Christina_Gonzalez's Blog

Hi Christina thanks for blogging, and I hope you and your co-worker are ok. I feel so bad for what happen to you and everyone else that was in the park that day. I can't wait till your 100% and back to doing to what you do best. I have nothing but respect for you as a person.

I’m sorry to hear that not everyone felt it was right what you did during the melee. I thought what you did was right. I also think it took a lot of guts to stand up for your co-worker/friend and to try and continue to do your job and report what was going on. Most wouldn’t have.

p.s. I always knew you were tough, even before took on the law. Check out my female fighter’s blog (evening news edition) I ranked you #1. Which makes you the champ. Just click on my screen name "samo714" and it should be the 3rd bolg topic on the list. If you have time check out the morning edition too. See what Jean, Elizabeth, Nischelle and Lisa B. have to say about their rankings.

very well.
Now please tell me, Christina, that my husbands hard earned money, our taxes, wont go to people that don't deserve it. People that will lie and exaggerate, to take advantage of our system. Please tell me that my children wont have less because our taxes are used to pay ridiculous lawsuits. Please tell me that our schools and teachers will be the ones who receive the money we WILLINGLY AND LAWFULY pay in our taxes. Please tell me that good, honest, deserving officers are'nt labeled "thugs with badges" because of a few. The same way good, honest Mexican people don't want to be labeled "illegal or beaners" because of a few.
So much attention to something blown up out of proportion. If mistakes where made, I have every confidence in our Mayor and Chief to make things right. But let it end there.
Do not take from deserving citizens, schools, etc.. to give to those UNDESERVING.

hi christina ,
im not denying the drastic measures the police had to take that day , but i feel alot is not being told either , it has now again became a race issue that is a sad but true reality even if people choose to close there eye's to it , i don't beleive in treating people badly ,but i think using this to get what you want is wrong too (im not talking about you but others who use this as a way to GAIN )i have heard people say OH YEAH ALL THOSE WHITE POLICE OFFICERS RUFFING UP THE PROTESTERS , WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO COME TO WHO'S RACE IS BETTER i don't feel im better than any other race , but i feel that you should be a citzen's if you want to stay here ,its not a personal vendeta against any race but it however is the LAW ....hope all is well for you :)

As I said before, I don't think this should be a race issue, but a tactical mistake by the lapd. Many people at the rally didn’t know what was going on and no one knew where to go. All they saw were a bunch of cops in a line walking towards them, pushing around innocent by standers, shooting rubber bullets and beating people with their batons. I would think seeing something like that would make anyone panic and add to the confusion. I don’t know how anyone could say that beating up a little 11-13 year old kid with batons from behind is perfectly alright. He was beaten down when he was doing what was told to do. Not only was he beaten down, but as he tried to get up to walk away, he was beaten down again, only to be dragged up by the neck. How is this in any way appropriate?

I also think Christina would know what the normal police procedures are towards the media. She is married to a former police officer, and has been reporting many stories like this for many years. So I believe her when she said that what they did isn't right. That the lapd were not following procedures.

I still believe they turned a small incident with a few anarchists, into a big chaotic scene. They should have dealt with the small incident in a more efficient way and let everyone else continue with their civilized protest.

I’m glad that the mayor is making sure that every officer that did wrong that day will be dealt with. I’m glad that the department saw the error in their ways and is now working on making it right.

Christina, you are a class act. We miss you very much. Feel better soon. I know our great city will soon sort all of this out. So keep the faith. Right will be right again and wrong will be corrected. We love you in the San Fernando valley, you are the talk of the town. I also guarantee that this would never happen to you here. Our police have that human touch that clearly Metro doesn't have. Your fans the mclaughlin family

im so sorry about your loss , i can understand how you feel grieving is something everyone should have a right to do i wouldn't want anyone in my face in your situation either , please know im truelly sorry :(

Chrstina you were just as disrespectful to our police as the other people were . I feel that if you wanted to do your job you should have stayed behind the police as they were trying to clear the streets of possible rioters. Why is it that when there is something going on the media always interferes with the work of the police ?? And that there is no concern about if you the media are endangering the public by getting in the way??? If i were in there i would of sued the media for putting more in danger. And as for the little bot who is suing the police for hurting is arm in the riot SHAME SHAME FOR THOS PARENTS THEY ALLOWED THEIR SON TO PARTICIPATE IN A VERY ADULT SITUATION THEY SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH CHILD ENDANGERMENT and the case should be thrown out of court !!!!! Oh wel it really does not matter what we common folk feel you and your crew will always have rights and the rights of the people are only suppose to be heard if the media gets involved. THAT IS SOOOOO SAD!!!! Oh well Christina god bless you and your family and remember your actions do affect all of us when you are out there reporting . JUST BE SAFE AND LET THE POLICE DO THEIR JOB .

about LAPD than I did about their own PD. I am not knocking law enforcement because I trained with them; I am just saying that there are rotten apples in every bunch.

Part II
which is nothing but a form of jealousy. My father grew up in rural Arkansas as a sharecropper and so did his parents and I can understand many or his views, but if a person has not had direct contact with racism to the extreme that my father did in the 1930’s then why display something that you do not know about. Get to know the person. My father saw his father killed by the Klan, but over the years, we have given him a dose of his own medicine that all looks ain't like, and slowly got him to realize (which deep down he knew) that all whites were not alike, because there are bad seeds or apples in every ethnicity. I have a problem with ignorant people not so much the color of their skin, just their mentality concerning certain issues such as the ones I observed on your show today.
