Officer Paul Verna's killer was tried and convicted. After the sentence was overturned, he was convicted again. Now, 37 years later, he will either stand trial for his murdering officer Verna or walk free. The story of a grieving family that continues to suffer.
A combination of factors — from the current political climate to anti-police sentiments gripping the nation to the @LADAOffice race next month — could impact what happens next in the 1983 murder of @LAPDHQ Officer Paul Verna. apnews.com/6d11757d92cb3f7ce… @AP_Images by @MarcioSanchez06

We take a major step forward in improving police/community outcomes by teaming up specially trained police officers with mental health clinicians. This is part of our national initiative to invest in better policing. sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/20…

Beyond the echo chamber: “Nearly 75 percent of survey respondents with a view on the matter want to maintain police funding.” And 66% “don’t want to decrease the size of the police force or the scope of their work.” nytimes.com/2020/09/21/upsho…

An unprovoked, debilitating laser attack on one of our officers that may end his career as a police officer. A LAPD veteran, husband, father, and volunteer who assists the homeless.
An LAPD officer was partially blinded after someone deliberately pointed a green laser at him in downtown LA. "I just felt my, my right eye was on fire," he said. 4.nbcla.com/FMPTum7

This person is NOT an attorney for the LAPPL. The Tweets associated with her account are repugnant and we denounce them in the strongest possible terms.

We share the anger with what happened in Minneapolis but we have a #SJPD officer in the hospital now, attacked by violent protesters. More violence will not help. We need calm & respect for each other. Our officers will protect your ability to protest, but only peaceful protest.

No. Not today. You don't get to make this about you. The officers in your parents' case we're MURDERED. They didn't "lose" their lives. Their lives we're taken. Honor fallen officers by prosecuting those who attack officers.
Today is Peace Officers Memorial Day, when we honor and remember all peace officers who have fallen in the line of duty today. I'm especially thinking of those who lost their lives in my parents' case.

2nd SFPD officer confirmed with COVID-19 with potentially dozens more exposed. We need fast-track testing of first responders NOW. We cannot afford to allow COVID to spread through the Department.

Tragically one of our Sergeants is confirmed to have the COVID-19 Virus. It's critical that any officer potentially exposed receive expedited testing. Testing delays compromise their safety, the safety of the public, and the ability of the SFPD to respond to emergencies.

Decisive action is needed to keep first responders on the job. Immediate quarantine if exposed and rapid testing to get us back to the front lines as soon as possible. We appreciate @sjpdchief leadership in making this happen for SJPD officers. bit.ly/2whs64a

This suspected car break-in crew appears to have hit neighborhoods in multiple cities. Possibly San Jose too. Wish we could say with confidence they will face stiff penalties if found guilty. bayareane.ws/35BvBOq
The staffing crisis threatens the safety of our city. Of the last two academy classes, fewer than 50% of recruits made it through field training. A plan from the Department and City is needed ASAP.

"Less lethal" tools are far from foolproof. Tasers fail. Bean bags fail. "Tactical retreat" failed. Ultimately, this suspect, intent on attacking our officers gave them no choice of what to do to protect themselves and the public. cbsloc.al/39S5iHd

Tonight, a 5-part series on the condition of San Francisco's streets. From open area drug markets to brazen criminal acts, from those suffering with mental illness to the chronically homeless, our current state is a heartbreaking experience for residents and officers alike.
Drugs. Homelessness. Third world inequality. San Francisco's radial left wing government has turned their city into an American Dystopia. Our exclusive investigation begins Monday night at 8pm ET and runs all week on ⁦@FoxNews⁩

A tragic close to 2019. A deputy sheriff in Texas murdered while making a traffic stop. Our prayers are with the Deputy's family and the men and women of the Panola County Sheriff’s Office. Thankfully, this coward has been arrested. bit.ly/2ZGv78i

“When we tolerate this open-air drug market in the heart of our city, the harms that it creates are not contained to the neighborhood where this drug market exists. Open-air drug markets attract evil and export misery, despair and...sometimes even death.” bit.ly/2PHZDKr

They've answered no questions and have yet to condemn the actions in the video. These gangs murder. They deal drugs. They hold neighborhoods hostage. Why is it so hard to speak out strongly against that violence?

Thanks to #LAPD Officer Frazier, who took a moment to listen to a stranger in the subway, and helped change her life for the better. latimes.com/california/story…
