy prison sentence. But these Hispanic street gangs and the CA prison gangs are ultimately controlled by who? Why, the Mexican Mafia of course! He’ll be treated as a hero for shooting a cop. But maybe not. He also gave up like a pussy too. We’ll see. These guys are pretty discerning about the actions of their members and those under their control. And those that don’t conform . . . well . . . Nice knowing you. 🙂
And as for the civilization of Boyle Heights is concerned? Check this out. Another shooting!

AND, if your really curious to see what makes these people tick, their history, and how fucked up they are, watch this Youtube video from a Boyle Heights resident. He actually makes maybe two valid points, but the rest is victimization bullshit.
