A memorial service was held in Ontario Thursday for Baldwin Park Police Officer Samuel Riveros, who was fatally shot while responding to a shooting call last month.
Riveros, 35, a nine-year department veteran, was shot and killed May 31 while responding to a home where another victim, 43-year-old Darius Wong — a married father of two — was also fatally shot.
Thursday’s memorial service at Toyota Arena in Ontario, which was not open to the public, was attended by family members, Baldwin Park Police Chief Robert Lopez, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman and Bishop Carl Besaw. They were joined by local, state and federal law enforcement officials, along with friends and relatives of Riveros, to honor his life and service.
A private burial followed.
Lopez, Baldwin Park’s police chief for the past five years, said he usually walks onto stages for things like cadet graduations.
“My walk today is a sad one,” he said, adding that he was on hand to honor “a fallen hero who lost his life in a hail of gunfire.”
It was the first line of duty death for the Baldwin Park police department, he said.
“The sadness and grief that followed (Riveros’ death) cannot be measured in words,” Lopez said.
“To his family, there is that nothing I can say or do that will relieve the sadness and pain you feel in your hearts, but know that Sam truly loved you all,” the chief continued.
He said Riveros “served with honor and integrity,” embodying the department’s values, and had an infectious smile and was an inveterate Los Angeles Dodgers fan who would even travel to their away games.
The suspect in the shootings, 22-year-old Eduardo Roberto Medina-Berumen, was wounded in a gun battle with Riveros and other officers. He was ordered held without bail and is awaiting arraignment July 31.
At his court appearance on June 11, Medina-Berumen appeared in a wheelchair and agreed to postpone the arraignment at the request of his public defender.
The murder charges against him include special-circumstance allegations of multiple murders and murder of a peace officer that could open him up to a possible death sentence if convicted as charged.
Medina-Berumen is also charged with one count of possession of an assault rifle and two counts of attempted murder involving other Baldwin Park police officers, including Officer Anthony Pimentel, who was wounded when he was hit by shards of glass that came from a bullet that investigators believe hit a windshield.
Riveros was part of a response dispatched at 7:15 p.m. on May 31 to the 4200 block of Filhurst Avenue, a few blocks east of the San Gabriel River (605) Freeway, about a man with a rifle firing shots, the sheriff’s department reported.
Pimentel and fellow officer Alfredo Leal arrived at the scene first in separate cars and were “immediately fired upon by this suspect who had a rifle,” according to Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna.
“An officer-involved shooting occurred at that time and Officer Pimentel was injured as a result of the suspect’s gunfire,” Luna said, adding that Riveros arrived soon after and he was “tragically struck by the suspect’s gunfire and unfortunately that ended up being a fatal gunshot.”
Other Baldwin Park police officers who subsequently arrived at the scene were involved in a “second volley” of gunfire in which “the suspect went down,” according to the sheriff.
Arrogant stupidity ignorance lack of training these are the things that this officer went through. If they would have trained him with more than a 21 week of how to handle a gun. He would have been prepared for a scenario like this and it would have been one that came out on the other side. But the lack of training and the transfers around the world hell they’ll never get any education and law enforcement at 30 million dollars a day.

But to find one of the uneducated law enforcement in the United States of America with a non-commissioned license that’s not broke it’s very rare because each and every one of them was 50 million dollars in the Bank, Broken and looking for the next paycheck.
Whenever the Attorney General has reasonable cause to believe that a violation has occurred, the Attorney General, for or in the name of the United States, may in a civil action obtain appropriate equitable and declaratory relief to eliminate the pattern or practice.
Types of misconduct covered include, among other things: Excessive Force, Discriminatory Harassment, False Arrest, Coercive Sexual Conduct, Unlawful Stops, Searches, or Arrests. And only if he feels that there’s a violation. “IF” is the Word.

At some point you have to understand you’ve been brainwashed for this this long up to this point because of the fact that the world has to destroy the nation long before it can do anything in the world because this used to be the United States of America the land of the brave and the home of the free. And 1855, the British sacked the White House and burnt it to the fucking ground and America was lost at that point because it became the Land of the Dead in the home of the corruption. Where I feel that we can all learn from my mistakes to set the better path forward as the global Federation of many nations of many galaxies. Where we learn from our past mistakes so we don’t have to get burnt for them
