Jason Bitz case

"I just want JJ back, that's all I want," said his sister, Krista Bitz, 24. "JJ was not a threat to anybody."

"I didn't think he was a cop," Toth said. "He had pajamas on."

23-year old, Jason Bitz was shot and killed Halloween morning during a confrontation with an off duty Santa Anna police detective. According to Bitz's sister, Jason was far from perfect. He grew up in a rough life, moving constantly from motel to motel with his mom and sister. Prior to his death, Jason had been arrested for charges of drug posession and driving a stolen vehicle. The detective who is yet to be identified, walked out of his home and saw Bitz trying to steal a van outside of his home. According to Garcia, the owner of the vehicle, he had given Jason permission to borrow the vehicle. The detective claims Bitz reached for his waistband before he shot him, but Bitz was unarmed. After the confrontation, the detective got in his car and chased after Bitz. AFter a few blocks, Bitz got out of the car and somehow got in the front seat of the detective's car. Bitz then reached for his waistband, causing the detective to fire four shots.  Bitz was shot multiple times in the chest and arm. The detective responsible for Jason's death returned back to work after briefly being placed on administrative leave. While the detective is back at work, Bitz's family is having a hard time dealing with their loss of "JJ."


I think it's so sad that Jason was killed when in truth, he wasn't doing anything to deserve to be killed. As an off duty police officer, the detective felt obligated to intervene in something he saw the could have been wrong. But that's what seems to wrong in a lot of cases nowadays. Before having any proof that someone is comitting a crime, the government comitts a crime their self. Jason was innocently going to a borrowed car adn the aggressiveness of the officer provoked him tor react the way he did. Something needs to be done to stop innocent people from being killed and police not being punished. The officer only got a slap on the wrist and wasn't punished for Jason's death. It's not for to Jason and his family for the grief they are going through right now.
