The #LAPD processes thousands of theft reports a year. Behind every report is a victim—and officers willing to take the extra step to solve the case. A stolen mobility scooter led to an arrest by LAPD Devonshire officers, and detectives made sure the victim got his scooter back.

Charlie Huber: tonight I was one of the people honored with the Got Your Back award from the Seattle Police Foundation. But I didn't do much -- it was you guys who helped. Here's my speech from the event (after a brief intro).

Tucker Carlson Tonight: America’s Class System Is Real. More real than we ever knew. If you’re a member of the group in charge, you can do pretty much whatever you want. Jeffrey Epstein understood this early. Now it’s common knowledge. When you’re on the right team, you can publish someone else's tax returns or private phone calls, no questions asked. Isn’t that illegal? Who cares? Laws don’t apply to you. You could literally broadcast your fetish live on a Zoom call and keep your job at CNN.

FBI, DOJ agree Hunter Biden emails were not Russia disinformation. The FBI’s subpoena of a laptop and hard drive purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden came in connection with a money laundering investigation in late 2019, according to documents obtained by Fox News and verified by multiple federal law enforcement officials who reviewed them. It is unclear, at this point, whether the investigation is ongoing or if it was directly related to Hunter Biden. Multiple federal law enforcement officials, as well as two separate government officials, confirmed the authenticity of these documents, which were signed by FBI Special Agent Joshua Wilson. Wilson did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment. One of the documents, obtained by Fox News, was designated as an FBI “Receipt for Property” form, which details the bureau’s interactions with John Paul Mac Isaac, the owner of “The Mac Shop” who reported the laptop’s contents to authorities.

LOS ANGELES - For the first time in more than a decade, homicides in the city of Los Angeles could reach a grim milestone of more than 300 by the year’s end. Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michael Moore made the prediction during a virtual Police Commission meeting. “We see the phenomenon of more guns, more people carrying guns, and then disputes escalating into gun violence.” According to data from the #LAPD, there have been 266 homicides in the city so far in 2020, compared with a total of 253 in 2019 and 260 in 2018. The last time the number topped 300 was in 2009, when there were 312 homicides in LA. Some activists like Black Lives Matter LA Co-founder Melina Abdullah, (fucking idiot,) believe that the numbers would greatly decrease if funds were directed away from police, and that the uptick in violence make their call to defund all the more compelling. The increase in violence comes as budget cuts have reduced the number of sworn officers in the department, which retired LAPD detective Moses Castillo believes discourages officers. “It sends the message to the rank and file - to the men and women who put on that uniform every day and risk their lives every day to serve the public - that we just don’t care about you, and we’re going to give into these groups that hate the police,” he said, adding that some have lost motivation.
