LAPD's Liberal Leadership Under Fire: Rookie Cop and Ex-Marine's Fatal DUI Christmas Tragedy Exposes Deep-Rooted Crisis
Nathan Rivero, 1/11/2025Liberal-led LAPD faces another disgraceful incident as rookie officer and ex-Marine Aaron Kleibacker kills innocent cyclist in DUI hit-and-run. This tragic Christmas Eve incident exposes the failed leftist policies destroying our police force's values and standards. We need real reform, not more woke politics!
In a disturbing development that underscores the ongoing crisis of accountability within law enforcement, a rookie LAPD officer — and former Marine — faces serious charges after allegedly killing a bicyclist while driving under the influence on Christmas Eve. This incident represents yet another example of the liberal establishment's failure to properly vet and maintain standards within our police forces.
Aaron Kleibacker, 39, demonstrated a shocking disregard for public safety when he struck and killed cyclist Fabio Cebreros, 38, on Bon View Avenue in Ontario. Even more troublingly — and in direct contradiction to the values he swore to uphold — Kleibacker initially fled the scene before returning, perhaps realizing the futility of escape.
Corp. Eliseo Guerrero, spokesperson for the Ontario Police Department, confirmed that Kleibacker's blood alcohol level exceeded legal limits — a devastating breach of trust for an officer sworn to protect and serve. The location of the incident, described by Guerrero as "a two-lane road with relatively little traffic" that "hasn't been a problem in the past," makes this tragedy even more inexcusable.
The LAPD's tepid response — merely confirming Kleibacker's continued employment while declining further comment — exemplifies the department's ongoing struggle with accountability under leftist leadership. This incident joins a troubling pattern of alcohol-related misconduct within the department, including the arrest of Lieutenant Matthew Ensley in April for a DUI incident that injured at least one person.
The liberal Police Commission's attempts to address this crisis through policy changes — such as lowering the acceptable blood-alcohol level for off-duty armed officers to 0.04% — clearly haven't gone far enough. Their reactive rather than proactive approach continues to put innocent lives at risk.
Kleibacker's status as a probationary officer means he could face immediate termination without the usual protections afforded to veteran officers — a rare opportunity for swift justice in a system often bogged down by bureaucratic red tape and union protections.
The victim, Fabio Cebreros of Chino, represents another tragic statistic in what has become an epidemic of law enforcement misconduct under progressive leadership. While we steadfastly support our brave men and women in blue, this incident highlights the critical need for stricter screening processes and a return to traditional values within our police departments.
This case — from the initial hit-and-run to the subsequent arrest and release on Christmas Day — demonstrates the urgent need for reform within California's law enforcement agencies. Not through the left's agenda of defunding and demoralizing our police, but through a return to the core principles of responsibility, accountability, and unwavering commitment to public safety that defined law enforcement during stronger, more principled times in our nation's history.
