San Bernardino County Sheriff

BREAKING! Christopher Wray is preparing to resign from his post as director of the FBI rather than be fired by President-elect Donald Trump, the Washington Times reported.

"“He’s going to be gone at the inauguration. On or before the inauguration,” a source said.

Following Mr. Wray’s departure, Deputy Director Paul Abbate will become acting director and appoint an acting deputy director. Mr. Abbate’s original plan was to stay until May or June so he could help with the transition to a new FBI director.

Kash Patel, Mr. Trump’s pick to lead the FBI, is meeting Republican senators on Capitol Hill this week. Mr. Patel, who has served as the defense secretary’s chief of staff and senior adviser to the National Security Council, was tapped by Mr. Trump to shake up the FBI management."

Carl Higbie says the Biden administration hasn't "done anything on behalf of the American people ever," and that "they have run an agenda of complete destruction."

"Row, row, row your fucking boat."

WA: A jewelry heist near the Hood Canal Bridge ended with a pair of suspects bailing water (and one bashing the other's head) in a desperate attempt to get away.

Deputies arrested a man and a woman who were accused of stealing thousands of dollars in jewelry, then trying to escape on foot, by car, and, finally, by row boat.

The ordeal began around 8:00 a.m. when a Jefferson County Sheriff's Office received a 911 call reporting a burglary from a shipping container on Killapie Beach Road, near the Hood Canal Bridge.

The 911 caller said a man and a woman had just stolen $11,000 in jewelry from the container and were fleeing the area in an SUV, according to Sgt. Brent Anglin.

With the fate of this settlement in the hands of the City Council, we would like aldermen to consider this fact:

No officer involved in the shooting death of Dexter Reed has been charged with a crime or misconduct.

So why is Chicago settling with Reed's estate?

Chicago Contrarian

Nobody likes to mention the fact a Chicago Police Officer was also shot in the hand by Dexter Reed , that resulted in him having multiple surgeries.

UPDATE: Two Los Angeles Police Department officers sustained minor injuries in a helicopter training accident earlier today.

The LAPD aircraft was conducting a training exercise out of the Los Alamitos facility, located in the 4000 block of Doolittle Avenue, at about 1 p.m. when it “experienced a mechanical failure,” said Officer Terzes.

The chopper made a hard landing with two aboard, though both officers were only minorly injured and were not taken to the hospital.

BREAKING! San Diego County Sheriff Kelly Martinez announces she will not adhere to the "super sanctuary" policy approved by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors today, pointing out that she is an independently elected official, the Board does not set policy for her office, and she has exclusive authority over county jails. She adds that California state law is clear on when local law enforcement can cooperate with ICE, and that there is no "loophole" in the law as claimed by Nora Vargas, the Democrat Chair of the San Diego County Supervisors who introduced the policy.

Essentially, the Sheriff just called out the Democrats on the Board for virtue signaling, saying she had made her position clear and they knew she would not adhere to this policy before they voted 3-1 to approve it, with the lone no vote coming from Republican @jim_desmond.

Statement above.

The facility would conceivably be used to detain illegal aliens who are released from Rikers upon finishing their sentences for other, non-immigration related criminal offenses.

We love this. REPOST if you agree.

Another business closes in San Francisco as out-of-control crime threatens customers and workers. It’s a good thing Newsom is “Trump-proofing” our state to protect these “California values.”

An apparent swatting call at the north Georgia home of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., left a woman dead following a car accident involving local police.

Greene took to social media on Monday to report that she was the subject of a bomb threat directed at her home. The congresswoman said the Rome Police Department’s assistant chief received the threat via email, prompting a bomb squad to be dispatched to her home.

"On Monday December 9, a Rome Police Department officer was traveling in a personal vehicle en route to take his place with the Bomb Squad on a call.  This officer was involved in a traffic accident on Redmond Rd near Walmart which has created significant travel delays around the Norfolk Southern Railroad Tracks."

Greene said she was "heartsick" over the deadly accident, which she said claimed the life of a woman and injured a police officer.

"I’m heartsick right now. I was just informed that an innocent woman died today in an auto accident involving a member of the Rome Police bomb squad who was responding to the threat at my home," she wrote. 

"These violent political threats have fatal consequences. It’s an undue strain on our law enforcement who must treat them seriously. The officer was responding to protect my life. And now, a woman has lost her life because of this despicable act," the post said. "My prayers are with Tammie Pickelsimer, her family, the officer who was injured, and the entire Rome Police Department."

SFPD report: Luigi Mangione’s mother filed missing persons report, believing son was working in S.F.

The mother of Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old man charged in the New York killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, reported her son missing San Francisco weeks ago after believing he had been working in the city, according to a police source familiar with the investigation.

Mangione’s mother, Kathleen Mangione, called San Francisco police on Nov. 18, and stated that her son hadn’t been heard from since July, according to the source.

“Kathleen stated she spoke to Luigi on 7/1/24, and that Luigi worked for TrueCar at 124 Montgomery, which is permanently closed and the main number disconnected,” the report states.

The police source spoke to the Chronicle on the condition of anonymity in order to discuss non-public details of the report.

The mother went on to say that she didn’t know where her son frequents in the city, and the report does not note the presence of threats or medical concerns.

TrueCar announced the opening of an office at 140 New Montgomery St. in a 2015 press release. It was not clear on Tuesday if the company still operated out of that location. A TrueCar spokesperson told the Chronicle on Monday that Mangione hadn’t worked for the company since 2023, and did not immediately return a request for comment regarding the mother’s missing persons report.
