The breaking story is $140M was allegedly sent to Sacramento County to fund COVID-19 relief as part of the first national bailout.  Instead of using the bailout money for its intended purpose 104M was diverted to fund the unsustainable benefit package for the SCSO.

Why is the SCSO having financial difficulties?  One need only look at the state’s shrinking tax base.  The one party system of Marxist-Socialists aka democrats occupying the legislature has been systematically forcing businesses and jobs out of CA and in turn the state’s entitlements and welfare have attracted the nation’s most incorrigible poor.  These people are the gravely mentally ill, the hardcore unemployed and drug addicted transients that now overwhelm the CA taxpayer based funding, designed for CA poorest families and homeless, but not the nation’s poorest and most dysfunctional and certainly not for illegal aliens.

This shrinking tax base is why Gov. Newsom says they have no money in the treasury to fund the 25% of share costs for Trump’s unemployment benefit extension.   However, the Gov. was able to generously fund benefits for illegals.  According to the Independent Sentinel,  California runs like a socialist country of its own. T hey spend $25 billion a year on illegal aliens and ignore their infrastructure. Their priorities are foreigners above all.

Note:  The $25B figure could be high, according to FAIR, the real cost is only $23B.  They break it down thusly, “Californians bear an enormous fiscal burden resulting from playing host to a massive illegal alien population estimated to consist of almost 3 million foreign nationals.  The annual expenditure of state and local tax dollars on services for that population and their children is $23 billion. That total amounts to a yearly burden of about $1,800 for each legally present California household.”

There is no showing whatsoever that the inmate was treated any differently because of his race and that the officers did not do everything their training demanded.  As a result of public pressure brought on by the media, 5 former officers were dismissed including a registered nurse.  They are currently being investigated for involuntary manslaughter!  The video, shows 3 black officers, 2 white officers and the white female nurse all trying their best to take care of an inmate who was suffering some sort of seizure. Watch the video of this and you will see the care and compassion they offered the inmate.

You will note the professional conduct of the team as they moved the inmate to a place where he could be treated.  At no time did anyone say or do anything that would indicate anything other than trying to help the inmate.  He has brain damage and he’s out of his mind.  They used handcuffs to restrain him from hurting himself.  He’s struggling and the he breaks the cuff key off in the handcuff.  He was face down in order to cut the cuffs.

The response team was patient, methodical and tried repeatedly to calm the inmate the whole time he was having a brain seizure.   Despite all this effort, the patient’s underlying medical condition caused him to die two days later in the hospital.  For that unfortunate death the police are vilified and the inmate is now treated like a martyr.  The Sheriff apologized to his family and named a wing of the jail after the deceased and terminated all the personnel involved in the attempted rescue.

Why he was in jail in the first place was never mentioned, but apparently it had something to do with attacking a female.

USA TODAY – Videos released Wednesday show an incident at a North Carolina jail that lead to the death of a Black man who was restrained while having a medical emergency last year.

Several news organizations, including The News & Observer and The New York Times, petitioned a judge to publicly release the videos that show officers “hog-tying” John Neville, 56, who died of a brain injury in December three days after police arrested him.

One of the videos runs nearly 20 minutes and is from the body camera of one of the five detention officers involved, who were all fired last month. Another is almost 26 minutes. Over the course of 45 minutes of being held in an observation cell, Neville would “sustain injuries that would eventually cause him to lose his life,” Forsyth County district attorney, Jim O’Neill said last month. Both were reviewed by USA TODAY.

The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office did not publicly acknowledge Neville’s death for more than seven months. Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough previously said he withheld word of Neville’s death at the request of the family and their attorneys.

Five detention officers and a nurse were charged last month with involuntary manslaughter: Sarah E. Poole, Antonio M. Woodley and Christopher Stamper; Corp. Edward J. Roussel and Sgt. Lavette M. Williams; and nurse Michelle Heughins.

From the Atlantic… a history of ANTIFA

Antifa’s activists say they’re battling burgeoning authoritarianism on the American right. Are they fueling it instead?

Since 1907, Portland,  Oregon, has hosted an annual Rose Festival. Since 2007, the festival had included a parade down 82nd Avenue. Since 2013, the Republican Party of Multnomah County, which includes Portland, had taken part. This April, all of that changed.

In the days leading up to the planned parade, a group called the Direct Action Alliance declared, “Fascists plan to march through the streets,” and warned, “Nazis will not march through Portland unopposed.” The alliance said it didn’t object to the Multnomah GOP itself, but to “fascists” who planned to infiltrate its ranks. Yet it also denounced marchers with “Trump flags” and “red MAGA hats” who could “normalize support for an orange man who bragged about sexually harassing women and who is waging a war of hate, racism and prejudice.” A second group, Oregon Students Empowered, created a Facebook page called “Shut down fascism! No Nazis in Portland!”
