Louvell Mixon killed four police officers in Oakland, California, March 21. Thankfully, Louvelle, a parolee, won't shoot anyone else. The SWAT team killed him.
Prior to killing the four officers, Louvelle had amassed an extensive arrest record, including serving six years in prison for armed robbery. He had been linked by DNA to two rapes. Yet his family says Louvelle was "not a monster." Yeah, he sounds like a real sweetie to me, too!
Kind of makes you wonder about the implementation of the California three strikes law which mandates 25 years to life for a three-time felony offender. It sounds to me like Louvell, who was only 26, should have still been in prison.
