That’s always their preferred course.

He played a LOT of GTA? So capping a copper in the front seat is just another non-reality practice to get high score.

Weird how when SWAT shows up his insanity didn't kick in then. Hope the scumbag chokes on a chicken bone in prison.

Sedan, is choking on chicken bones generally a possibility while incarcerated?

We don’t generally give them stuff with bones. Bones can be used to stab other inmates. I think I’ll give them bones!!! Lol!

All the other cell mates, because he should be on suicide watch? Wouldn't want him to choke . . . although there may be a serious street cred associated with the action.

I forgot to tell you guys & gals about the latest level of ridiculousness. My department is piloting a program in which we essentially FaceTime a motorist during or prior to conducting a traffic stop.........



....in a effort to make them feel more comfortable before we approach the vehicle.




This is where we are in modern policing. It's so ridiculous that it makes me want to leave patrol altogether (...although that is the plan anyway) and never look back.

That's dumb, I agree. But how would that even work, practically speaking? How can you possibly get everyone's phone number ahead of time? There's got to be enough "my number changed" or "this isn't my car" type of people on the road that it's a silly idea and other than checking the license plate and what info is associated with it, I'm at a loss how you could even facetime someone before you approach. And what if they have an android, no smartphone, or no phone?

Even if they had my number, it wouldn't ring. I usually have my ringer turned off and the only calls that come through are from a few select people.

Sounds like entrapment to me, making someone use their "smart" phone while behind the wheel where it is illegal in many states.....

More on this....


So it seems that the introduction of this approach to policing was all a byproduct of political handshaking. The father of the person who developed the app [that utilizes FaceTime] is associated with the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, so when he presented this to our department, our new Sheriff gave it the blessing because of who his father is. Apparently things aren't working out too well and it looks like this entire exercise will be scrapped. Thank God! Our union had issues with the implementation of all of this as well. All of this nonsense in the name of progressive policing; ideas presented by people who have never worked a day in law enforcement and who are prompted by ideologies and feelings rather than objectivity and reality.

It’s just another example of the kind of person he is. He’s a criminal apologist!

I managed to not gag while I watched his interview. Said he ran on a strict platform of no death penalty, but guarantees this person will never get out of prison, IF convicted.

DA should NOT be a political position. . .

Sedan, you weren’t shooting at range in Castaic, I hope!

No, we have a mobile range at my station and I do work it periodically. The range at NCCF is used by people who live or work in the northern part of the county. All mobile ranges have been shut down until further notice.

Is it more than a lined trailer? Seems like getting out once smoke started should be pretty easy

It’s more than just a lined trailer. It has pressurization built-in similar to those medical rooms for TB patients and lots of ventilation. When the fire started the pressure made it impossible to open the exit door. That’s how two of the four injured Deputies got trapped inside.

Dumb California question. Is this really true?????

"Senate Bill 357, which for all intents and purposes made prostitution legal because what it said is that officers can no longer contact people based on the idea of loitering for the purpose of prostitution. So, it basically tells the police your hands are off," Morrison said.
