UPDATE: Former LAFD Chief Kristin Crowley is officially appealing her demotion.

She’d need 10 members of the L.A. City Council to agree with her appeal.

If they do, it would go back to L.A. Mayor Karen Bass to reconsider.

Ultimately, it is still Bass’ decision.

BREAKING! Forty years after DEA agent Enrique ‘Kiki’ Camarena was murdered in Mexico, Rafael Caro Quintero is finally facing justice in the United States.

The former leader of the Guadalajara Cartel landed in New York, where he will stand trial and spend the rest of his days in a cold, distant prison, far from his country and family. His extradition marks the culmination of a decades-long pursuit of justice.

After spending $5M, it is nowhere near complete and, if it was finished, would cost $400k/year to host (current OPM website hosting cost is <$1k/year).  OPM has cancelled the project and will give back the remaining funds.
