Full quote is worse: “My party’s not known for worrying about the deficit or the debt too much but it’s time for us to start getting into that.”
that’s Pete Buttigieg on the campaign trail blaming the Democrats for the deficit when it’s the Republicans’ $1.5 trillion tax giveaway to corporations and billionaires who are responsible for it.
Blue Lives Matter: LAPD officer under investigation for allegedly fondling dead woman's breasts
I wonder if the corpse wrote "pig" on his Starbucks cup....
==============
A veteran Los Angeles police officer is under investigation after his body-worn camera captured him allegedly fondling a dead woman’s breasts.
The officer, who is assigned to downtown’s Central Division, was placed on leave once supervisors reviewed the footage during a random inspection, LAPD officials said.
The incident occurred when the officer and his partner responded to a call about a possible dead woman in a residential unit, sources said. Once the two officers determined the woman was dead, one officer returned to the patrol car to retrieve something. During that time, the accused officer turned off his body-worn camera and allegedly fondled the woman’s breasts, LAPD officials said.
Although the officer deactivated the camera, a two-minute buffer on the device captured the incident. The department is also investigating the officer’s work history.
“We immediately launched an administrative investigation once we learned about the incident,” chief spokesman Josh Rubenstein said, “and we assigned the officer to home.” He declined to comment further.

Man who died in deputy's carotid hold wasn't driving stolen vehicle
A Petaluma man who died after a Sonoma County sheriff’s deputy placed him in a carotid restraint was mistaken for an armed suspect in a stolen car, officials said Monday.
David Glen Ward, 52, was driving his own vehicle Wednesday when two sheriff’s deputies and two Sebastopol police officers attempted to pull over his vehicle, according to new information from the Santa Rosa Police Department. Ward refused to stop and they pursued his vehicle and surrounded it, before pulling him out of the car from an open driver’s side window, authorities said.
In the struggle, a deputy put an arm around Ward’s neck, which caused him to become unresponsive and later die at the hospital.
Police released a more detailed account Monday of the unusual encounter in an unincorporated area of west Sonoma County, which started in part because Ward had reported the vehicle as stolen days earlier. According to police, an off-duty Santa Rosa detective notified the Sheriff’s Office of a stolen vehicle near Frei and Guerneville roads. The suspect allegedly had a firearm.
Jason Little, a 12-year veteran of the sheriff’s department, was the closest on-duty officer to the area. He said he located the stolen vehicle at 5:54 a.m. and attempted to stop it near Bloomfield and Murray roads, according to the account. This vehicle, it turns out, was not the stolen one.

Man killed by booby trap rigged in his own home on Thanksgiving, police say
A man was shot to death on Thanksgiving night by a booby trap device he had apparently rigged in his home, officials say.
The deceased, identified by police as 65-year-old Ronald Cyr of Van Buren, Maine, called 911 after he was shot by his self-made home security device and was taken to a hospital, Van Buren Police said in a Friday news release.
“Regretfully, Mr. Cyr succumbed to the injuries sustained from the gunshot,” Van Buren Police said.

Investigators at the scene later saw the booby trap themselves when they discovered Cyr’s front door was rigged with a device “designed to fire a handgun should anyone attempt to enter the door,” according to the statement. Police reportedly found other “unknown devices” in Cyr’s home that prompted police to call the Maine State Police Bomb Squad.
Van Buren, a predominantly rural town in northern Maine 320 miles from Portland, sits along the St. John River directly across the U.S.-Canada border and includes a land-based port of entry.
