A Stanislaus County sheriff’s deputy was shot and killed in the line of duty Sunday, police said.
Sheriff Adam Christianson said that a Dep. Dennis Wallace, a 20-year veteran of the force, was shot twice at point-blank range around 8:30 a.m. while investigating a suspicious person and vehicle near a fishing access in Hughson, a city roughly 10 miles outside of Modesto.
“He was executed,” Christianson said. “We believe that Dep. Wallace was killed outside of the car and we know for a fact that the gun used in this crime was in direct contact with his head when the trigger was pulled twice.”
The suspect, who has been identified as 37-year-old David Machado, fled the scene and carjacked an escape vehicle in the nearby city of Ceres, Christianson said. He was later apprehended and brought into custody by police Sunday afternoon.
Wallace, 53, dedicated some of his time with the police force to working with early intervention, prevention and education programs. He leaves behind a wife and family, Christianson said.
“(Wallace) had a very special relationship with young people and a special place in our hearts at the sheriff’s office,” Christianson said.

Nope. Not buying it.
Anyone else ever notice that when some dude offs a pig and he is later apprehended the guy just gives up peacefully? “Yep. You got me. I’ll put my hands in the air. Hands up, don’t shoot.”
I mean, if your going to grease a cop execution style, why not keep going? Why stop at one?
Did he only have two bullets on him?
My guess is, the dead oinker pissed off his fellow badge wearing porkers somehow and got what was coming to him. Then they blame it on this Machado guy. Nice mustache by the way.
Why does the name Machado sound familiar?
Where was I? Oh yeah. Anyways, that line about ol Baconbadge having “a very special relationship with young people” is a dead give away. When I read between the lines it sounds like he raped someone’s niece or something and that’s why he’s dead now.
I mean, why throw that line in the article? A slightly veiled message perhaps.
It would have to be only slightly veiled, because I caught it.
i thought the exact same thing when McVeigh ”MURDERED” 168 people THEN ALLOWED himself to be pulled over and apprehended for no license plate.. horshit!! people who really do things like that, won’t let themselves be arrested.
If he’s confident that a revolution will erupt in this country, he may have surrendered to save his own life, hoping he’ll be freed when the heads start rolling, and that’s actually a good bet.
Prisons are often emptied when governments are toppled, and he may be waiting for that day.
You’re going to see incidents like this increasing. People are pissed, especially with the pigs, and you never know which act of petty harassment is going to provide “the final straw” (that breaks the proverbial camel’s back) and results in some speedy justice being delivered trough a pig’s cranium.
And if I had the chance, I’d let this guy go free.
I dunno, tc. There are a lot of people out there who hate the pigs just as much as we do here at FTTWR. A BS story can never be ruled out, but I don’t find these pig-slayings hard to believe.
Anyway, assuming it is true…GOOD. Two shots to the head sounds like condign punishment for twenty years of imposing the unjust whims of bought-and-owned politicians on a once proud and free people.
