Yet another young, innocent life has been indiscriminately taken by those whose alleged mandate is to serve and protect. On Thursday, 18-year-old Andres Guardado worked as a security officer outside a body shop in Gardena, L.A. County when, according to a completely trustworthy and not at all suspect police spokesperson, the man flashed a gun for no apparent reason. The young man, they say, was Guardado, who they began to pursue. They fired instead, killing him at the scene.
