On November 29, 2019, shortly after 9 PM, Modesto Police Officers responded to the Motel 6 located at 1920 West Orangeburg Avenue in Northwest Modesto to assist a bail bondsman with taking a wanted subject into custody. The wanted subject was identified as 54-year-old Raymond Lee of Modesto. Lee had outstanding felony warrants. During the contact at the hotel room, Lee brandished a weapon towards officers. Two officers fired their weapons, striking Lee, who died at the scene from his injuries. It was later discovered that Lee’s weapon was a BB gun.

Again, they don’t think like us. I have three cops aiming guns at me and bet your kid’s college fund I won’t ever remember how to breathe, much less move and reach for anything. What was this? Suicide by Cop? “You’ll never catch me alive flatfoot!” You can get out of prison but from six feet gets trickier.

If they don’t give a damn about their lives, how much worth do you think they have for yours?
