Ridley-Thomas is accused of conspiring with Marilyn Louise Flynn, who at the time was dean of USC’s School of Social Work, to steer county money to the university in return for admitting his son Sebastian into the graduate school with a full-tuition scholarship and a paid professorship.

One of Sheriff Villanuevas deputies got caught on video basically doing the whole knee on neck thing like 2 days after the Derek Chauvin trial.
Which magically disappeared so no one ever saw it, until a LA Times reporter got ahold of it and someone in the dept confirmed it.
Now seemingly the reporter, the guy who confirmed it, and an investigator are potentially being targeted for breaking the law/burglary accusations by having it.

Long post

I was on the streets between 2010-2019, mostly Venice, SM and the Palisades.
Through mainly my own fault/actions, from a mixture of depression and anxiety, but it actually turned out to be some of the most enjoyable years of my life.
Really, I was having fun sitting on the beach playing video games through most of it, I would go back to my old work and do some IT work because they (for some reason) never replaced me when I left. So eventually poo poo would break down and I would get some quick cash.
If you ever made it to the north end of the bike path, this was me.



But as some people have said, many people out there are generally a mix of drugs, criminals or just plain insanity.
Whenever someone would go missing it was always trying to figure out if they had gone to jail or OD'd.
Now there absolutely are a lot of people who are simply down on their luck and this pandemic has made that so, so much worse. I was lucky to get out months before it hit.
I had a group who was trying to get me housed for years, but gently caress I was enjoying it.
It wasn't until some poo poo for brains cop started harassing and threatening me that I finally relented.
And the whole process was actually pretty loving easy.
I had known people over the years who would be put into housing and be back out on the streets within a year or so. But it was to be expected, they usually had major drug/alcohol problems where they just couldn't adjust back to normal.
I was pure luck for these people though, no drugs/alcohol/non smoking/no criminal record.
But I was a rare exception, mostly no one even wants to take someone that has any sort of problem.
And its all standard apartments, you get a housing voucher and you have to try and find a place that'll take it.
A lot harder than you think, especially if they find out you were homeless.

But the actual homeless shelters, pure hellholes full of people trying to steal from you while you are sleeping or just moaning/yelling all night.
There are some decent ones, but as mentioned, they had some bizarre restrictions like picking you up in a bus before sunset to get there, and then dropping you off in Venice before dawn.
Therefore you can only own what you could carry. Want to have a bike to get around, nope, cant take it in and it would only get stolen if left anywhere near where they pick you up.

But to round it up, there are a ton of places out there to really help you if you want, not saying they'll get you a job or anything, but the one I hooked up with did a great job of getting me back to pseudo normalism.
Though there are times I wish I could have just been left there, if there hadnt been a pandemic.

This was the red headed stepchild well known for taking someones belongings and trashing them to try and chase you to somewhere else.
In a way, it WAS because of him that I became non homeless, but not because he actually wanted to help.
https://www.palipost.com/officer-redican-says-farewell-to-pacific-palisades/
That was standard fare for cops, they didnt want to have to deal with you and just wanted you to move to the next district.

e: this was MY experience with being homeless, this doesnt (and most likely wont) reflect most peoples experience being homeless.

I've only read a few articles from there, like this glorious piece about the LASD who went camping and shotgun blasted the foot of one of them because he got his sheriff gang tattoo wrong or something.

https://knock-la.com/deputy-gang-tattoo-shot-off/

"Deputies with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department attempted to shoot a deputy gang tattoo off of a man during a camping trip in Kern County in 2015. Department sources say the deputies shot the tattoo off because an unauthorized change had been made to the design. All deputy gang tattoo changes must be cleared with deputy gang leadership, several sources told Knock LA."

"The shooting occurred when a group of deputies held down the tattooed man while another fired off several rounds of his off-duty weapon and attempted to burn the design off the man’s ankle with the hot barrel of the gun. When the deputy was unable to burn the tattoo off, he fired the gun directly at the other man’s tattoo, according to a source familiar with the incident. The injured deputy was transported from Dove Springs to the Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster in a private vehicle, according to lieutenant Bill Smallwood.

A source within the LASD says that the deputy who was shot recently received a medical retirement for the injury, despite the fact that the deputy was wounded while he was off duty.

A source familiar with the incident identified Wyatt Waldron of the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station as the deputy who pulled the trigger. Waldron was promoted to sergeant in 2021 under Sheriff Alex Villanueva. Waldron is local to the Antelope Valley area, and graduated from Quartz Hill High School. "

Good ole Sheriff Villanueva

You have to be hooked up to some kind of address, whether it be a shelter or help group.
So 'just plain homeless' arent really allowed to vote.

To the best of my knowledge.

"CALIFORNIA -- Gov. Newsom says some relief from inflation will soon be on the way to millions of Californians.

Sunday night, Newsom and several state leaders announced they reached an agreement on the 2022-2023 state budget.

It includes a $17 billion inflation relief package, which would offer tax refunds to millions of working Californians.

It would also provide $350 to those making less than $75,000 per year.

Those who make more than that would also receive a smaller direct payment.

In addition, the package would include a suspension of the state sales tax on diesel, and additional money to help people with rent and utility bills."

A now angry rich douche calls his friend the San Mateo Sheriff and gets him to go to Indiana to raid his garage and get the car.

"Your public money paid for the trip last week by the sheriff's investigators - four round-trip plane tickets, three nights of hotels, meals, rental cars, and a lot of overtime."

"George Gascón, the county’s district attorney, decided he wanted nothing to do with the unit after sheriff’s officials proposed the two agencies create a task force to collaborate on public corruption investigations.

“He’s only targeting political enemies,” Gascón told The Times about Villanueva. “It was obvious that was not the kind of work I wanted to engage in, so we declined.”

Shortly after Gascón refused to partner with the Sheriff’s Department, Villanueva came out as a strong supporter of a recall campaign to kick the district attorney out of office."



"The commission subpoenaed Villanueva to appear before them Thursday to answer questions about the team. The sheriff has indicated that he will not show up, saying he is too busy."

"In addition, Mr Tipping secured sworn statements from a nurse and a paramedic who said the officer's spinal cord was injured, his lung had collapsed, his ribs had been broken and his liver had been damaged in a way consistent with being beaten.

“When you look at all these horrific injuries, the truth is something went seriously wrong here,” Mr Gage said. “I cannot fathom anything other than a severe beating.”

The Los Angeles County Coroner concluded that Mr Tipping died from a spinal cord injury sustained during the training exercise. The coroner's report also claims Mr Tipping's ribs were broken by a LUCAS device, which is an automatic CPR machine."
