HERO ALERT: Two Louisiana garbage workers remembered ONE vehicle description, spotted something that didn’t look right, and helped bring a kidnapped 10-year-old girl home alive.

Dion Merrick and Brandon Antoine were working their normal sanitation route when Merrick noticed a Nissan sitting alone in a field.

He remembered seeing an AMBER Alert for missing 10-year-old Jalisa Lasalle.

Instead of driving past and assuming someone else would handle it, the two called 911 and used their massive garbage truck to BLOCK THE EXIT so the Nissan couldn’t leave before deputies arrived.

Jalisa was found alive inside, and police arrested Michael Sereal in connection with her kidnapping.

After helping rescue this little girl, he asked whether she had eaten and offered to buy her food.

They went to work that morning as garbage collectors.

They came home HEROES.

This story is making the rounds again, and we need to keep the good news circulating. Dion Merrick and Brandon Antoine deserve to be famous all over again.

A political meet-and-greet at a lesbian bar in West Hollywood has been canceled — apparently because of the candidate’s politics.

West Hollywood city council candidate Tanya Tsikanovsky says she planned the event, but it was canceled following backlash over her political views.

WeHo as it’s called, is an enclave of Los Angeles, and is the site of the city’s annual PRIDE events, drawing hundreds of thousands of LGBTQ supporters.

Tsikanovsky is openly lesbian, Jewish, a Republican and a vocal Zionist. Her campaign is focusing on what she says is growing political intolerance within communities that traditionally championed inclusion.

Tsikanovsky says she is being cancelled specifically for being a Republican and Zionist.

She does not blame the WeHo venue, SweetWater.

“I’m mad at my lesbian community for being the exact opposite of the tolerance they preach," says Tsikanovsky.

In West Hollywood — a city famous for celebrating diversity — apparently has diversity limits.✍Jeff Vaughn

For Immediate Release: August 30, 2026

OPD NEWS:

Officer-Involved Shooting in the area of 22nd Avenue and East 28th Street

The Oakland Police Department (OPD) is investigating an Officer-Involved Shooting (OIS) that occurred around 10:30 a.m. on August 30, 2026, near 22nd Avenue and East 28th Street (Manzanita Park). OPD's Communications Division received calls about a man threatening to kill a female victim.

As officers arrived and exited their vehicles, the armed suspect fired at them. Officers returned fire but did not hit him. The suspect ran from the area, and officers quickly moved the victim to safety to be evaluated.

Additional officers were called to the scene, including OPD’s Tactical team, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) aerial support, and outside law enforcement agencies to set up a perimeter as the search for the suspect began.

With help from community members, officers located the suspect in an abandoned home in the 2600 block of 22nd Avenue. Just before 3:00 p.m., the suspect lit items on fire, threw them at officers, and set the home ablaze. For community safety, officers deployed a minimal amount of gas in an effort to force the suspect out. The suspect exited and fought officers as they tried to take him into custody. He was later taken into custody by OPD’s Tactical and K9 Teams and taken to a hospital for evaluation. The Oakland Fire Department extinguished the fire.

No other community members, including officers, were physically injured.

We appreciate the community’s ongoing support in our investigations.

In accordance with OPD policy, the officers involved in the incident will be placed on paid administrative leave.

Consistent with OPD policy, the OIS is under investigation by the Oakland Police Department. The Alameda County District Attorney's Office and the Community Police Review Agency (CPRA) have been notified of the incident.

The Oakland Police Department remains committed to transparency and recognizes the community’s concerns. To protect the investigation’s integrity, information is limited at this time.

Warning graphic!

NEW: Metro Nashville SWAT officer Joshua Baney, a 12-year veteran, shot Jason William Sexton, 54, three times on Cheshire Drive Saturday after Sexton stood outside his Hyundai with a sword.

It started over unpaid coffee at the Shell on Charlotte Avenue at 8 a.m.  Sexton left, then came back with a full-size sword.  The clerk locked him out, and Sexton yelled, "Come outside now, I'll kill you."  MNPD took a felony warrant for aggravated assault, a threat to kill someone with a weapon.

A relative later called 911 and said the family believed he was a danger, pointing to Instagram videos where he showed the sword.  A police helicopter picked up the Hyundai at a car wash on Dickerson Pike and followed him onto Cheshire Drive, where patrol spent more than an hour trying to talk him into putting it down.  A 26-year-old woman in the back seat told officers she was being held against her will, Kim Katie reports.

Baney had been sent to block the car with his truck.  Sexton died at Skyline.  The woman was not hurt.  Chief John Drake pulled Baney's police authority while TBI works the case for the DA.
