New: CHP isn’t supposed to aim less-lethal munitions at protesters’ heads and fire into crowds. It did at UCLA.

We found at least 25 instances in which officers appeared to aim their weapons at the eye-level of protesters or fired them into crowds.

calmatters.org/justice/2024/0…

Law enforcement officers across the state are trained that these types of munitions “shall not be aimed at the head, neck or any other vital organs,” according to guidelines from California Commission on Peace of Officers and Standards Training.

@CalMatters CHP said some protestors became “assaultive and posed an immediate threat” by “launching objects and weapons”

“some officers used kinetic specialty rounds to protect themselves”

L.A. District Attorney says no cases of assault have been brought to them

The story of the search and rescue of the Seven Oaks community in the mountains of the San Bernardino National Forest, cut off from the world during Tropical Storm Hilary.

For @nytimes with @alishajucevic (1/30)

It starts with Greg Fink, whose lived in Seven Oaks for over 40 years.

Greg & his wife fled during the storm, literally running to saftey.

Now he’s back and on a mission:

First: Get home to feed his cats, who haven’t eaten in 2 days.

Next: Help the people stranded. (2/30)

Tropical Storm Hilary reigned down Sunday night, overflowing the Santa Ana River.

Fast moving storm water destroyed everything in it’s path, Shredding trailer homes, trees, even taking the road with it.

31 people still inside Seven Oaks were now cut off without an exit. (3/30)

At the Chino Valley School Board meeting the board is voting on a policy that would out trans students.

The policy would require teachers to notify parents within 72 hours if a student wishes to be identified by a pronoun other than the one “listed on their birth certificate”

California Attorney General Bonta issued a statement today expressing “serious concern” over the proposed Parental Notification policy that Chino Valley Board is considering.

“New%20Board%20Policy%205020.1%20–%20Parental%20Notification”docx%20%282%29.pdf https://t.co/7ESqDy8La3oag.ca.gov/system/files/a…

The school board has already ejected a few attendees for “unruly behavior” (they cheered or shouted)

The crowd is a mix of parents, pride supporters, and anti-LGBTQ groups that are wearing the “leave our kids alone” t-shirts that were seen in the Glendale protests last month.
