here is the "yes,l agree that the sun rises in the east" disclaimer: no one should have to be shooting cops, cops shouldn't have to be shooting others (but there is a lot more to cops using deadly force)
But the way that @CBSNews @CBS8 & @nbcsandiego are covering the #ComptonShooting of LASD deputies lays bare broadcast #journalism's dependence on quick, easy content from reliable sources at the expense giving viewers a fuller context.
Context to why someone is this volatile world would shoot an LASD deputy could be explained by the suspicious death of #AndresGuardado
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_o…
It fits in perfectly with the #blacklivesmatter narrative about how law enforcement uses less restraint with BIPOC than people with less melanin.
That's true in San Diego, too. This is the only local coverage that I have seen on that story.
kpbs.org/news/2020/sep/…
I haven't seen any follow up about it.
LASD has grave problems within its ranks, too.
nymag.com/intelligencer/…
it does seem to lead those deputies to forget that #JournalismIsNotACrime

There are many problems with #LawEnforcement in Los Angeles
losangeles.cbslocal.com/2020/07/29/lap…
Little coverage by broadcasters has been given to the situations in S.D. jails
prisonlegalnews.org/news/2020/jan/…
Maybe you could cover those instead of the batshit crazy stories and being spoon-fed half of the stories by someone wearing a badge.

That #journalist's account of the assault by the #LASD.

Now the @LACountyBOS say that @LASDHQ Villanueva should step down

Now the Brits know about it

what can be said about the shooting of #andresguardado can be said about #dijonkizzee theguardian.com/us-news/2020/s…

When I (would) describe what most elected officials do for #Homeless people, I (would) say that they do as much as their constituents will let them get away with. Today won't be the case with @CMWhitburnD3 at the behest of @MayorToddGloria
today's discussion about amendments to the @CityofSanDiego's Municipal Code Related to Unauthorized Camping or Encampments on Public Property should be condemned
Whitburn is following the lead of his #NIMBY constituents when they won't allow any small measure to relieve the suffering of their #neighbors

We all should reciprocate the support that @SupFletcher gave to all of #SanDiego County during the #COVID19 #pandemic. He and other county officials responsible for our health were subjected to irrational and venomous attacks for their efforts to save constituents' lives.
His house was firebombed just over a year ago. His partisan conversion drew constant invective from extremists, people who menace their neighbors.
Understandably, a man who survived combat in uniform wouldn't expect to be assaulted by #fascist nihilists after being elected to a constitutional office.

.@prattprattpratt is the worst kind of Californian. Because those who have #housing are often most culpable for standing in the way of solutions - even of ½ @$$ed solutions. Image
This bleat about #homelessness + isn't what it seems to be: elected officials are delivering the level of service and solutions that voters require of them. You can drive along a freeway or around MacArthur Park 2 see that is a low bar. His in-laws could explain this to him. Image
in simple, ideologically free terms that anyone who got a C in basic economics would understand, we are not building enough homes

I was trying to support #education and #employment in #Escondido earlier this week @escolibrary @ehscougars @cityofescondido @EscondidoChambe @EUSD @EUHSD @VisitEscondido @escondidoreport @EscondidoDems by posting notice of this new service of #libraries
…n_castatehelpnow_ca.svc.brainfuse.com/authenticate.a… looks like an incredible service, don't you think? So I shared it with many communities that I belong to on #Facebook. That URL is embedded on this page:
gov.ca.gov/2022/09/12/gov…
It has stayed up in every other community (probably around 10) that I posted it except one:

.@vosdscott was talking about #homelessness about 35 minutes into the VOSD podcast from a few days ago. I've spent some time thinking through what he & @andy_keatts were talking about.
I read about/ hear most people reducing #unhoused people to abstractions and dismissing what is obvious about living #homeless: the stress of not having your own residence makes you kind of crazy. It's natural.
People with means and a few rungs up on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs are blind to where the homeless are. thoughtco.com/maslows-hierar…

would @smartfinal tell it's employees at smartandfinal.com/stores/spring-… how #coronavirus works
I was told by an employee not wearing a mask that I could not put my reusable bags on the register conveyor belt because "it isn't safe."

I didn't pick a fight, but the #covidiocy of the situation sticks with me.
Your staff doesn't seem to understand that an unmasked human being (uncovered mouth and nose) is much more likely to infect a person than a virus on a reusable bag that may be transferred on to any part of the check stand.
