Families of Fallen Deputies Express Anguish Over Lack of Death Penalty Pursuit

The mother of slain Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer is devastated that the district attorney is not pursuing the death penalty for her son's killer. Kim Clinkunbroomer expressed her outrage, stating that the suspect executed her son and that the decision not to seek the death penalty is a disgrace. The district attorney, George Gascón, reiterated his opposition to the death penalty, arguing that it does not serve as a deterrent. The suspect, Kevin Salazar, is charged with murder with special circumstances and could face life in prison without parole if convicted. The Clinkunbroomer family is coping with their grief while emphasizing the need for support and appreciation for law enforcement.
