West Coast rapper Game's manager Wack 100 has some thoughts on the California ambush on Los Angeles County deputies. The hip-hop manager has warned people to expect potential aggression and retaliation by law enforcement.
Wack 100 Warns of Retaliation
The hip-hop executive went to his Instagram page to unload his thoughts. Despite wishing a recovery for the officers, Wack also acknowledged what could happen as a result of the shooting.
“A gang is a group of people that represent the SAME CAUSE – Now I want all to understand what we do when the opp hits one of us & we can’t identify who it was. We blanket and move on everything that could of did it. In this case it’s US that will get the blame. So prepare yourselves for the change in temperament and aggressiveness. STAY WOKE , MOVE RIGHT & DON’T go to church now if your applauding this – MY Blessings to the officers families and my blessings to the man on foot #WadeINTheWater #West👆🏾” -Wack 100’s Instagram
LA Deputies Shot
According to reports, an unnamed gunman remained at large following the Saturday shooting. A search has continued for the person responsible for shooting two deputies multiple times and critically injuring them.
The officers were shot at the MLK Transit Center, a Metro station in Compton around 7 p.m. local time on Saturday, the authorities said.

Alex Villanueva, the Los Angeles County sheriff, said the two deputies were sworn into office 14 months ago. (New York Times)
