DEVELOPING: The San Diego Police Department is tightening its belt. It's being forced to make tough choices to help overcome the city of San Diego’s $258 million budget deficit.

Families and community leaders who live in the city’s Northwestern neighborhoods immediately expressed shock when they read Mayor Todd Gloria’s draft budget proposal. A key part of that proposal includes shutting down SDPD’s Northwestern Division. Patrol officers would be based at other stations while supervisors would be reassigned to other areas of the city.

🚨May 1st! Support Deputy Trevor Kirk!

For those of you who are unaware, Kirk was thrown under the bus by LA Sheriff Robert Luna after being  pressured by black activists when Kirk took a SUSPECT down who was resisting arrest.

Kirk used the lowest level of force (pepper spray!). He is now facing SEVEN YEARS in prison for DOING HIS JOB thanks to a LOSER, WEAK, Sheriff and a WOKE ASS BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.

I bought my ticket! Dinner and music for a great cause! See you there!

Please, pray for the Pueblo Police officer who was shot in the line of duty overnight. 🙏🏽

Colorado: The shooting happened just after midnight Monday while officers were called to reports of a shooting and assault, according to the Pueblo Police Department. 

When police arrived, officers were alerted that the suspect vehicle had been spotted about three-and-a-half miles away. 

"Officers were dispatched to that location, where a passenger from the original report exited the vehicle and carjacked another vehicle at gunpoint."

When police tried to stop the stolen vehicle, officers said the suspect, later identified as a 16-year-old male, began shooting, striking one of the officers.

"An officer attempted to stop the stolen vehicle, at which point the suspect began firing at the officer, resulting in a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the officer."

That's when police said the suspect sped away, with officers giving chase. Officers stopped the pursuit by performing a tactical maneuver to cause the suspect to crash, according to Pueblo police.
