Replying to @LAPDHQ
@LAPDHQ today is one of the saddest days in the history of the LAPD. During my career there were four mayors, but none of them talked about defunding the police or firing the chief. There will be an exodus, but the Department will endure, it always has.

@LAPDwestvalley on this day in 2020, we lost a great copper and friend. SLO Sean Brown you are not forgotten and your life did matter.

@LAPDwestvalley it is hard to believe that six years ago we lost Joy Nguyen. She loved the troops and like her name was always joyful when you came in to records to get a DR#. RIP Joy.

@nithyavraman the fact that you’re upset that the LAPD was deployed during the ice demonstrations when demonstrators clearly showed riotous behavior, shows you have no real interest in protecting the city.

@UMichFootball it looks like you are going to need that end of game one second clock to pull this one out against Minnesota.

@dudejohan I am sorry for your loss. Though we did not know her, except from TV, we felt as if we did and that was the beauty of who your sister is and was. Highly skilled and talented. Your loss is LA’s loss.

@elianamoreno 24 hours ago tragedy struck. In your final words you asked the pilot “we can’t pull up?” Tonight I have no doubt that you did pull up, straight to heaven. #RIP

@JimRomeOnX if your going to crown SF, than crown them, but we knew who they were and that’s why we took the damn field.

@LAPDwestvalley 10 years ago today we lost Ned Russell. He was an outstanding detective and man. He will never be forgotten.

Hard to imagine that 5 felonies is worth only six years and than I remembered this is California after all. I am sure Gomez was sorry and promised never to do it again.
Ventura Chiropractor Dr. Fernando Juarez Gomez Jr. of Oxnard sentenced Friday to 6 years in prison after a jury convicted him on 5 Felony counts of Sexual Battery of an Unconscious Victim (his patients) at his office.

To my family at @911LAPD, my sincere condolences. I understand that we have lost two retired PSR‘s in the last couple of months. Words cannot express the sadness I feel. I’m thinking about each one of you today.
