In one of his last speeches as governor of California, Democrat Jerry Brown hit back at critics of his pet “sanctuary state” legislation who blame the now-former governor’s lenient immigration policies for the tragic shooting death of police officer Ronil Singh.
Singh was killed during a routine traffic stop in late December. Singh, a legal immigrant, pulled over a driver he suspected of being under the influence of alcohol, only to find the driver, Gustavo Perez Arriaga, was armed. Arriaga opened fire, killing Singh, and then fled, leading California authorities on a two-day cross-state manhunt.
