“A quick trial and the death penalty” for those responsible for the ambush in which two LAPD officers were seriously injured on Saturday 12 September. The request arrived via Twitter, is from the president of the United States Donald Trump, which defined those responsible for the aggression of the “animals” to be hit “hard”. Even his rival in the race for the White House, Joe Biden, spoke of “inconceivable” violence and of culprits “to be punished”. In front of the hospital, meanwhile, several demonstrators have gathered to incite the death of the two policemen.

On Saturday afternoon, two deputy sheriffs ended up in what the authorities called “an ambush”. The ambush was recorded by security cameras: the video, released by the Police Department and also relaunched by President Trump in his tweet, shows a man who approaches the parked patrol car, draws a gun and shoots several times at the front seats on the passenger side. The attacker then quickly escapes. Seriously wounded, the two were operated on: one was allegedly hit by bullets in the face, the other in the head. They are a 31-year-old woman, mother of a 6-year-old boy, and a 24-year-old. Both were sworn in just 14 months ago.

“Let’s hope they die, let’s hope they die.” These are the words, accompanied by insults, addressed to the police by some demonstrators gathered outside the hospital in Los Angeles where the two officers are hospitalized. The incident is destined to inflame the electoral climate even more, already glowing, in the USA. According to a recent Fox News poll, the Biden-Harris pair is five points ahead nationwide over the Republican Trump-Pence: 51% to 46%. The poll is the first of conservative TV that also includes the running mates in preference votes. The gap, Fox points out, is close to the margin of error.

On Monday 14th Trump will go to Sacramento to personally assess the situation of the two policemen. Over the weekend he was in Nevada, where he spoke in front of his supporters, mostly without masks, who rushed to listen to him in the hangar of Minden airport. Here he touched on the key issues of his election campaign: the protection of the Second Amendment, which enshrines the right to bear arms, the security of the border between the United States and Mexico, the Baltimore riots and police violence, the attacks on his rival. Nevada in recent elections has always seen the Democrats win and once again the polls give Biden an advantage over the outgoing president. The state is one of many where registered voters can apply to vote by post. And Trump did not fail to contest it: “The Democrats are trying to rig this election because it is the only way to win,” he said amid applause.
