Darren Sandberg: Questions Surround I.D.'ing Deputy Who Fatally Shot Marine Sergeant

• Murderer

•  I suggest you do your research first. According to all who knew him, Loggins was a quiet spoken model marine, a devout church man, was never deployed, was an admin NCO. He was respected and trusted by his officers and was a mentor to young Marines. He was a devout church man and father to three girls with another arriving after his death. He reported to work at 6:00 am, and often worked a 10 to 16  hour day. Making time to spend with the girls, he frequently took them for early morning walks at the high school track where they read discussed the Bible. My guess. I'm sure he was upset after hitting the gate which was usually open, wondered why it was locked, and went to see if anyone was on the track.I suspect that the girls were 'screaming' for their Dad because there was a policeman with a gun.

• I knew Loggins.  The stories aren't adding up here....

• People dont believe any version the OCDA shooting team or the OCSD puts out in press. There is so much corruption in both departments with a long history of false stories, cover ups, criminal activity in both departments who knows what to believe! Screw this Deputy just being on leave for this obvious screwed up shooting he should have been arrested and booked on ADW or 187 PC under color of authority!!! If he was anyone else he would have been booked and be in the OCJ with at least a 250 thousand dollar bail hanging over his head. This is a bad shooting anyway you slice it. The suspect was not 417 (man with a gun) was not 10-32 outstanding warrants and was with his children for god sake. Folks just stop and think about all the problems in the past 2 years alone with OC Law Enforcement and the OCDA Alone!!! Its one damn dirty scandal after another and they mount daily. These are the same folks that go out and arrest you and I and than get on the stand and testify against us!!! There are some damn serious problems in OC Law Enforcement and someone better damn well figure out why there is so much corruption in rank and file! This Deputy needs to be booked and incarcerated and the OCDA and the Sheriff needs to be thrown out on their ass for coruption. Remember folks whether they wear a uniform or not they are accountable and not above the law

•  John, this is called a "follow-up" to a story we (and everyone else) previously covered. Or would you prefer we keep reporting the same thing over and over and leave out anything new? That's why God invented TV news. No one from Patch puts me up to anything, but one reporter did thank me for the post. Thanks for the comment.

• Wait a minute: a man is shot to death in front of his kids and this article focuses on the inside-baseball who-got-the-guy's-name-first angle? You must be joking -- did the Patch reporters put you up to this?  Are they that desperate for recognition?

• Whatcha think?  Maybe he was there to kill his kids then himself.  At O-dark-thirty in the AM?  Would like to hear what the kid's mom have to say.

• Beloved Marine perhaps.  But what was he doing with his daughters in the early morning hours crashing through gates?  Kinda odd.  There is mkore to this story on BOTH sides.

• Yeppers a white bald headed jewish cop killing a black man.

• Why do cops get special recognition for preforming CPR on an elderly heat attack victim?  Paramedics and hospital personnel do that every day and they don't get medals or special commendations.   

• Sounds like this is a cop that should have only been allowed to work at those city council meetings.  If he were a fully capable police officer, he would not have killed a Marine.  Looks like another white cop killing someone of color because he thought he could get away with it. I get the feeling that this will turn out like that Oakland BART shooting where the officer shot the person for no reason.

• You reporters need to dismount from your high horses. This is not about "who's on first". We have 2 families here whose lives have been shattered.

• Oh, so we really dont know exactly why the trigger was pulled? Other than to protect the man's own children? What am I missing here? Isnt shooting at a man who has his kids in the car endangering them? Not like a cop cant miss a target could he?
