The COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with record sales of firearms, has fueled a shortage of ammunition in the United States that's impacting law enforcement agencies, people seeking personal protection, recreational shooters and hunters -- and could deny new gun owners the practice they need to handle their weapons safely. Manufacturers say they're producing as much ammunition as they can, but many gun store shelves are empty and prices keep rising. Ammunition imports are way up, but at least one U.S. manufacturer is exporting ammo. All while the pandemic, social unrest and a rise in violent crime have prompted millions to buy guns for protection or to take up shooting for sport. "We have had a number of firearms instructors cancel their registration to our courses because their agency was short on ammo or they were unable to find ammo to purchase," said Jason Wuestenberg, executive director of the National Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors Association.

NYPD 63rd Precinct: Neighborhood Coordination Officer Cadet keeping those feet moving

An area of Sherman Oaks was temporarily without power after a two vehicle collision struck a hydrant Sunday, officials said. 

The accident was reported at around 12:30 p.m. on the 12900 block of Magnolia Boulevard near Coldwater Canyon.

Another driver was hit head-on... all because the new "police reform" law tied the hands of cops from stopping the criminal.

The politicians who passed this law should be held personally responsible.

Detroit, Michigan: After a video was published Sunday depicting a police officer punching a man in the face in Greektown, Detroit police are reviewing the footage and Internal Affairs is investigating.
The video posted Sunday on Reddit, titled "Detroit pigs handing out the brain damage," appears to show a Detroit Police Department special response team officer winding up and punching a man in the face, who then appears dazed as he tries to sit up. 
It's not immediately known when the video took place. The officer who swings approached the man alongside four other officers. "Y'all ain't have to do that, dog!" yelled a man off-camera, as a cellphone recorded the 45-second clip.

Border Patrol did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News seeking comment about the video. Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, announced last week that he would deploy the Texas National Guard to help troopers make arrests at the border.

Colorado: Mudslides from heavy rains caused "extreme damage" to a major interstate and left it blocked with piles of boulders and logs, Colorado transportation officials said Sunday, as forecasters warned of more flash floods in the coming days across the Rocky Mountain and Great Basin regions. Interstate 70 in Glenwood Canyon, Colorado, was closed with no word on when it might re-open after being pounded by flash floods over a three-day period. Lanes in both directions remained blocked by debris that flowed out of the burn scar from a wildfire last year in the Grizzly Creek area. The torrent of rocks that came tumbling down the canyon's steep walls smashed apart sections of the concrete roadway and sheared off a long section of steel guardrail, photos provided by state officials showed.
