An Ohio police department cheekily asked criminals to adhere to “freeze tag” rules during the coronavirus pandemic Thursday, sharing a photo of a police K-9 wearing an N95 mask that would make it difficult to bite a fleeing suspect. "Due to the current situation, we are making a request to all criminals that are either in North Ridgeville or may be in the near future. Hopefully this will make it easier on everyone involved. Thanks for your cooperation and good luck,” the North Ridgeville Police Department wrote on Facebook. #K9

The full fury of a deadly tornado in Oklahoma is on display as a shocking video shows the storm striking a building, sending debris into the air.

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT! In a video released by San Leandro police, audio recordings of dispatcher conversation and officers’ body-worn video footage reveal the moments that led up to and after the fatal weekend shooting of a 33-year-old man. The video’s release followed statements by a lawyer representing the man’s family, as well as one Sunday by San Leandro police Chief Jeff Tudor promising to release footage of the incident. Just before 3:15 p.m. Saturday at Walmart, 15555 Hesperian Blvd. a store security staffer’s call alerted police to a man the staffer said was trying to steal items while waving a baseball bat and threatening customers and other employees. The video does not identify the two officers, referring to them instead as “Officer A” and “Officer B.” “This step was taken due to threats of violence against our officers. The names will ultimately be released in another forum,” a statement in the video said.

(WARNING: 21+) APD officer Edgar Sandoval fatally shot Valente Acosta-Bustillos, 52, during a welfare check in the man's home. Police say they realized Acosta-Bustillos had a warrant and tried to arrest him and he threatened them with a shovel. One of his family members had called 911, saying they had not seen Acosta-Bustillo in several days, and he failed to pick up his paycheck. When officers arrived, they found Acosta-Bustillo in his yard with a shovel in his hand. Valente was found to have one confirmed felony warrant for felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon-- at that point the call changed from a welfare check to felony arrest which officers were obligated to enforce. Bodycam video shows Acosta-Bustillo going back into his house and refusing to comply with officers. After he refused to drop the shovel, he was tased. The video shows Acosta-Bustillo then lift the shovel over his head, in what appears to be a threatening manner, before he was shot. He eventually died at the hospital. #shooting

A federal judge on Thursday blocked a California law requiring background checks for people buying ammunition, issuing a sharply worded rebuke of “onerous and convoluted” regulations that violate the constitutional right to bear arms. U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez of San Diego ruled in favor of the California Rifle & Pistol Association, which asked him to stop the checks and related restrictions on ammo sales, Fox5 reported. “The experiment has been tried. The casualties have been counted. California’s new ammunition background check law misfires and the Second Amendment rights of California citizens have been gravely injured,” Benitez wrote in a 120-page opinion granting the group’s motion for a preliminary injunction. Voters approved toughening California’s already strict firearms laws in 2016, and the restrictions took effect last July.
