NEW: LASD cracks down on street takeovers after weekend of stores getting ransacked.

Street takeovers turned destructive across Los Angeles County this weekend, leaving behind smashed storefronts and prompting the Sheriff's Department to detail new tools it's using to catch those involved.

Video from the scenes shows the now-familiar chaos of a street takeover: tires screeching, engines roaring, crowds spilling into intersections. But this weekend, several of those gatherings turned into something more destructive. A Superior Grocers in South LA was left ransacked, with merchandise scattered and shelves emptied. Takeovers were also reported in Gardena and Westmont.

NO CHARGES IS INSANE: THEY PICKED HER UP WITH A GARBAGE TRUCK CLAW, realized there was a HUMAN BEING inside the debris... and STILL did not call 911. Now prosecutors say nobody will face criminal charges.

Tyrah Adams was 35 years old and homeless when a Louisville Metro Public Works crew accidentally grabbed her during an alley cleanup in February.

Once workers realized someone was in the pile, they dropped her back down. Records show they knew she was moving and breathing, but nobody from that crew called for an ambulance.

Adams eventually made her way to a nearby store, where somebody ELSE called 911. She later died.

Prosecutors say they do not believe they could prove a criminal charge beyond a reasonable doubt, and her family is now suing.

Human beings are not DISPOSABLE.

Tyrah deserved better than this.

The Memphis Fire Department sadly announced the passing of firefighter, Private Kelvin Townsend.

"Kelvin proudly served the Memphis Fire Department for 22 years. To those who knew him, he was much more than a firefighter. He was known for his kindness, sense of humor, infectious laugh, and the big smile he carried with him wherever he went.

Kelvin was a friend, a brother, and a valued member of the MFD family. His loss will be felt deeply throughout our department."

Rest Easy Brother. Prayers for his family of red and blood.🙏🏻

NPA spokesperson Betsy Brantner Smith warns that America’s blue city police still haven’t recovered from 2020: Departments are short-staffed, cops are punished for doing their jobs, and politicians refuse to back them. The public supports cops. When will big cities listen?

🐻 BEARWISE ALTADENA 🐻

Wildlife is part of what makes our community special and keeping bears wild starts with giving them the space they need.

If you see a bear in your neighborhood, stay calm, keep your distance, and never approach or feed it.

🏠 Secure your trash
🍎 Remove food attractants
🚪 Keep garage doors closed
🐾 Bring pet food indoors
🐻 Give bears a clear path away from people

A bear sighting doesn’t have to become a dangerous encounter. Be BearWise. Respect wildlife. Protect your neighborhood.

WATCH LIVE: Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin details the results of a New York enforcement operation dubbed Operation Rotten Apple as the Trump administration continues its broader push against criminal activity and immigration violations.

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19U1kwtVnJ/

SecMullin on DHS operations in New York: "Over the last 30 days Operation Rotten Apple has taken over 2100 criminals off the streets."

"These arrests included gang members, rapists, murderers, and child predators.

“ICE officers will NOT be intimidated by political rhetoric, sanctuary policies, or street-level threats. We will continue to enforce the law, arrest public safety threats, and protect New Yorkers.” - ERO New York Field Office Director Kenneth Genalo

"New Yorkers should not have to worry that dangerous offenders are being released back into their communities, because local systems have failed to act. When a safe transfer from a local jail to federal custody is an option - it should be taken." - ERO Buffalo Acting Field Office Director Philip Rhoney
