  1. Terribly scary, but the fact that the steering wheel was locked by a club security device is comedy gold.

  2. Will this affect his transfer to Liberty University? 😏

  3.  @michaelquon1754  Chromebomb’s statement isn’t inconsistent with the video. It’s the truth. The man protecting her might have saved her life, but there were still people pepper spraying her and punching her while he held her and was (presumably) hustling her out of there. If you don’t think that’s insane, that says everything about you. If you don’t see the viciousness and immorality of beating someone who can’t fight back, you’re a psychopath and everyone around you needs to be far away from you for their own safety.

  5.  @lookoutforchris  Who has a phone shaped like a pistol? That’s a firearm and the Officer was a split second away from being shot.

  6. I don’t know why anyone would want to miss this thrilling death defying pursuit in its entirety, but you can skip ahead to 11:45 to see the arrest.

  7. You’re out of line. You don’t know if the perpetrator had or hadn’t served his debt to society for his previous crimes. His drunk driving conviction was in 2007. He was driving on a suspended license. He had a FTA warrant. These are all HIS failures, and have nothing to do with the court system. Stop using other peoples’ tragedies to score your anti-government political points.

  8. I saw this footage last night in a different report. It’s clear from the video that the dead man had a weapon in his waistband that he drew during the struggle and that he was a split second from shooting the officer. In the comments of that report were many claiming it was a cellphone. People see what they want to see, but who keeps their phone tucked into their waistband? San Bernardino LE has a reputation for racism, and that has to end. However, this video is not evidence of police abuse of power. There’s plenty of shit to protest without losing credibility by going after a justifiable shooting.

  9. I don’t think it was the speed so much as the wall was stationary. If that wall was moving at the same speed and same direction as the truck, these people would still be alive. There’s also the angle angle. If the wall had been built at an angle, the truck would have glanced off of it, like a bullet ricochet. Probably only the victim in the passenger seat would have died. I admit I’m not an angle expert, despite being born in Los Angles. I got a C in trig. Are there any engineers out there that can discuss oblique and acute angles to break down this crash? Anyway, my main point is that it was PHYSICS that caused this fatal crash, but most people are avoiding that discussion and blaming the victims. PHYSICS KILLS, and society seems all right with that. We can put a man on the moon, but we can’t seem to stop people dying in car crashes. I think it’s time to investigate BIG PHYSICS.

  10. Threatening speech crosses the line. If it’s true that this expelled student made threats or implied them, then he has no place on a college campus. But there’s also the matter of his participation in the attempt to overthrow the government. The University doesn’t have to wait for his case to be judged in a courtroom: The evidence of his participation is clear. State universities are allowed to institute their own codes of conduct, and they are allowed to institute their own enforcement of those codes.

  11. Sounds like 1) bad blocking, 2) a problem or mistake by the weaponsmith, and/or 3) a mistake by the stunt coordinator. Bad blocking can mean a bad plan or can mean bad execution (including the actor not hitting his marks). The DP is involved in setting up the blocking, and it’s possible she was not were she was supposed to be when the firearm was discharged. It’s possible Baldwin didn’t hit his mark when he discharged the weapon. There’s also the chance that Baldwin was fucking around, but the AD, the gunsmith, the stunt coordinator, the director should have put an immediate stop until the problem was resolved.

  12. This doesn’t look good for the resource officer. Shooting at a fleeing suspect? He will need to prove that he had reasonable fear for his own life. If the car was trying to run him down, he’d have justification. But driving away as he approaches from the side? Also, shooting in a high school parking lot right after school seems questionable. Pray for the injured girl, thank God no one else was hurt.

  13.  @geoffrey1012  They’re psychologically spoiled children. Their moral development is at about the level of a spoiled demanding four year old. Those that are bosses are the type that crap in their hand and want you to sniff it and tell them it smells good. None of them thought they were doing anything wrong until they got arrested. Now half are defiant, the other half trying to weasel out of it. These people have adult bodies, but THEY ARE INFANTS.
    8
  14. That is likely what the shooting investigation will find and recommend. But seriously, police officers have to be aware of what’s behind the target. If it’s a wall that might conceal innocents, they have to choose their shots accordingly. The bad guys have no such limitations in a gunfight.

  18. Oh, the legal costs will hurt, but they won’t ruin most of these yuppie fascists. All those blue collar working class schmoes with economic anxiety that the Dems are accused of ignoring? Turns out they’re business owners and professionals with 6+ figure salaries. So much downtrodden, such economic struggle.

  20. This has nothing to do with environmentalism and everything to do with NIMBYism. The freeway has been blocked since the 70s by the City of South Pasadena, an upper class suburb of L.A. However, the residences of South Pas have a point: the Freeway would have split the city in half. There were other proposals, such as tunneling under South Pas, but they fought that, too.

  21. And the votes are being counted. The bunch of crap is your not understanding the basis upon which news networks call elections. That basis is called math.

  22. His DUI conviction was in 2007. He was driving on a suspended license. This was all in the video. What was his punishment in 2007 that you think was too lenient? The fact is, some people are going to continue making shitty life decisions regardless of how severely they are punished. This guy is one of those people.

  23.  @garyhoover9983  don’t forget hockey stick. Why would anyone with peaceful intentions bring that to a riot? Was he hoping that a hockey game would break out?

  24. The extreme right disparages common decency and respect for others as politically correct and feign horror at “cancel culture” when there are consequences for shouting racial epithets. Yet at the same time, the extreme right will attack, smear, and cancel anyone who says or does something that hurts Trump’s fragile feefees (or their own). I’m not sure it’s fair to call them hypocrites, since that would require self awareness. They sure do have thin skin, yet they demand others stop being so sensitive. The issue here wasn’t the school’s athletic program rejecting the athlete because of his language. It was his teammates. At some point you will understand that decent people don’t want to be around unAmerican racists and bigots. If you don’t like it, leave and form your own country where you have total liberty to do what you want without respect for others.

  27. Do you support them without understanding the issue merely because they’re truckers? I suspect they have a just cause here, but their occupation doesn’t make it automatic. And please stop with the veiled threat of starving society. Truckers don’t actually grow food. If they don’t want to transport it, others will. Farmers grow food and if they decide to stop, someone else will grow it. I’m fine with their right to protest. If they want to engage in civil disobedience and accept the consequences, I won’t try to stop them. This seems nothing like the freedom convoy jagoffs.

  30. For some, rage is a thrill seeking behavior. It gives them an adrenaline rush. And for some of those, just like some drug addicts, they seek greater highs with increasingly outrageous behavior. They begin to look for justifications and excuses, even as their anger response becomes more and more disproportionate. And here is the thing: they hide this behavior from those closest to them, just as some addicts and alcoholics do with their friends and loved ones.

  31. I’m looking forward to it, too! La Familia Dodger vs La Familia Enano, game 5 is going to be great. But why you always gotta talk about money? You’d think that the Bay Area was poor, not one of the richest places in the world. It’s highly ironic that you’re trying to frame this rivalry as the “scrappy poor kids” vs the “the stuck up rich kids”. How is it our fault if the Giants ownership are greedy tightwads while the Dodgers are willing to pay players what they’re worth? Besides, you’re missing the “nerds vs popular kids” angle. Can we just admit that whoever wins this game, the real enemy is Houston?

  34. Yeah, it’s not the wacky messages on the car. This is Southern California. Plenty of wackos with weird messages on their vehicles driving around everyday. It’s not something extremely rare to see, plus it’s Hollywood. I’m not saying that mental illness played no part in this incident.

  39. “Captain, the suspect says he won’t negotiations unless we give him some crack.” ”Sargent Murphy! You keep crack in your patrol car for sprinkling on deceased suspects, do you not?” “Yes, sir.” ”Go get it. We might need it sooner rather than later. Oh, and Sargent?” “Yes, sir?” ”Bring me back a couple of fat rocks, too.”

  40. Hahahaha, that’s a clever joke.

  41. The courts support a pretty broad definition of an officer fearing imminent threat of death, but a car driving away from the resource officer probably doesn’t fit that definition. Unless there is something we didn’t see, such as the car occupants pointing a firearm, this is (probably) going to have very serious consequences for the officer, especially if the girl dies.

  42. Yes, it’s constitutionally protected and the Supreme Court as affirmed this. (Also religious gatherings.) It’s still dumb as heck and counter to the protestors own supposed aims. They’re prolonging the pandemic with these actions. The longer these infants refuse to make the minor sacrifice of their convenience, the worse the virus will spread and the longer it will take the economy to recover. I like to imagine that if the virus spread from farts, these same people would claim that pants are a communist plot.

  43. They’re doubling the fine for masks, but are they doubling the penalties for disruptive and violent passengers?

  44. I completely agree. Were you around ten years ago during the “Taco Truck War”, when the brick and mortar restaurants were trying to get the taco trucks shut down? The taqueros all got together, hired legal representation, and fought like hell for a licensing and inspection system that would allow them to operate their businesses. They answered every issue thrown at the, with a solution. It’s not just a matter of being mad at the one guy stealing business and not playing by the rules, either. If the unlicensed vendor (who isn’t getting regularly inspected because he can fly under the radar) causes sickness due to unsanitary conditions, ALL the taqueros get blamed. The food truck program works successfully because the County Board of Health makes the permit holders accountable. This one scofflaw could put this at risk with one salmonella outbreak.

  45. PITs are not as effective on larger vehicles. There’s also the issue of higher center of gravity—a PIT maneuver might send a tall profile vehicle tumbling unpredictably, possibly into oncoming traffic.

  46.  @dac518  Your anti-social behavior infringes on the rights of others to pursue their own lives, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. If the police are increasing in power, it’s because of people like you, thinking they can do whatever the fuck they want without consequence. If you don’t want to live by the rules and norms of society, you should go far away from humanity and do whatever you want in isolation.

  48. I did too, and not because I’m a Newsom supporter. I’m a democracy supporter, and this recall was an attempt by the few to disenfranchise the many.

  49. When many accidents occur in the same place year after year, and the local authorities do not respond despite pleas by residents for changes to the road design, then yes, there is a greater blame on the city, D.O.T., or whatever agency has jurisdiction over roads in North Hills. Someone is responsible for a larger problem that contributes to these individual cases. Is it really that hard to understand?

  50. Glad to hear that, Drool. This isn’t what’s going on here in this shooting. A different agency is investigating the sheriff’s deputy. LAPD and LASD are not known to be chummy organizations. Maybe you should restrict yourself to topics you know something about.

  55. The thing about pistols is that they take a split second to draw and aim. The firearm was already drawn and in hand—that represents an immediate threat to the officer. If the dead man had held a knife or machete in this situation (and wasn’t an immediate threat to others), the shooting wouldn’t have been justified. The dead man brought about his own demise, but we should still mourn his death. We should never just accept police killing anyone but in this case the sheriff’s deputies were justified.

  56. No, there are other possible causes. A live round is highly unlikely. Think of this as a “less than lethal” round that accidentally kills the target.

That’s like telling a counterfeiter to sell his printer. That sounds bad, let me change it up. It’s like telling a telemarketer to sell his phone.

  66.  @musashi-san____1409  You get shoved really hard and trip over your feet, you can bash your head in and never wake up. But even just scrapping, there’s a chance you can get seriously injured—you don’t know what can happen. I once got socked in the nose so hard I lost my sense of smell for 6 months, and it never came back completely. That wasn’t the last time I scrapped with a guy, but I think that’s when I started to realize how dumb it was.

  72. The first lockdown was successful, but reopened too soon. Remember, the goal was to “flatten the curve” so that the health system wouldn’t be overwhelmed, and buy time for the medical experts to figure out the virus. It was to buy time until the federal government could come up with an effective coordinated response. But the primary goal was to avoid a melt down of the hospital system. And now with cases spiking (as we were warned) and the virus spreading like wildfire, we have to do it again. It didn’t have to be like this, but stupid, selfish people turned refusing to wear a mask into some weird political statement. Delusional people refused to believe the virus existed, or minimized its threat. Very childish people put their convenience (which they equate with liberty) over the health and welfare of their communities and their own families.

  73.  @sjb3460  You’re getting it! You’re connecting the dots, which is almost math (geometry), and math is almost physics. But you get it—this physics conspiracy goes back Millenia, maybe even billions of years? I don’t know, I’m not a physicist. All I know is that we are being tyrannized and terrorized by the Laws of Physics. I did not vote for these laws. We should refuse to be governed by them, but it’s like if we don’t follow the Laws of Physics, Physics will have us killed or injured. That’s intimidation, and I’m not sure how much longer I can take it. (And I’m not stoned, I’m just working on a bit.)

  88. Bad advice. If you just pull over and accept a speeding ticket without arguing with the officer issuing the citation, you’re not going to “get caught”. Just don’t be stupid and give them probable cause. If you don’t pull over, they’re watching for people in the car throwing things out the window. If you’re driving under the influence, first of all DON’T, second of all, alcohol stays in your bloodstream for longer than you might think, and they WILL check. If you’re on probation and you value your freedom, keep your tags current and obey traffic laws, and remember that one of the conditions of your probation is that the police don’t need probable cause to search you or your vehicle. You won’t need to flee from the police because you won’t be noticed by the police if you put in a minimal effort of keeping your shit in order. Joe’s advice here is terrible. Don’t believe him. Running is going to compound every legal problem you have. Your not going to be one of the 00.1% of drivers that get away. The best way to evade the police is to not be noticed by them in the first place, and if they do notice you (speeding or some other traffic violation), get the business over as smoothly and quickly as possible. Some officers will try to rattle you, but maintain a respectful attitude for a couple of minutes and you’ll be on your way.

  110.  @chocolatecandy3077  Maybe start with Black Dahlia, L.A. Confidential, Chinatown. And about half the movies based on Raymond Chandler novels and stories (example: The Big Sleep). The original 1950 D.O.A. And there’s probably a dozen forgotten B-Movies set in LA. from the 30s & 40s. Earlier than that was the silent movie period. The only “crime movies” of the Silent Era that I’m aware of are the Keystone Cops and the like (Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin). These early movies might not be set specifically in L.A., but the great majority were shot on the streets of L.A.

  115.  @Isheepzu  Even if one takes the economic > health argument, they still lose because healthcare is expensive and also drives inflation. And what about the indirect effects from people being too sick to work?—that itself drives up the cost of labor, leading to inflation. Most people making the “economy has priority” argument don’t understand economics, they don’t understand external costs, and they probably don’t understand their own finances. I don’t know if 2036 is a reasonable time frame, but I do know that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

  122. Yup. It could happen any day now, over the course of the next 100 years. Or 200. Experts won’t make foolish predictions like “next year” because there is no science that supports that small a time frame. If you learn from someone who makes a living studying quakes, i.e., an expert, they’ll say “based on previous cycles, we might be overdue for a major quake, and probably we’ll see one in the next 500 years. Geologic time scales are vast, on the order of tens and hundreds of thousands of years. Anyone predicting the “big one” coming by the end of next year is talking out of their ass. It might be next year. It might be 500 years from now. You have no way of knowing.

You should know this if you’re a citizen and I really don’t get why you’re ignorant of one of the pillars of our society. Russian much? Some finer process detail not everyone knows: Judges use the following criteria when determining if, when, and how much bail is to be posted: seriousness of alleged crime, potential danger to the community, and flight risk. They make this determination at a bail hearing, and both prosecution and the defense have an opportunity to argue what they think bail should be, or if the accused should be held until trial at all. I don’t understand how one could graduate high school without knowing the basic principles of our country, and I don’t get why you feel the need to opine on topics on which you are ignorant.

Modern vehicles are designed with crumple zones, but you start getting above 40 mph, the engine is getting pushed into the tailgate of the semi, and the truck is getting pushed into the engine. There’s no room left to crumple. Also, if that truck was really used for off-road sports (and not just for show), it might not have had airbags installed.

  155. The video suggests the driver escaped from a cul-de-sac, despite an effort to block her in. It looks like there were sufficient police vehicles hanging back from those vehicles blocking her which allowed her to squeeze by. I think police agencies need to develop better tactics and adopt new technologies if they want to get a handle on the problem. A few forward-looking agencies have pilot programs to adopt “the grappler”, a device that entangles the rear axle and tethers the fleeing vehicle to the pursuit vehicle with a cable. The pursuit vehicle then slows down, which acts as a drag on the fleeing vehicle, eventually causing it to stop.

  178.  @cosmiccowboy3063  Thank you for the breath of sanity. There is clearly a deep sickness infecting policing culture in general if it countenances the recklessness seemingly on display here. I want to believe that most police officers are good, are professional, and want to protect their communities, but it’s becoming harder to believe when the rank and file police fight consequences against bad cops, threaten to quit over vaccine mandates, and generally have a “my way or the highway” attitude about reform. WRT to 2A Rights and Gun Control, I don’t want a Nanny State, but we will keep moving in that direction if a large portion of the population acts like moral infants, throwing tantrums and lost in a world of make believe.

  179. Don’t be an counterproductive ass. Instead, look into fostering or adopting stray bullets. At the beginning of the pandemic many people bought bullets for, uh, companionship. Now that we’re past the worst of the pandemic, some of these people don’t want these bullets anymore, and are letting them loose in the community. If you really care, you’ll do your part and accept one of these strays into your heart. Contact your nearest A.S.P.C.B. and “Give a bullet a forever home.”

  180. I don’t like the idea of the police doing extrajudicial killing. Seems unusual for undercover or plainclothes officers to respond to this type of call. What was the plan here? Part of the police officers job involves putting themselves at risk, but they shouldn’t stupidly put themselves in jams where the automatic response is to shoot someone that wasn’t threatening them, nor should they create situations that give them “permission” to kill others. San Bernardino isn’t the Wild West and Police officers shouldn’t be acting like cowboys administering frontier justice.

So far he has gone after politicians of rival parties, not his own, although to be fair, his party (MORENA) is a new coalition that came together for his election. I have no knowledge or opinion on whether MORENA is a corrupt party, but the partisan nature of the Anti-Corruption prosecutions is troubling.

  230. Yup. And they will be. The police collected their names and addresses before releasing them. They’ve got security footage and eyewitnesses. They’ll be arrested for the serious crimes and summoned to court for the minor stuff. The police didn’t give the protestors the satisfaction of a mass arrest. The police didn’t wade in there busting heads because it was contained. Now the people involved are going to face the long grind of court appearances instead of rallying around Hamas and getting the adrenaline high of being in a mob. They will not be galvanized to further action. They’ll be ground down and hopefully accept responsibility for their actions. If they don’t, it doesn’t really matter. They’re going to face consequences. And the group and its leadership come out of this looking like real a-holes. They didn’t further their cause. They set it back. They don’t look noble because they didn’t get arrested en masse and they didn’t provoke a violent police response. I got nothing but praise for how the police are handling this.

Of the various white christian sects, they seem to have favored Trump the least. You might think that Mormons are insular and disengaged from the wider world, but many do their 2-year missions internationally, and have a more sophisticated engagement with the world than you might realize. I’m not a Mormon. But I’ve known a few Mormons over the years (since childhood) and they’ve always been outstanding individuals. I’m sure there are Mormons that are sons-of-bitches and there are some that are criminals. Mormons aren’t special that way. Nor are their religious quirks all that different than the weird quirks of just about any other religion. The man difference between Mormons and other Judeo -Christian sects, in my experience, is that Mormons practice what they preach.

  245. They can be arrested later at the leisure of the authorities. They were all identified before release and there will be recordings of who trespassed and who vandalized. They will be held responsible and pay the consequences for the vandalism. The bigger story here is how these protestors have completely delegitimized themselves (more than they already have). They’ve shown their true colors. They’re a mob, not peace loving students bound by ethics and morality to protest. A strong police response would have played into their hands.

When the investigation was complete and he was determined by investigators to be the perp, he was still in jail. If you had a basic understanding of policing and the criminal justice system, this would have been immediately obvious to you.

  272. Whether the level of force was justified and appropriate. Look, this isn’t a major investigation. The investigator tasked with investigating will also look at the body cam footage and then talk with the officers. He’ll read their arrest report. And most likely he’ll come to the same conclusion that we have. The officers will be cleared and public confidence will be maintained. But it’s necessary because not all uses of force are justified or appropriate, and the public wants to know when that happens and what is being done about it.

  273. The destruction order should be stayed and the new owners be given an opportunity to remedy the violations. They would need to submit a plan of remediation immediately, with a schedule, benchmarks, and deadline. If work itself is unsafe, meaning that fixing the violations would lead to life threatening safety violations, the destruction order should go forward.

  275. The rules of common sense dictate that during a health crisis we protect ourselves and others by taking precautions. Even during times of non crisis, we still follow laws that limit our freedoms. For example, you aren’t allowed to shit on the ground in public places.

  303. The talk and the reporting is all about the “assault on the Capitol”, but let’s not forget, it was an attack on Congress while Congress was doing its Constitutional duty counting electoral votes. To me, this is far worse than just breaking into a government building and vandalizing it. It was an assault directed by the executive branch of government at the coequal legislative branch and it was a direct attack on the Constitution and our democracy.

  304.  @mindseyeproductions8798  There are other reports of this incident that mention the 911 call. It’s possible that the officer spotted the firearm before or during the approach. He might have been known to the officers responding. Regardless of whether some members of the community thought he was a good guy or if he was the unofficial security of the parking lot, he drew a firearm while resisting a lawful order to keep his hands in sight. You do that, you’re likely to get lit up. This particular case is not an example of police abuse against Black Americans. We have plenty of examples of institutional injustice and abuse against people of color. Arguing that this is one of them weakens the credibility of the BLM cause. It gives ammunition to the White Supremacists that operate under the cover of “Law and Order”.
    1
  305.  @theboingster6947  We don’t have to even rely on information from SBPD. It’s clear from the video that the suspect drew a firearm while struggling with a police officer. I’ve seen other reports here on YouTube. Even if we discount the account given by the authorities, we can see what happened with our own eyes. As for the larger context, the SBPD does have a reputation and history of racism. It’s right to approach their information with skepticism. But I don’t think they would fabricate a 911 call or the suspect’s criminal record—if they did, it would come out later. On the other side, we have a few locals who say he was a good guy and that he was the unofficial security guard of the parking lot. Perhaps he was. That still doesn’t negate the fact that he drew a firearm on a police officer. If you care about Police Reform and fighting institutional racism, this isn’t the example you want to use. Just from the video available, it’s a justified shooting. It hurts the BLM cause to use this as an example, especially when there are many clear examples of police abuse. And other than random commenters on YouTube and random people in the neighborhood, I don’t see community leaders coming forward to call out injustice here. No reputable lawyer (or any lawyer) representing the suspects family is decrying this violence. As you well know, these types of family representatives are in front of the news cameras within hours when there are legitimate questions about police conduct. Until there is further evidence to the contrary, I’m going to urge anyone who cares about Black Lives to not hold this case up as an example. It hurts the cause in reality. There are plenty of cases to go around without using this as an example.

  309. Some police departments have policies that reduce risk to the public. Others don’t seem to care about public safety so much. Sure, the bulk of the blame is on the fleeing suspect, but police pursuit policies should err on the side of innocent bystanders. I realize that YouTube viewers want an emotionally satisfying ending, and lose their minds when a bad guy gets away. Some become overly cranky when a pursuit goes on for a long time.

  320.  user name  A non-white person needs to fear every interaction with the police, because there’s that chance the officer with whom their interacting is a criminal hiding behind a badge and uniform. It happens to white people too, but the abuses seem to be much more prevalent among Black Americans and Latino Americans. The people who don’t see this, or are unwilling to acknowledge it, are either white supremacists, or are blinded because they hide under the blanket of their privileges. Fuck the white supremacists; they can’t die fast enough imo. But the ignorant privileged are teachable if you don’t mind coddling their snowflake asses. The George Floyd case won’t change the U.S. overnight, but I think it’s changed some minds by showing them the reality of biased policing in America.

  327. Nah. Use-of-force investigations protect good cops and their departments from unfair allegations, in addition to uncovering abuses by bad cops. They’re a quite common procedure when there is use of force, and the purpose is for the good of all. That means both the public and the officers using appropriate force (not to mention their agencies/departments).

I’m certain that the routine use-of-force investigation will determine that the officers here acted professionally and appropriately. Any potential allegations against them will be shut down before they start and public confidence maintained.

  332.  @joserosa6880  The summer protests didn’t try to stop our elected officials from performing their ordained constitutional duties, which in this case was the counting of electoral votes. The protestors weren’t calling for the lynching of Mike Pence, the fascist insurrectionists were, and even brought handcuffs with them. The summer protestors weren’t performing a coup, while the fascists arguably were: taking over one of our branches of government. It should be pointed out that there were peaceful protesters at the Trump rally that no reasonable person would call a terrorist. Similarly, most of the BLM protestors were peaceful, but were attacked and arrested by riot police as if they posed a violent threat. Another difference was that, while many liberal leaders expressed sympathy and moral support for the peaceful protests, none condoned the rioters and looters. On the other hand, President Trump supported, encouraged, and directed the violent fascists that stormed the Capitol. He didn’t call them off until they had accomplished their deplorable deed (or as much as they were going to that day), and when he did ask them to go home, he expressed affection for them. But the biggest difference is the goals, and this is where the word terrorist comes into play. The BLM protestors were calling for social change, and an end to institutional racism in police departments. The Trumpers that attacked the Congress wanted to overturn a free and fair election. One is purely political, the other is social. One group was to calling attention to a problem, the other was an attempting to overturn democracy, rule of law, and the Constitution.

Part of the regime is the permit, which not only supports the cost of inspections, but is also how the health inspectors keep tabs on mobile taco trucks. These rules were requested by the taqueros themselves, after the brick and mortar restaurants were pressuring the board of supervisors to shut down the trucks completely. The taqueros fought for their right to sell food as licensed businesses, and they won.

  345. The explosion of the homeless population isn’t due to tens of thousands of people suddenly becoming drug addicts or mentally ill. The cause is financial crisis, often by factors out of people’s control. The recovery from the 2008 crash benefited the wealthy while further squeezing ordinary people. The California housing market has made it worse. Also, it stands to reason that it’s much easier to get a job if one has a place to live. It’s very difficult to get a job if you have no fixed address and are focused on the day to day safety and survival of yourself and your children.

  356.  @jenjoseph9394  Nah. The county board of health has regulations that protect the public, whether it’s from a taco truck or brick and mortar business. You have to get licensed, and to maintain that license, they get inspected. The rules for trucks are very strict. When they are not working, there are special lots where they have to park, to make it easier for inspections. Most days, they get a quick visual inspection for cleanliness. Unlicensed food sellers aren’t as accountable if allowed to operate freely. Also, the L.A. Taqueros fought like hell to set the system up with the health department. There was a lot of political pressure from brick and mortar restaurants to shut down all taco trucks. They grouped together to hire a lawyer to represent and lobby for them. And they won. Of course they’re going to be pissed off at someone showing up, not playing by the rules and not paying their dues. Also, the supposed rivalry between Mexicans and Centroamericanos is tired. Leave that shit back in Mexico.

  408.  @NinoNlkkl  This is not true. You’re wrong about two things: 1) it’s the county, not the city. 2) they do give permits, if your business follows regulations and requirements. The permit is an agreement that your food business will follow the rules. It can be revoked if your business does not follow the rules.

The problem isn’t the libs (I’m a conservative, btw), it’s the 24/7 politics of mentally weak people enthralled by fake conservatism. They talk liberty, but they don’t care about the rights of others. They rail against a nanny state, but want to institute a police state . . . as long as they’re in charge. And they threaten civil war whenever they don’t get their way. Basically, the new right, aka the fake conservatives, are children in adult bodies. They show the maturity and sense of responsibility of infants. Just as GW Bush said, they are the children of darkness.

  425. Or he watches YouTube videos. 🙄 Have you ever checked out “Gun YouTube”? It’s friggin’ ridiculous. There are some good channels that provide good information responsibly and ethically. But there are also channels for “tactical operators” who watch too many movies. You know the type? They’re quite “proud” of themselves. But as I said, there are good ones too. Anyway, there’s a shit ton of videos that could teach you a proper weaver stance. There are trainers that work out of public shooting ranges. You can’t read too much into a shooters stance, other than if he’s gotten some training and practice. The interesting thing about this video is the handoff. Why? I imagine that the shooter knew he’d be searched when he got into the car, so needed a way to arm himself quickly after he got out. That’s just my imagination. I also watch action movies and TV 😆, and I can’t help but wonder what the whole story is here.

  439.  @onetwo6039  No. The taco trucks are strictly regulated by the county board of health. They pay for a permit for the privilege. The inspection regime is arguably harsher than for restaurants. So if a taquero reported this stand, it’s because they weren’t permitted and not playing by the rules. About ten years ago, the county was under pressure from restaurant owners to shut down ALL the taco trucks. The taco trucks fought like hell to stay open, and they fought for the right to be licensed, inspected, and treated like any other food business. The taqueros banded together and hired legal representation. They lobbied the board of supes. And they won. And here comes some pendejo, who is not only flouting the law, flouting the health of the public, but is putting the livelihoods of all taqueros at risk. One big outbreak of salmonella, all the taqueros get blamed by the public. Also, the cops don’t get called in until the second or third visit by the health inspector who found the violator.

  449. You’re wrong, the protesting truckers are still doing things civilly. They have a right to protest. Nonviolent civil disobedience fits within the framework of the rule of law if the protestors are willing to accept the possible consequences (which in this case is what? A ticket?) A protest like this is similar to a strike, just not as extreme. These transportation workers aren’t trying to overthrow anything, they’re trying to exert pressure on politicians over what they consider an unjust law.

They do occasionally get hassled. But this couple were too ambitious. They set up a canopy and (it looked like) multiple tables on the sidewalk. Some people are saying, “this isn’t Mexico”. They might be surprised that you can’t just set up a tent restaurant on any sidewalk in a Mexican city, either. They’re making the same mistake as these taco stand owners. Just because you’re not aware of local laws and customs doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

  459. Is it a euphemism? It describes the criminal activity accurately. Robbery occurs, and it’s organized online (supposedly) among random strangers. I’m not sure about this one, however—four guys? If they knew each other it wouldn’t qualify as a “flash mob”. It’s when you get a hundred people showing up, not everyone knowing everyone else, that it qualifies as a flash mob. At least that is my understanding. Some sort of organizing does occur in a flash mob, but it’s hard to say if it’s an ongoing criminal enterprise, which is the usual definition of organized crime—such as the Mafia or a drug trafficking network. As far as calling it petty crime, are you looking at the crime of an individual involved, or the overall crime. These criminals are hitting stores as a group, and the thefts/damages mount into tens of thousands of dollars. That well exceeds the bar for petty crime. So as I said, “Flash Mob Robbery” isn’t a gentle euphemism. It’s accurate name for the behavior. You could also call it looting. A gentle euphemism would be along the lines of “a large group permanently borrowing things without permission”. That said, euphemisms often enter language and we know what they mean. Take “shoplifting” as an example. It means stealing from a shop, but nowhere does the word contain robbery or stealing. It is or was originally, a slang term and still is an idiomatic word.

Because it might not have been immediately obvious to the cop that the suspect had thrown his weapon over the fence. He couldn’t freeze his body cam video and zoom in on the thing thrown, like we can at leisure, in the comfort of our living room. As far as the cop knew, the suspect was armed and he was not taking any chances. Remember that: as far as the cop knew in that moment, the suspect was still armed.

  470. No, we want to divert some funds to social services to address mental health issues BEFORE they lead to police incidents that the police shouldn’t be burdened with to begin with. Then the police could better devote their resources to fighting serious crime as they did in this situation. It would save their budget if the police weren’t called out to resolve every Ronnie Dobbs domestic dispute, and instead focused on crimes like this. I think the people who came up with the slogan “defund the police” were dumb or assholes or both.

At that point staff told them to return to their post, but the patient experiencing the psychotic break had gotten agitated. The deputies had no business freelancing or trying to “take control of the situation”. They showed a lack of professionalism, training, and discipline. If they were concerned, they could have asked a staff member instead of inserting themselves in a situation.
