It’s SB1421 Day
Today is the Day.

Another Possible Cover-up by FPD
This involves some rumors. Proceed accordingly. A few months ago an unnamed Fullerton Police Officer was allegedly stabbed in Placentia by an unidentified “Hispanic male”.

Hendricks Already Up for a New Gig
Former Fullerton Police Chief David Hendricks is already up for a new gig at Mt. Sac. He’s apparently a finalist for the job of Mt. Sac Police Chief.

Campaign Mail – Quirk-Silva’s Irony
It’s junk mail season and time to keep an eye on the nonsense being sent out by and for candidates and issues.

OC Judge – Stop Being Mean to Disgraced Officer Jay Cicinelli
Remember Jay Cicinelli? The one-eyed officer who was so disabled from LAPD that he took a disability pension but was so-not-disabled that he was able to be a working Fullerton Corporal? Ring any bells? He’s the guy who in July 2011 used his taser on Kelly Thomas to “beat him probably twenty times in the […]
