This police officer was ordered to take down his video message. But I was not. Here is the video I screen captured before it was deleted. All should hear this. More police should speak up.
Surreal scene as the police freeze and stare off into the distance as the star spangled banner plays while they wait for trash trucks to destroy the remaining property of poor people.
My son's friend. Ethan. 18 years old. They played on the same little league team. Attended the same schools. He taught my niece how to ride a bike. Last week he was hospitalized due to COVID. Today, he died.

My mom told me I should let the boys beat me at chess if I wanted them to like me. My response: why would I like any boy who couldn’t beat me at chess without my help?
Bast passed away tonight. He was loved by many. We called him the "bodyguard" because he would patrol the property, wait for us at the top of the steps and escort us to the door. What would really cheer me up is to see pics and here about your beloved animal companions.
My 8-year-old cat Bast is in the emergency room due to urinary blockage. And he might not make it. I'm not much for prayers, but keep fingers crossed if you would.

And it'll be a scary time for men when they add a whistle to their keychain and learn they have to yell "fire" if attacked by a man because if they yell "rape," or "help" no one will bother to get involved.
Her hair was pulled back and she wore sensible shoes with clothes more comfortable to her than alluring to me. I decided she would look much more attractive to me if only she were to smile. So I told her that. It was then that she unleashed the fury of a hundred dragons.

It'll be a scary time for men when they have to drive to the local police department instead of their home as they've realized they are being followed home from the bar.
First they came for homeless persons. And I did not speak out because I was not a homeless person.
Then they came for the vendors. And I did not speak out because I was not a vendor.
Then they came for free beach yoga. …
The City of San Diego is cracking down on free beach yoga classes.
The city says the classes need a permit, which are only available at some parks.
'Yogis' are mad they are included in a revised code, aimed at stopping illegal street vending.

2016? Just a few days ago, Trump's former NatSec announced Trump was aiding and abetting Putin's interference in the 2020 election. That story has hardly gotten any mention in light of Trump's COVID diagnosis.

Me: There are only 50 states.
Bob: You're forgetting about Alaska and Hawaii.

Bob: Yep.
Me: And each star = state.
Bob: They made that flag way before Alaska and Hawaii.

Nope. I've been angry, sad and in denial, non-stop, since November, 2016. This past week has stripped away my hope that the anger and sadness will ever end. I've trusted in our institutions, rule of law and checks and balances for 5 decades now and none of those matter anymore.
My homeless client is at UCSD hospital with critical infection that has spread to spine and brain. They are allowing her husband who has nowhere to go to remain with her BUT they put a camera in their room.
Q: If you stayed in hospital room with your spouse, were there cameras?
Police officers assigned only to harass homeless humans don’t know shelter bed availability. They also don’t receive mental health training to deal with trauma-infused populations. They do know when to shut up.

People have tattoos for the rest of their lives. Most of my textbooks I sold back to the school the next semester. I’ve never bought a tattoo and I’ve never attended your class. Both seem too painful to endure. I was a college professor for 20 years. Textbooks are overpriced.

I keep going back and forth on this, but suspect that Lindsey Graham might be working with Mueller and says what needs to be said to the media to get more opportunities to get evidence from Trump. If he's not working with Mueller, he's as guilty as Trump.
From FEBRUARY of this year. Yes, to everyone paying attention, it was obvious as all get out, that Tulsi on the Kremlin team and not for Democrats. Lets see how far Putin's remote-access voting machines are willing to go for her.
New decision gives San Diegans cited with infractions the right to obtain the body worn camera evidence in their case or have case dismissed. It’s a game changer & 1st such decision in country, yet local watchdog reporters say they haven’t the time to let San Diegans know.
So, pay attention to the sheer volume of stories on various issues. What media treats as urgent has more to do with power and profit than with objective assessments of overall well-being. Many of the great problems of our world persist b/c of flaws in what news treats as urgent.

He wasn't a "former" deputy when he committed these crimes, was he? Should be "After uploading video of himself raping a minor WHILE A NEW JERSEY SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, the now former-deputy was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Fun story: while protesting on behalf of homeless people outside federal courthouse, the San Diego superior court judge who swore me in as an attorney 31 years ago was walking across street and yelled in my direction: “Get a job.”
Many homeless people do work, some have multiple jobs. Many homeless people are unable to work. Telling either of these groups to get a job is callously cruel. Those who can work are prevented from working with sweeps. Homeless people who work 3rd shift have no shelter options.

@DeadBunnyFrank
Careful we're not co-opting a black rights and police brutality protest with a women's rights and rape culture protest. I think we can come up with a different idea, instead. How about covering mouth with hand to symbolize our symbolic silencing, during either pledge or anthem?

There is so much sexism in chess competitions. When I competed in the 90s (not a typo, 90s, not 50s), usually 3 out of 6 competitors would refuse to play me, forfeiting, to avoid having their ranking "tainted" by a woman. I would usually win cash as a result of their sexism.

This culturally appropriates a protest intended to raise awareness of police brutality with one intended to raise awareness of rape culture. We don't have to do that. Instead, women should cover their mouth during pledge or anthem to represent GOP's attempt at silencing us.
Stop teasing. I don't want to hear any more about how somebody might someday be prosecuted for running a criminal mob out of the oval office. Let me know when there is an arrest.
Breaking NYT: The Manhattan district attorney's office appears to have entered the final stages of a criminal tax investigation into Trump's chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, setting up the possibility he could face charges this summer.

What appears to some as spousal hate comic end of story appears instead to me as gap between patriarchal expectations and matriarchal realities as exposed through marriage from feminist viewpoint.
It takes six+ officers to force one man who needs an LGBTQ+ affirming bed and who has an emotional support animal into a non-LGBTQ+ affirming bed and without his support animal. In the meantime, 50+ persons who sought shelter today were turned away due to insufficient space.
@12manhawksfan
Don’t confuse shelters with housing. Shelters aren’t housing. If you were required to stay in shelters that would make them jail. Shelters are functionally unavailable for most but everyone wants housing.

Just told two homeless men I represent for free that I got their misdemeanor cases dismissed today. They were SO HAPPY. I don't think I've ever seen them happy before. I don't think I've ever seen them smiling before. This is why I do this.

FUN FACT: Bernard Kerik was Giuliani's bodyguard when appointed as Jail Commissioner and then Police Commissioner. He would serve more time behind bars for corruption than he served corruptly in office. A jail he had named in his own namesake was renamed before he entered it.
VINDICATION: For 4+ years, City Attorney of San Diego has refused to provide discovery to the homeless persons I defend Pro Bono. Today, the court held the prosecutor violated its Brady obligation by failing to provide discovery and dismissal of case was appropriate remedy. 1/

The video disappeared? The Sergeant condemned the actions of the officers who arrested George Floyd, said that's not what policing is all about; that officers became police to promote dignity, respect, courage and compassion. Urged more officers to get on social media.

@CavePersonCA
I love America and if Americans knew the truth about how our city is treating our most vulnerable I believe Americans would be as outraged as I.
Every person labeled "service resistant" is a person who is exercising autonomy and declining temporary assistance as non-beneficial to them and the city, by labeling them "service resistant," is bullying vulnerable people into options that are not in their best interest. Shame.
@MichaelAvenatti
Seriously, Michael? You were booked on felony charges and posted $50K bail to be released. I looked that up on LA Sheriffs website. The prosecutor will file charges on Dec 5th at arraignment. Police believed there was probable cause to arrest you for a FELONY.
Homeless persons in San Diego have organized and served on the city and county leaders a cease and desist of criminalization of homelessness. It’s fucking amazing. “Homelessness is the most extreme deprivation of the right to adequate housing.” 1/8

He was airborne. Nothing appears broken. Car never stopped. Police won’t come to scene. They are texting him a report. Self-checkout, but for hit and run.
He didn’t work FOR them. The murderer was a COP. He WAS one of them. Why is it so hard for you to tell the truth when it comes to reporting on bad cops, CBS?!?
