On Wednesday, the driver who was accused of driving through a group of 75 recruits from law enforcement in Los Angeles County has been identified, charged and released. Investigators believe that the incident was intentional. Construction of an ironclad, ironproof case A statement was issued by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department on November 17. It stated that Nicholas Joseph Gutierrez, 22, was being charged with attempted murder of peace officers. Additional charges are pending. CNN reported investigators suspect the suspect intended to cause harm to recruits. However, they need to confirm their suspicions by gathering substantial evidence. The department is required to present a case within 48 hours of an arrest. They provisionally released Gutierrez after the initial arrest. According to the Los Angeles Times Gutierrez's initial arrest was considered a detention. Deanna Mares , LASD deputy, told CNN that it wasn't like they had arrested the wrong suspect. They want to ensure that the investigation is complete. Sgt. Gerardo Magos similarly suggested there was plenty of evidence, but that law enforcement wanted to "make sure it's properly present." Alex Villanueva, Los Angeles County Sheriff, suggested that investigators take longer because they don't believe the leftist district attorneys to do their job. NewsNation was informed by the sheriff that "We operate under George Gascon as our prosecutor." We have serious concerns about his ability as a prosecutor. We will actually release Gutierrez provisionally until the case is ironclad and iron-proofed. Then, we will submit it to the DA to be considered for filing. We want to finish the case and present it to the DA. Gutierrez is expected to appear in court on Friday. A "deliberate act" Gutierrez allegedly drove between 30 and 40 mph wrong-way up a Whittier street, California, near where 75 sheriff's deputy recruits were jogging. According to some reports, the suspect mowed 25 recruits. Some of them had lost their limbs. Twenty victims were with the LASD. Two are with Glendale PD, two with Bell PD and one with Pasadena PD. Independent reported, that if it weren't for the light pole, more people could have suffered injuries. Captain Pat MacDonald stated, "Thank God that the light pole was there, because the vehicle eventually hit it and stopped." Five recruits were left in critical conditions. Los Angeles Times reports that more than a dozen other people sustained "life-altering" injuries of different severity. Villanueva explained the aftermath to NewsNation as follows: "It wasn't a peaceful scene, it was chaos, you know, there weren't many bodies, bones sticking out, and people were bleeding profusely. It was quite traumatic. "In fact, the paramedics who were there had never witnessed anything of this magnitude. Villanueva said that it was almost like an accident on an airplane, but that everyone survived. #WhittierAftermath video showing the 25 injured Sheriff's Corps recruits in Whittier's crash yesterday.

Two of them remained in critical condition. LASD stated that the homicide investigators would present their case to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office on Friday in preparation for filing considerations. Villanueva believes that the vehicular attack was a deliberate act.

This could be a sign of failure or refusal to apply brakes while driving towards the recruits. Gutierrez allegedly remained on the Honda CR-V while his foot was still on the accelerator after allegedly mowing down potential deputies. Gutierrez did not appear to be drunk at the time of the horrific incident, according to a field sobriety testing. According to the Los Angeles Times, marijuana could have been found in the suspect's car.

CBS This Morning: Saturday Sessions with The Jayhawks

The Jayhawks appeared on the CBS This Morning: Saturday on June 27, 2020. 2 songs were broadcast during the Saturday Sessions segment and one was posted online - all recorded live a few weeks earlier at a private residence in St. Paul, MN. In the past, artists would perform in the CBS studios but because of the Covid-19 situation the show started accepting artist generated content, which provided The Jayhawks a golden opportunity to work with a very talented team headed by Rick Fuller & Bob Medcraft to create something original and cool.

Bitter Pill, another song from the XOXO album, was also shot at these sessions.

AB 109: COOKIN’ THE BOOKS FOR JERRY BROWN

(FEBRUARY 28, 2017)  Steve Owen. Jose “Gil” Vega. Lesley Zerebny. Keith Boyer. 

Four law enforcement officers protecting Southern California – all murdered by convicted felons that benefited from the leniency of Assembly Bill 109.

“The system is now set up so it is very difficult to get sent back to (state) prison for anything,“ said Eric Leonard, an investigative reporter with KFI radio in Los Angeles.

In a sane world, felons violating parole would be sent back to Pelican Bay, San Quentin, or one of the other 33 state prisons constructed to hold such overt threats to society.

But in Jerry Brown’s California, politicians have created a climate where outlaws game the system, official data is meaningless, and cops end up dead.

AB109 is a way for Governor Brown to fudge numbers. 

The State Legislature passed the law in 2011 without any Republican votes. 

Democrats in Sacramento call it “realignment,” but in reality, AB 109 is a shell game that lets Brown dump state inmates into the county system. That way, the governor gets to tell people he’s reducing the state’s prison population.

“He’s playing Russian roulette with the public,” Tuolumne County Sheriff Jim Mele foreshadowed soon after AB 109 took effect.

 Los Angeles Times, February 21, 2017:

“We’re putting people back on the street that aren’t ready to be back on the street,” Los Angeles County Sheriff Jim McDonnell said. He said the county jail system he runs, the largest in the nation, has become a “default state prison.”

Brown’s realignment racket might be a good way for him to manipulate statistics, but law enforcement agrees it’s bad for public safety.

For years, police organizations warned that the bill would result in high-risk offenders roaming free - just like the three gangbangers who killed four California cops in the past five months.

Trenton Trevon Lovell, 27, shot Los Angeles County sheriff’s Sgt. Steve Owen in the face, then stood over his body and unloaded four more rounds – described as an “execution-style” death by the DA’s office.

A gang member with a long rap sheet, Lovell racked up 11 arrests and spent two stints in the state pen for felony convictions.

Associated Press, October 14, 2016:

Lovell has been on parole since 2014, when he was freed from prison after serving roughly five years of a six-year sentence for robbing a university community safety officer at gunpoint.

Prior to realignment (AB 109), Lovell could have gone back to (state) prison as a parole violator. (In 2015) he pleaded no contest to driving under the influence and a county judge sentenced him to 13 days in jail and three years’ probation.

Since the passage of AB109, parole violators are no longer returned to state prison.

“It curtailed the power of parole agents (paid by the state) to monitor and punish parolees,” wrote Eric Siddall, Vice President of the Association of Los Angeles District Attorneys.

That means ex-convicts like Lovell can now receive lighter supervision, like probation, for violating parole rules.

“Guess who pays for probation? The county. Guess who has next to no expertise in dealing with harden criminals? Probation,” Siddall continued.

Palm Springs Police Officers Jose “Gil” Vega and Lesley Zerebny were ambushed and killed by John Hernandez Felix, 26, during a 12-hour standoff last fall.

Felix, who has been described by local media as “a known member of the Varrio Las Palmas gang,” allegedly expressed a desire to kill police before firing armor-piercing bullets at the officers with an AR-15.

Desert Sun, October 14, 2016:

In September 2009, police say Felix and another man attempted to kill a member of a rival gang in a drive-by shooting.

Felix was charged with attempted murder but pleaded down to assault with a firearm, ultimately serving 18 months of a four-year prison term.

But before being discharged from parole in May 2015, Felix was placed on probation by the county, twice, and pled guilty to another infraction. 

The Press-Enterprise, October 9, 2016:

(Felix) got in trouble again in December 2012 when he was accused of possession of an opium pipe. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 76 days in jail, fined $570 and required to not use illegal drugs among the terms of his probation, which expired this August.

And in 2014 he pleaded guilty to driving under the influence, the court records show. He was sentenced to 35 days in custody and 34 days in a work-release program, and was ordered to pay a fine of $1,730 and complete a DUI first-offender program, but court records say he failed to appear for the work-release and DUI programs. He remains on probation in that case.

The California Justice Legal Foundation, whose Board of Trustees includes former Gov. Pete Wilson, notes that Felix “would have been eligible for more time in prison or jail” before AB 109.

Michael Christopher Mejia, 26, is a member of the Winter Gardens street gang and he’s got tattoos on his face to prove it.

Thanks to AB 109, the two-time felon was never on parole after leaving state prison last April.

Orange County Register, February 22, 2017:

(Mejia) was on county probation under Assembly Bill 109 when he allegedly shot and killed (Whittier PD Officer) Boyer…and had been arrested multiple times in recent months for violating his probation.

If Mejia had been returned to state prison for violating parole rather getting slapped on the wrist for breaching probation, he might not have been in a position to kill Officer Boyer on February 20.

“It is irresponsible to ignore the fact that the state has, over the last decade, wiped its hands of its public safety obligations and shifted the burden of monitoring harden criminals to probation - an organization not equipped to deal with the Mejia’s of the world,” Siddall wrote.

In a statement to KCAL news, Boyer’s cousin called out Gov. Brown.

Boyer’s family invited Brown to accompany them to the funeral later this week to witness the ramifications of his prison reform policies. 

Memorial Services will take place on Friday, March 3rd, at 10:00 AM at the Calvary Chapel in Downey. There will also be a public viewing on Thursday, March 2nd, from 6:30pm-9pm at Whittier Area Community Church.

[livefromrebelbase]

This is how Whittier PD treats a young man who needs help, they killed him, they murdered him, and then refuse to take the blame, even convinced city council to reject the family’s claim... Let these cowards know that the truth shall set John free and the truth shall capture them, I hope the man on top of John sees John every night in his sleep. I hope they get what they deserve, jail time, stripping of their badges, police reform NOW. Police protocol does not justify a murder. They have failed to protect us, and they will fail again. POLICE REFORM NOW. Not just in Whittier, or Los Angeles county. But in all of America. POLICE REFORM NOW. #policereformnow #Jonathansalcido #whittier (at Whittier, California)
