Oakland: Dead zones plague police radios

Lt. Fred Mestas of the Oakland Police Department remembers the day he was face to face with a robbery suspect who looked like he was carrying a concealed shotgun.   When he went to his radio for backup he saw that he had no signal.

He was in a dead spot.  His transmission was ‘somehow’ blocked.

This story was just this fall.  Despite an $18 million system he could not use his communication device.

The dead zones extend to hundreds of buildings including the basement of police headquarters!

Treatment for the Mentally ill Homeless in San Francisco

San Francisco has a large “severely mental ill” population who refuse treatment.

Both residents and tourists have complained about the “mentally ill homeless people” that create havoc, according to city leaders.

For years the city has debated how to deal with them.  A version of a controversial law called Laura’s Law, has been recently implemented.

For a further description of Laura’s law that was created in 2002 in California see the referenced article S.F. tries version of Laura’s Law for mentally ill – SFGate.

For an in depth understanding of how mentally ill homeless people could influence a city spiritually see this teaching episode on Building the Warrior from Prophet.tv.

Alleged Gay Rights ‘Icon’ Larry Brinkin Arrested For Child Pornography

San Francisco:  A local gay rights advocate, Larry Brinkin, 66, was arrested with felony possession of child pornography.

The San Francisco Chronicle states: “Police say that Brinkin had pornographic images, some that appear to show children as young as 1 and 2 or 3 years old being sodomized and performing oral sex on adult men, in e-mail attachments linked to his account.”

Within the LGBT community he has been considered an “icon”.  Up until 2010, Larry Brinkin worked for the San Francisco Human Rights Commission where he championed equal rights for lesbians and gays.  He also helped design San Francisco’s revolutionary Equal Benefits Ordinance which went on to become a model nationally for equality in the workplace.

His accolades earned him honors from the San Francisco board of supervisors and California Senators such as Mark Leno, Tom Ammiano in 2010. Former Supervisor Bevan Dufty authored a resolution which was passed by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors that proclaimed the week of February 1, 2010 “Larry Brinkin Week” in San Francisco.

The AOL account that allegedly belongs to Larry Brinkin, [email protected], contains horrific commentary which is attached to inexcusable images of child-rape, state authorities.  An incredibly depressing comment, as stated by SF Weekly… “I loved especially the nigger 2 year old getting nailed. Hope you’ll continue so I can see what the little blond bitch is going to get. White Power! White Supremacy! White Dick Rules!”
