BREAKING: LAPD Special Detective BUSTED Buying THIS For His Gun From China
Los Angeles Police Detective Luke Walden has been charged with attempting to obtain a gun silencer that he allegedly purchased from China.
Walden was charged with one felony count of attempted possession of a silencer.
Detective Walden was last assigned to Gang and Narcotics Division.
He is scheduled to be arraigned on Dec. 7.
On April 22, 2021, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol intercepted a package from China that contained an illegal firearm silencer.
The address on the package matched one belonging to Walden.
Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore stated, “Reverence for the law is an unbending expectation of each member of this Department. The circumstances of this investigation trouble me greatly given the responsibilities of the involved detective.”
The Los Angeles Police Commission President William J. Briggs III stated, “The Los Angeles Police Department will not tolerate corruption at any level. The Board of Police Commissioners will do everything to ensure that the Department operates at the highest levels of integrity. The Commission will be directing the Office of the Inspector General to review the circumstances of this incident and cooperate with our State partners.”
“Any device that is intended to silence or muffle a firearm is illegal,” Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said. “This case is especially troubling given that the accused is a senior law enforcement officer.”
“Anyone who tries to circumvent our laws by trying to purchase such items overseas will be held accountable for their actions, no matter their profession,” he said.
Walden was arrested on November 15 and posted bail.
The case remains under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department.

Silencers are great because they protect your ears and makes it so your neighbors don’t get bothered by the loud bang when target practicing but something tells me this guy had other things in mind.
Just a hunch.
Now can we go after the freaking criminals who are terrorizing our cities?
One silencer- nice bust.
