I do not use TikTok, but, apparently, the 9-1-1 hand gesture was spread via this app. A retired cop friend of mine sent me the video. If you accidentally dial 9-1-1, do not hang up. Explain to the dispatcher that you called by mistake. If you hang up before explaining, the dispatcher will call you back, and if you do not answer that call, the dispatcher will send the police to you.
From a Nextdoor neighbor:
UPDATE** Last night around 8:30 PM [2-5-22], my sister and her friends (ages 12-13) were shot with gel bullet guns (not pellet guns my mistake!) while walking to the local Starbucks by Rocklin High School. These teenage boys drove up in two cars and started shooting at them and laughing. The police officials were called and are now aware of this situation. THIS IS NEVER OKAY. My sister and her friends are now terrified and have bruises from the pellets. This is not the first time this incident has occurred in this area. If anyone has information or knowledge of this situation, please let the police authorities know. Another neighbor said, “What those kids used was a paintball gun; it uses compressed air in a tank and fires these .68 cal paintballs. They are very fast and hurt when you get hit, like getting snaps from a rubber band. They could put your eye out. I was hit by some last week while on my walk.” Yet another neighbor said, “I just saw the news on TV. It’s part of a TikTok challenge. They are targeting pedestrians. This is unacceptable! I’m so sorry this happened to her.” I have advised all my students not to use TikTok. As the statute of limitations approached on the brutal beating, a smart assistant district attorney, David Waymire, indicted DNA. The genetic marker was in a single drop of blood at the crime scene. I didn’t know DNA could be indicted. That and hypnotherapy by a forensic psychologist located the suspect. He pled no contest.

The victim was inside his residence, when he heard the sound of a saw cutting metal near the front of his house. The victim looked outside and saw two subjects standing near his work truck. The victim yelled at the suspects, and they got into a vehicle and fled. The victim described the suspect vehicle as a white Acura sedan. Responding patrol officers spotted a vehicle, several blocks from the incident, that matched the description provided by the victim. Officers made a traffic stop on the vehicle, in the 2700-block of Fourth Street. A search of the vehicle revealed a Sawzall (commonly used to cut catalytic converters), new and used saw blades, extra vehicle jacks, suspected methamphetamine, and other burglary tools. The driver was identified as David Ponce, a 30-year-old, Santa Rosa resident. The passenger was identified as Claudia Granadero-Rivas, a 28-year-old, Santa Rosa resident. Based on the call for service, witness statements, and evidence located, Granadero-Rivas was arrested and booked into the Sonoma County Jail on the below charges. Granadero-Rivas’ bail was set at $110,000. 182(a)(1) PC – (Felony) Conspiracy to Commit a Crime 594(b)(1) PC – (Felony) Vandalism 664 / 487 PC – (Felony) Attempted Grand Theft 466 PC – (Misdemeanor) Possession of Burglary Tools 1203.2 – Violation of Probation/Pre-Trial Release Terms out of Marin County (two counts) Misdemeanor Warrants – 2 Warrants out of Marin County Based on the call for service, witness statements, and evidence located, Ponce was arrested and booked into the Sonoma County Jail on the below charges: 182(a)(1) PC – (Felony) Conspiracy to Commit a Crime 594(b)(1) PC – (Felony) Vandalism 664 / 487 PC – (Felony) Attempted Grand Theft 466 PC – (Misdemeanor) Possession of Burglary Tools Granadadero-Rivas has been arrested in Sonoma County at least four times in the past year for thefts involving catalytic converters: 9/27/2021 SRPD 21-10840 496(a) PC / 182(a)(1) PC / 466 PC Arrest 6/6/2021 SRPD 21-6097 182(a)(1) PC / 466 PC / 12022.1(a) PC Arrest 5/24/2021 SCSO 210524010 487 PC / 1203.2 PC Arrest 2/22/2021 PPD 21-771 487 PC / 496 PC / 1203.2 PC Arrest Catalytic converter theft has been a significant issue facing our community and the SRPD Property Crimes Team has dedicated time and resources into addressing this problem. In 2021, there were 345 cases of reported catalytic converter thefts, a 159% increase from 2020 (133 cases). If you catch someone stealing a catalytic converter, CALL SRPD (707-528-5222 or 9-1-1) immediately. Provide suspect and vehicle descriptions. If you have been a victim of catalytic converter theft, report the incident online at SRCity.org/ReportACrime and include any photographs of home surveillance footage. Media inquiries may be directed to Sergeant Christopher Mahurin at (707) 975-0129 or cmahurin@srcity.org. SRPD Case number 22-23. This is a Latin phrase meaning “what one has earned”. In the context of contract law, it means “reasonable value of services”. What does it mean in terms of the Catholic faith? Is there a zero measurement of what one has earned? Null is a merit, or, at least, not a demerit under the 7th Commandment.

US Forest Service, Supervisory Special Agent (Retired) FOP Lodge #37 LEOSA Coordinator DHS Law Enforcement Instructor What are the details? The unnamed off-duty Baltimore police officer was getting a haircut . . . when 38-year-old Carlos Ortega burst into the Bladi Style barbershop in East Baltimore and fatally shot the barber, 33-year-old Rafael Jeffers. Video surveillance captured the moment [when] the officer, who was armed and in plain clothes while off duty, quickly jumped to his feet and "with great bravery produced his firearm," according to Police Commissioner Michael Harrison. The assailant killed the unsuspecting target on Nov 15, 2021. The sergeant returned fire, killing the assailant. The video is too violent and graphic to post. What does doxxed mean? I didn’t know. It happens when a person’s information, such as phone and address, is made public with malicious intent. I found out what it means in connection with J.K. Rowling. Rowling was doxxed and death threats were sent to her because she said something a certain community did not like. Criminal? Yes.
If I were famous and read by millions, I would be doxxed. Facebook put me, a nobody, in jail for three weeks in 2020. I had been so careful to avoid politics, but my diligence failed when algorithms did not like my despicable utterance, which was one sentence long: “The 2020 election was pitiful.” I righted myself by leaving all social media in 2021. I would not assign students anything Rowling writes, but her right to free speech is important. Apparently, the only people who will defend free speech are not part of the violent leftist mobs and their government promoters occupying world capitals, including Washington and Sacramento, globalist communists in it for power and profit. Several friends who fled Vietnam and several friends/acquaintances who fled Nicaragua mean something. I’m guessing you have a few who fled from somewhere, too. America is the last refuge, and she will not fall, because traditional people will stand. What is the strength of the mother-son relationship? There are countless reports of men dying on the battlefield whose last words were, “Tell my mother I love her.” The first woman he falls in love with is his mother. A son would take a bullet for her and is the gritty DNA of a man. The same applies to a police partner.

As usual, Sundays cause me to write. In today’s parable [parabolam in Latin], Matt. 11, 24-30, the word zizania is translated as cockle. Sounds like the flower called zinnia. What is a cockle? 1) Any of several weedy plants of the pink family and 2) any of various chiefly marine bivalve mollusks having a shell with convex radially ribbed valves. The latter are edible, the former are not edible, at least not the seeds - mmm - poison - murder. Why is the parable relevant? The servants of the good man said, “Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it cockle?” He said, “An enemy hath done this.” The servants said, “Wilt thou that we go and gather it up?” He said, “No: lest perhaps gathering up the cockle you root up the wheat also together with it. Suffer both to grow until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest, I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn.” Ah, so we must suffer the presence of cockle with the wheat until the end of the world. Then, the wheat will be gathered and brought into the Kingdom of Heaven and the cockle burned. Of course, there is a personal judgment before the end comes. That answers the question we ask when a crime has been committed, “Is there any justice?”  zinnia
Action occurred at 12:12 AM. Suspect wanted on several Felony warrants in three different counties was chased and taken down by K9. She was placed in Placer County Jail after being treated for minor dog bites. Suspect was driving dangerously and erratically at unsafe rates of speed and was believed to be under the influence. After a high-speed chase with suspect losing control of the vehicle, she exited and fled, officers in pursuit. She was held at gunpoint, then kicked the officers, and tried to run again. That is when the K9 was deployed. Now, suspect faces more charges. K9 officer's job - well done. Below is a picture of Echo, Search & Rescue Dog, not involved in the action, but a real trooper. Law Enforcement calls in Search & Rescue dogs to help with rescues of people in life-or-death situations, and these dogs train with Law Enforcement dogs and their trainers.  I have watched plenty of interviews of crime targets. Frequently, the target is asked if he/she forgives the assailant. My reaction is always the same. I want to counsel the target to say, “Forgiveness is between me and God. You don’t need to know.” One writing prompt for students is, “Have I asked God’s help to forgive someone? Write about it.” For young students, this situation may not have arisen, but for every adult forgiveness becomes a challenge. My faith tells me that God will forgive me according to the measure I have forgiven others, all others. In life, one gets two choices: do what is right or do what is wrong. As the end nears, the choices are bumped up to three: heaven, purgatory, or hell.
Adriana and I amused each other over the idea of shooting tranquilizing darts at those about to receive unworthily. Immobilizing them right before communion would save their souls. There is a hapless individual who is not Catholic and receives, and today, he was admonished. I'd rather see wayward politicians be darted. Only if they were near the end of the communion line would we succeed. Ketamine takes effect in 3-4 minutes.
Postcommunion prayer for Sept 5, 2021. Candice DeLong, former FBI profiler and host of Deadly Women on cable's ID channel, says the most common reasons for murder are money, jealousy, and revenge. My stories have touched on all three. Here, sensus is translated as impulses, which makes sense.  Business Owners Hoodwinked Into Building Makeshift Housing for the Homeless
December 31, 2020 By Erica Sandberg With the Covid-19 shutdown dragging on for months, and business owners and employees struggling to stay afloat, San Francisco’s restaurants, cafés, bars, and fitness centers were permitted to create patios, or “parklets,” so that they could operate outdoors. This option offered a critical lifeline. Running the gamut from modest to elaborate, the parklets soon became ubiquitous. They stretched by the hundreds along sidewalks and into streets and alleyways in every district in the city. Small-business owners and their staffs finally had some revenue coming in, and their communities rejoiced in any semblance of normal life returning. Then, on December 6, the doors were abruptly shut on outdoor dining and health clubs. Business owners were forced to abandon the parklets that they had painstakingly designed and constructed. Many had decorated them beautifully for the holidays, counting on operating until Christmas. Since San Francisco hospitals were not overrun with Covid patients, California had given restaurants and gyms at least a few weeks to continue serving the public. Nonetheless, San Francisco mayor London Breed and public-health director Grant Colfax preemptively closed the parklets with a Stay at Home order. Almost overnight, activity in the now-abandoned spaces changed dramatically. “My parklets are now being used as bathrooms,” says Brian Cassanego, owner of The Wine Jar and Noir Lounge. “Some guy was camping in one. I find empty cans of beer, needles. The parklets have become homeless shelters and drug dens. Even when we deep clean, which will cost us more money, who will want to sit in them when we are allowed to come back?” Cassanego is asking neighbors to keep watch over his parklets when he can’t be there. He’s hesitant to board them up completely, explaining that it would make the city look awful. “It’s heartbreaking,” he says. “It’s hard to fight back, to get up and plan for another day. Pre-pandemic, I got threatened with $1,000 fines if I didn’t clean up homeless messes. They’re beating restaurants down.” The city has approved $5,000 grants to reimburse small-business owners who invested in parklets, but the funds are not for everyone—they appear to “prioritize minority-owned businesses and businesses that advance the City’s equity goals.” Even if Cassanego turns out to be eligible, the cash will fall short. Before the cold weather started, he spent $2,000 on heaters and had a roof constructed to fit over the tables—for another $5,000. All told, the parklets set him back upward of $15,000. With his business closed, Cassanego’s bills and debts are piling up. Empty parklets across the city are becoming magnets for transient people. A large percentage of those experiencing homelessness suffer from substance-abuse disorders or psychological illnesses. Rory Cox, CEO of Yubalance Fitness and founder of San Francisco Small Business Alliance, says that frightening incidents are occurring. For example, when one business owner asked a person not behaving rationally to leave the parklet, the person sprayed him in the face with pepper spray; the business owner spent five hours in the emergency room. Used syringes are frequently found inside the structures. Vandalism too, is a burgeoning problem, so when the businesses are permitted to reopen, expensive repairs will be necessary. *** Erica Sandberg is a widely published consumer-finance reporter based in San Francisco and the author of Expecting Money: The Essential Financial Plan for New and Growing Families. As a community advocate, she focuses on homelessness and crime and safety issues. This article was originally published by City Journal Online. Story from Lawenforcementtoday.com
Posted by: Lynn Vance|November 24, 2020|Categories Featured, News SEATTLE, WA – How’s this for irony? The Seattle City Council passed the 2021 budget. Included in their new budget plan was a 20% cut to the Seattle Police Department. Meanwhile, as the council was busy restructuring and planning, two people were stabbed. Yet they still voted to cut police funding in an 8-1 vote. As the Seattle City Council met to discuss the budget on Monday, a man stabbed a woman to death in Belltown just before 11 a.m. According to police, the woman was a caseworker at the apartment building, which is operated by Plymouth Housing and serves formerly homeless people. Her identity has not yet been released and no motive has yet been determined. Defunding the Police Experiment Begins in L.A. edited - full story at
http://www.capoliticalreview.com/top-stories/defunding-the-police-experiment-begins-in-l-a/ Last week the Los Angeles Police Department laid out plans to deal with a smaller budget forced on the LAPD in part by a $150 million cut as a result of the police reform movement. LAPD Chief Michael Moore announced cuts in air support, robbery homicide and gang and narcotics divisions. Additionally, desk hours at police stations would be reduced, manned only during weekday hours. The police will stop investigating automobile accidents with minor injuries involved and will require accident reports to be filed online. Perhaps, most significantly, the LAPD sworn officer core will be reduced from 10,110 to 9,752. Having 10,000 officers was a goal for the police and many past mayoral administrations. Police officer representatives are painting a dire outcome for the cuts to public safety. Craig Lally, president of the Police Protective League, told the Los Angeles Times that the new proposals and cutbacks will be a “catastrophe for the safety” of citizens. Lawenforcementtoday.com
By Patrick Henry October 19, 2020 Several media sources, including Breitbart News, are reporting that one of the founders of the Marxist-leaning organization disguised as a civil rights movement [Black Lives Matter] has signed a production deal with Warner Bros. Television Group to produce content across that company’s platforms. According to a release, the contract signed between Warner Bros. and Patrisse Cullors includes programming from animation to scripted and unscripted projects and digital projects. Variety reports that the content will be available on the group’s streaming services, TV, and film. Not scary enough for you? Read on. Defunding the police is the least of Cullors’ radical ideas. She has called through Black Lives Matter for the elimination of all federal police agencies, including the DEA, FBI, ICE, and Border Patrol and so on. She also advocates the “Breathe Act,” which would essentially close all federal prisons and detention facilities. |
