Smartest Vehicle for the Money
By Gene on Friday, June 14, 2019Purchased the AWD SEL PLUS! Comes with All the Ammenties I could want for $33K retail cost. This SUV drives itself on most roads and is most comfortable. The amount of Safety Kit and the amount of Options, the size, and the Design and still cheaper than a Compact SUV. This is a Midsized SUV and not to mention 10 year warranty and the dealer throws in LifeTime Warranty. Love the RED color.. with Beige and black interior.

Great SUV ,the best car I have ever owned.
By Legend on Saturday, June 08, 2019I purchased the car October 13 , 2018 . I got the SEL Plus package. The best car ever for the money. This car has a very quiet smooth ride. It handles great , easy to park , and has plenty of power for passing and getting away from tight traffic. I got the HTRAC AWD which I would recommend for NY weather. My wife and I took a 2 hr trip in December to meet up with relatives. Comings back I drove through an hour of heavy freezing rain and this car never slipped a bit. My wife loves this car and wants to drive it all the time. She has nicknamed it the 'Spaceship with all of its bells and whistles. She drives a 2010 Santa Fe limited, and she ready to upgrade to the 2019 Santa Fe ultimate. I have been getting 28 to 33.1 miles per gallon of gas on 30 minutes trips this winter and spring with the 2.4 liter engine . I love this car, it looks great and is a fantastic experience to drive.

Love this vehicle!
By Steve on Wednesday, March 20, 2019I traded in my 2015 Santa Fe Sport and opted for the Ultimate 2.0 Turbo. I really enjoyed driving my sport, but the 2.4 liter engine was lacking when I drove up the mountains of Western Pennsylvania. The turbo has plenty of power and is fun to drive. My 2015 Sport was comfortable, but the 2019 is like sitting in a luxury vehicle. The cabin is roomy and quiet and has the best heated seats ( it blows my wife's Nissan Rogue heated seats out of the water). It is loaded with safety features and my car insurance dropped by $600 a year. I haven't had the opportunity to drive in the snow yet, but my old Santa Fe was plenty capable. It is a great looking vehicle and I love the front end redesign. I have only had this vehicle for a month, but I keep looking for reasons to take it out for a drive.

Hi Jordan! I started to hate the Cowboys since the day I've read about Carol and Brandy's interviews and it got intensified when I read about the "fag" incident. I hate it when they are shown as good guys when really they are not (example: in Seychelles, they gave an attitude to Phil by throwing the map at the host's feet). And I also hate it that CBS editors portray you as the bad guy.Don't worry, Jordan. CBS' only way to bring back their favorites Jet and Cord is brewing this excuse that they we're cut into line or "cheated" by you guys. Because other than that, those Cowboys will not have any excuse in joining this race. It's like Kisha and Jen's scenario: Jen insists that her pee break didn't affect their placements, but the show said it did. I guess you were on the wrong side of the rainbow while Jet and Cord enjoy their fake identity. Bottomline is I hate the cowboys, and I hate CBS.
5.) Did Jet McCoy call Jordan Pious a "fag" the night before the finale aired (on Jordan's birthday) and in front of his mother? Yes. Do "nice guys" use derogatory words towards others? No. Do "nice guys" finish "last"? Sometimes.
Quote from: JordanPious on February 22, 2011, 10:26:48 PM5.) Did Jet McCoy call Jordan Pious a "fag" the night before the finale aired (on Jordan's birthday) and in front of his mother? Yes. Do "nice guys" use derogatory words towards others? No. Do "nice guys" finish "last"? Sometimes. Jordan,I was just wondering, did Jet just come up to you and call you a "fag" or were you guys talking and it just came up? Thanks.Hope you like it here at RFF!
TAR 16 is by far my favorite and I think it will always be my favorite.I'm happy that Dan/Jordan won the race because you guys are so passionate about it. And Jordan you are so funny in every way.You certainly did better in the virtual task while Jet and Cord looked dumb in that task. (Although they are still my favorite, majorly because of Cord, I think he is really nice and a strong team member.And he had some life or death experiences just like Phil. Maybe that's what made Phil like them too.) The only thing I don't get is that, you guys seem to be very nice and friendly towards Caite while behind her back you kinda talked something not so nice about her with the lesbians. That might affect the lesbians oppinions' towards Caite.That's only what we can see from the viewer's perspective, we don't really know what's going on behind the scenes.My conclusions: We all have our own favorites, we will all be attracted to certain personalities whether they are likeable or not in others' eyes. Besides, some people simly support stronger teams or weaker teams. The viewer psychology is as complicated as consumer behavior. CBS needs to do its show that's why it is bringing 'the cutting in line incident ' over and over again. Although i don't think they truly mastered the viewer psychology. Portraying 'the cutting in line incident' that way might push away more viewers, at least some cowboy fans . Maybe they know better about the market. And you guys got the 1 million dollars and the great experience. So, maybe we should all put that behind and just enjoy the show. Don't hate CBS, if you hate it, then quit watching it. Anyway, I will support any season 16 teams in S18. Unfortunately there is only 1 team.

Read: Help, Thanks, Wow
By Anne Lamott (Riverhead Books, 2012)
Leave it to Anne Lamott to take something that feels overwhelming, then put it on our plates and cut it up for us into pieces that we can easily manage. So it is with prayer, says Lamott in Help, Thanks, Wow: The Three Essential Prayers.
The assumption of the book is that our prayer lives tend to get distanced from us and from their essence. How to get back to the pith of prayer, and why we should, are the guiding lights of the book. Lamott's way is very well lit, in the down-to-earth style that has endeared so many readers to her. There are moments in this book where one wonders if her style couldn't have used a bit more refinement, but it's nothing that will keep us from eating every bite of what she serves up.
Because Lamott is able to admit the sources of pain in her own life (she's a recovering alcoholic and addict, and a Christian convert), we start thinking it might be just fine if we show up with ours, too. In her words, "We are so ruined, so loved, and in charge of so little . . . and most good, honest prayers remind me that I am not in charge . . . ."
"Help" is perhaps the most compelling of our prayers, the great prayer that requires surrender. What we don't know, Lamott says, is that when we are surrendering ourselves and simply asking in prayer for help, we are in fact establishing a critical connection with God.
"Thanks," the prayer of acknowledging that help was on the way and in fact came, is our expression of the astonishment that things turned out OK. We're often surprised, and our initial feeling is one of visceral relief and, in turn, simple but profound thanksgiving.
"Wow" is the praise prayer, when we are finally speechless, when we exclaim with wonder or dismay. Help, thanks, wow: The only other word we need at the end of the day is our humble Amen.

English Academy Online
After teaching English throughout Asia for the past 5 years we have decided that teaching English through the internet would serve as the easiest most convenient way for a student who wants to learn the language. The internet serves as the best medium to reach students who might not feel comfortable in a classroom setting. We want to give the opportunity to give the student their own personal teacher to learn from, all from the convenience of their home computer.
Our audience will consist mainly of Korean, Japanese and Chinese students. We wish to be able to target all ages since we believe that everyone should be given the opportunity to learn the language. Currently the market in Korea is aimed at young children to adolescents however we feel that college aged students and adults in the business world can also benefit from our services.
We like the idea that our company is global and can connect students with opportunities to actively use their English. We also like the idea of having a globe-like logo but that's not something that we adhere to. We aren't artists so we would really appreciate an artist's point of view on a logo. We don't want anything cartoony but at the same time nothing too professional if that makes any sense. We really want to appeal to all age groups so a logo that can do that would be most excellent. We are targeting an Asian market but we don't want an Asian looking symbol. Actually a logo that could be adapted into several versions might be what we are looking for. In terms of color scheme we like blue and orange but colors can are completely up to you as the designer. We would prefer non feminine colors though. We have attached a small drawing as an example of what we are looking for. We were not satisfied with the look however because the company name is not easily recognizable. Please design the logo with a symbol as well as visibility of the company name. No stock images or clipart please. We also need the files to be in .ai, .jpg, and layered .psd (RGB).

A handful of protesters and police remain Wednesday morning in Frank Ogawa Plaza in downtown Oakland. On Tuesday night, 1,000 protesters clashed with police after two Occupy Oakland encampments were dismantled earlier in the day.
10:35 a.m. Library director kept main library open during protests
During the Tuesday afternoon rally, as about 500 people gathered outside the city's main library at 14th and Madison streets, organizers announced that police "called the library in anticipation of our gathering and asked them to shut it down. They said, 'No,' because they know what side they are on."
The crowd exploded into cheers. On Wednesday morning, library Director Carmen Martinez said the City had supported her decision to keep the library open.
In the early afternoon Tuesday, hours before the protest arrived at the library steps, City Administrator Deanna Santana called Martinez and asked how she wanted to handle the situation, Martinez said.
"I said that we are a symbol of civil society for a lot of groups, including this one, and the folks who protested against the libraries budget cuts, and we will remain open as along as service can be continued without disruption," Martinez said. "Deanna said she understood and respected that."
Police also called to ask if the library needed any help or backup, Martinez said, but she declined.
At about 5 p.m., however, with the crowd already shutting down an entire block of 14th Street, Santana called back with information that a second group was on its way and could make it impossible for library staff to leave, Martinez said, so the library ended up closing a half-hour early.
Nonetheless, Martinez said, the library remains "a symbol of gathering for 1st Amendment issues. We welcome everyone unconditionally."

10:10 a.m. Plaza fenced off
A 6-foot chain-link fence is being put up by workers around Frank Ogawa Plaza, where the tent city was dismantled yesterday by police. A red sign on the fence reads "Please Keep Out of Planting Area".
8:25 a.m. Calm returns to Frank Ogawa Plaza
The protest seems to be dispersing, not growing. Some of the protesters said earlier that they were waiting for BART to open, and now appear to have gone home. Their numbers are holding steady at about a dozen people.
Charlie Mac, 20, is one of them. He was arrested last night, just got out of jail and is still wearing a wristband. Mac lives with his grandmother in West Oakland, but had camped out in the tent city since Oct. 18.
His grandmother is in the dark: "I don't know what she knows about this, because I haven't told her anything."
He was a protester at last year's Oscar Grant protest. "I was just there to be there — I didn't know what it was about."
He's at this protest because he wants a job.
He says the police hurt him last night, and that he was one of the ones yelling at police. "I bet as soon as the media leave the cops are gonna start back up."
Lano Rice, 29, from North Oakland, was standing next to woman in a wheelchair when police threw a tear gas device under her chair.
They kicked it away. "But it kept sparking and smoking and me and another gentleman took her and went around the corner, but we came right back."
"I wasn't scared, I was disappointed that they would do something like that."
— Hannah Dreier
7:10 a.m. Downtown returns to life without tent city
Light traffic now flowing on Broadway and a steady stream of people in and out of BART. Street cleaners are out and people opening shops. A man is pressure-cleaning the closed plaza.
Matt, who didn't give his last name, came here from San Francisco this morning to help out. He brought a broom and spent a while sweeping up broken glass.
"Some jerks that were here threw some bottles and just cause someone wants to mess things up doesn't mean we shouldn't take some responsibility. The point isn't to make a mess and trash the city," he said.
Filipe Arenas, 56, was waiting for a bus to Jack London Square (to Amtrak) next to the protest. He saw the "Cali united against policy brutality" banner hanging on the plaza barricade and assumed this was an anti- brutality event.
"It's not about police brutality? If it's about economic justice I'd think more unemployed people would protest."
Adam Alvarado, 31, lives around the corner. "They're protesting the bailouts, I think?"
He's taking BART to work. This station was closed yesterday, but he didn't mind going to the Lake Merritt station instead. "I have options, luckily."
A city worker, who didn't want to give her name, has been ignoring the saga outside her office.
"I guess I just come to work here and then I go home."
— Hannah Dreier
6:25 a.m. 'Stupid people who were provoking the cops'
Michael Porter, 24, works full time selling DirectTV, has camped at the Occupy Oakland site for the last 8 days.
He was disheartened to see everyone disperse last night– down to 30 people after 3 a.m.
"We lost a lot of them because of the tear gas. And it was because of stupid people who were provoking the cops. It's random people who see a big group and are like, 'let's start a riot.' All it takes is one thing and it's like let's gas everyone. And I kind of understand where the cops are coming from as far as responding to signs of aggression. That's why we've got to keep those people out."
He's hanging around hoping to educate newcomers this morning about not provoking the police. Then he's going to sleep in his own bed for the first time in a week and then, he says, come back down.
Why? "I've always been told to be the change you want to see; I want to see more people come out"
Up to a dozen protesters, all men right now.
A plate window across the street shattered around what looks like a rubber bullet hole. Protesters telling police one of them owes someone a new window.
— Hannah Dreier
Wednesday, 5:45 a.m. The morning after
Protesters are outnumbered by media and police this morning at Frank Ogawa Plaza outside City Hall in downtown Oakland. There are 11 protesters, a dozen police and the same number of reporters and photographers.
The plaza is relatively quiet, with protesters milling about and lightly taunting police. One protester is advocating for California secession and another warning that the media have ties to Chevron.
One officer is patrolling the grounds outside City Hall with a police dog.
Barricades have been set up along 14th Street to prevent access to the plaza. The area has been cleaned up after yesterday's melees.
Snow Park, near Lake Merritt, is empty this morning and showing no signs of protesters.
— Robert Salonga
Tuesday, 11:03 p.m. More tear gas
TV cameras show police using more tear gas, and a reporter on the scene says it was again prompted by protesters throwing bottles at police. People are dispersing toward 15th Avenue and Broadway. Flash grenades can be heard, as well. The back-and-forth between protesters and police is expected to go on through the night.
10:41 p.m. More than 100 arrested
Interim police chief Howard Jordan told reporters that 102 people have been arrested. Police from other agencies are involved in trying to disperse the protests. Some people are starting to reconvene near Frank Ogawa Plaza.
10:36 p.m. Police using tear gas
Police are using tear gas against protesters who have gathered again at Frank Ogawa Plaza, at least the second time on Tuesday they've deployed the tear gas. Witnesses at the scene say protesters threw bottles at police before the tear gas was released. Protesters dispersed to the east of Broadway, and the gas fumes were heavy in the air. Between 200 and 300 protesters gathered for an earlier round at Frank Ogawa Plaza before the confrontation took place.
Protesters continue to regroup, march toward Frank Ogawa Plaza
A group of protesters has regrouped and is now returning to Frank Ogawa Plaza, near where police deployed tear gas earlier.

Police are continuing to threaten to use chemical agents against the crowd that is refusing to disperse on Broadway.
7:45 p.m. Police deploy tear gas
After repeated warnings, police have deployed tear gas and wooden dowells against the crowd of protesters at 14th and Broadway, near Frank Ogawa Plaza. As the tear gas canisters exploded in sparks, the crowd scattered toward 15th and Broadway.
7 p.m. Marchers pause at 20th and Franklin for rally
At 20th and Franklin streets in front of the California Nurses Association building having a rally. There are still at least 200 people in the street, blocking the intersection. At least three helicopters are circling overhead.
6:30 p.m. Protesters have five minute to leave
A man tried to start a fight with a police officer, sparking police to call an unlawful assembly. They have given the protesters five minutes to leave. Police have surrounded Frank H. Ogawa Plaza and are telling the protesters that if they refuse to move, they will be arrested. The protesters, possibly as many as 1,000 people, are all gathered at 14th street and Broadway. Over the last 30 minutes, police have launched wooden dowls and some concussion grenades into the crowds. It was not immediately known how many protesters, if any, were hit. An Oakland Tribune news photographer was hit with something launched by police. At least two people have been arrested since the rally and march kicked off at 4 p.m. Many in the crowd are wearing bandanas, possibly to protect themselve if the police use tear gas. Sirens are sounding, motorcycle police from many agencies are in downtown and there is general chaos as police try and clear out the massive amount of people.
6:10 p.m. Unlawful assembly declared
Police have declared an unlawful assembly and protests are heading toward Broadway. A few minutes ago, police pushed people away from the Oakland Police Department headquarters at 7th and Washington streets. Protesters tossed paint on riot police. At least one person has been arrested. There are reports that concussion gernades are being used on the protesters.
6 p.m. Crowd not obeying police orders, but nonviolent
At least 500 protesters continue to make their way toward downtown toward the jail. At 8th Street, a thin line of police officers on foot and on bikes held off marchers, who turned down Clay Street instead. There are more people marching right now than were ousted from the plaza Tuesday morning. The protesters are now at 7th and Washington streets and have crossed several thin police lines. They have now been blocked by a thicker line of police officers.
5:35 p.m. Hundreds of spirited protesters marching to jail and then to plaza
At least 500 people are carrying signs, flags and banners, and blocking downtown streets as they head to the Oakland jail and then back to Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, where crews continue to clean up overturned tents, garbage and put personal belongings in storage. Crews are logging property recovered from the plaza and storing them in a city warehouse until retrieved by the rightful owners. More information is at: www2.oaklandnet.com/oak031906.
Four helicopters are monitoring the march.
4:55 p.m. About 500 gathered in downtown
About 500 people have blocked 14th Street in both directions and are chanting "power to the people, and threatening to take over Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, about 12 hours after police rousted hundreds from their tents and arrested more than 1oo.
"We are going to march and reclaim what was already ours, what we call Oscar Grant Plaza and what they call City Hall," one marcher said.
Meanwhile, AC Transit buses have returned to their regular routes through downtown Oakland, except for the Line 26, which has been diverted from 14th Street between Broadway and Clay Street.
2:28 p.m. Arrestees being booked, held on $10,000 bail
Occupy Oakland organizers say arrestees are being booked at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin on $10,000 bail each and held until an arraignment on Thursday. Organizers are asking supporters to contact Alameda County Sheriff's Office and Mayor Jean Quan to "demand cite and release."
11:48 a.m. Labor council leader condemns encampment shutdown.
Josie Camacho, a leader in the Alameda Labor Council, is announcing a news conference at 6th and Washington streets right now, condemning the camp's shutdown as "an unprovoked raid on peaceful protesters."
Given the nation's fiscal woes, Camacho said in a prepared statement, "this outrageous act to silence the voices of the protesters puts Mayor Quan and the City Council on the wrong side of history. At a time when resources are stretched in Oakland it is shameful that City funds are expended to silence the voices of the people."
Camacho added, "We oppose the eviction and call on the City of Oakland to release the arrested, drop the charges, restore the occupation or otherwise reverse this silencing of the voice of the majority of Americans."
10:45 a.m. All clear issued for city employees and downtown employers
City Hall is now asking city employees to return to work and encouraging downtown businesses to open. City Administrator spokesperson Karen Boyd said city buildings surrounding Frank H. Ogawa Plaza are closed to the public "until public health and safety conditions can be improved; this includes debris, human waste and hazardous materials removal."
All City Council committee meetings have been canceled. Ironically, the shutdown of a protest about lack of jobs and economic opportunity for many Americans has also canceled the city council's meeting on economic development.
10:15 a.m. Occupy SF offers support
Occupy San Francisco protesters are offering refuge in their camp for protesters ousted from their Oakland camp this morning. The San Francisco group's Twitter account asks the Oakland group to let them know how they can offer support, and suggests sending people who need rest to the San Francisco camp in Justin Herman Plaza, just across the Bay Bridge from downtown Oakland.
Meanwhile, Occupy Oakland have put out the call on Twitter and elsewhere for supporters to gather at 4 p.m. at the Oakland Public Library, 14th and Madison streets.
9:30 a.m. City press briefing
At a press briefing at City Hall, Police Chief Howard Jordan said 75 arrests were made and the police operation went smoothly, without injuries to police or protesters. No children were found at the camp. Dogs and their owners were allowed to leave.
Tear gas was used, as well as bean bag rounds, officials said. The operation will be investigated and reviewed, according to Jordan.
The hundreds of law enforcement officers at the scene came from departments around the Bay Area, including the Alameda County Sheriff's Deapartment, Berkeley, UC Berkeley, Hayward, Fremont, Pleasanton, Union City Newark, Alameda, the CHP, Santa Clara, San Francisco and San Jose.
8:45 a.m. City officials survey the damage
City officials are conducting a walk-through of the Frank H. Ogawa Plaza aftermath to assess the condition of the plaza and the downtown area, according to a statement from the police department.
Officials plan to update advisory for downtown employers and city employees by 9 a.m. Earlier, they had urged employers to delay starting work downtown this morning.
Officials will be available for a media briefing this morning at 9 a.m.
Current road closures downtown: Clay Street between 12th and 14th streets and Broadway between 12th and 14th streets
8:30 a.m. Protesters remain downtown
About two dozen protesters remain across the street from City Hall, where the camp has been dismantled. Tensions escalated considerably when one protester pushed through a barricade and was taken away by police.
About 50 police officers are in place to keep any protesters from re-entering the plaza.
7:37 a.m. Downtown Oakland BART station reopens
The Oakland City Center 12th street station is now open, according to BART. Currently only the 11th street entrance/exit is open at this time.
7:15 a.m. Snow Park camp closed
Police have shut down the Snow Park encampment at 19th and Harrison streets near Lake Merritt.
Officers made numerous arrests, taking protesters away in vans, without any apparent violence.
Several protesters ran around into the nearby streets upending trash cans and Dumpsters, throwing trash into the streets.
The camp is now basically empty, with a few people standing around and the remainders of several tents lying haphazardly in the grass.
6:40 a.m. BART closes downtown station
The 12th Street BART station is closed because of the protests and police action and AC Transit is rerouting buses downtown.
6:15 a.m. Police descend on Snow Park camp
Dozens of police officers are moving into Snow Park near Lake Merritt. An officer is using a bullhorn to tell protesters to leave the small park. Police are ripping down the tents and protesters are yelling "go away, go away."
"Attention protesters at Snow Park, this is the Oakland Police Department, you are in violation of the law. You must comply with this announcement. It has been determined that you are illegally lodging and are subject to arrest. To avoid arrest, you must gather all your belongings and vacate the park. You must comply with this announcement now." Protesters are yelling "police state, police state" and "rise up, rise up, against your masters." Police are forming a line to protect the people who have been arrested and put in police vehicles. Protesters claim they have the right to assemble and yell "shame, shame, shame, shame,"
5:30 a.m. Protesters cleared from plaza, tent city gone
On a side street off Broadway between 14th and 15th streets, a police line is keeping about 20 or 30 people out of the plaza as the protesters chant: "rise up, rise up, come on people rise up." Police said there were about 200 police from Oakland and other agencies involved in the raid. Police said a few protesters threw bottles at first, but then stopped.
A large group of police are mulling around the plaza. There are no more protesters in the plaza. All have been pushed out or left on their own. Three helicopters continue to circle above the scene. Clean up crews will be moving in soon and they have a lot off work ahead. The place is a complete mess with a couch is on its side and carpet and tents strewed everywhere.
5:20 a.m. City issues warning to downtown businesses
The city is advising employers to delay the arrival of employees downtown until further notice. Police have cleared the protesters from the Occupy Oakland camp at Frank H. Ogawa Plaza and are now starting the clean up phase.
5:15 a.m. Tent city destroyed
Hundreds of police in riot gear continue to move into the camp and arrest people. Already dozens have been arrested and the camp destroyed. Most of the arrests seem relatively peaceful. Some have moved out on their own. There is massive amounts of destruction at the camp.
Police tore down tents and wooden stalls that had housed medical aid and food. Garbage cans are overturned. Some police have shotguns and all have clubs out. There is a small protest of about 50 people taking shape just off Broadway near 14th Street. People are banging drums and chanting "We are the 99 percent."
Media and TV crews everywhere. An officials with a bullhorn is issuing directive to campers. Police have now classified the area as a crime scene, but nothing violent has occurred. Looks like a hurricane has come through the camp. Entire raid was over in about 20 minutes. On the north end of the plaza, police have formed a line and are pushing about two dozen protesters into the street. Chaotic as the protesters yell at police. One protesters said "Police are the biggest gang in America."
5 a.m. Police move in
Police have donned gas masks and some kind of smoke has been released. There is a ring of police surrounding the plaza. In addition, police have blocked off the intersection of 14th and Broadway.
Police are dismantling the barricades and throwing them into the streets and also tearing down signs, ripping them up.
Protesters are sitting down, and police are now leading them away, handcuffed. Police in masks are moving into the camps.
4:50 a.m. Police surround camp
Police are now moving in from the street into the plaza, telling media to move. Police have set up security corridor, placing media behind them. Police are telling the protesters via bullhorn that "chemical agents" will be used and are repeating that they are illegally camped.
Using a bullhorn, police are announcing their intention to remove anyone from the plaza, repeating instructions over and over again. Taking out billy clubs, they are starting to move in. So far, police have not entered the actual encampment. A lot of television truck are parked nearby and media are assembling as well.
4:40 a.m. Police arrive
Several police cars have arrived. The protesters are running around, throwing things at the police. Riot police with batons full riot gear have assembled on the corner of 14th and Broadway.
Police are lined up from 14th to 15th, at least 100 riot police. Protesters are chanting "Police go home, cops go home " and banging sticks on anything they can find.
A helicopter is hovering over the plaza, shining a spotlight down on the camp.
Homeless people are leaving the camp, trying to get out.
Activists with Occupy Oakland report that police appear to be moving in early Tuesday morning near the encampment on the lawn outside of Oakland City Hall.
Police have been seen walking the perimeter of the camp, but have not gone in as of 3:30 a.m., according to the group, which has occupied a tent city for two weeks.
At the side of the camp near 14th Street and Broadway, people have put up at least two metal Dumpsters to block the area and wooden crates have been placed near the Clay Street side of the camp in an attempt to keep police out. In addition, people are covering their faces with bandannas and one made is carrying a giant shield he fashioned out of duct tape.
3 a.m. Camp braces for police raid
At about 3 a.m., the Occupy Oakland camp leaders sent out a text message, citing "heavy" police presence and then sent out another alert to supporters: "Get here immediately. Lines of riot cops marking toward camp."
More than 300 people have been camping in Oakland to support the Occupy Wall Street movement, which started on Sept. 17 in New York City to protest widespread unemployment and corporate greed.
The loose-knit group occupied the plaza two weeks ago to protest widespread unemployment and corporate greed, but the encampment has grown to encompass many other causes: support for state prison inmates who are on hunger strikes, housing rights, fair wages and against social oppression.
City officials began stepping up pressure on the protesters last week and on Friday upped the stakes by issuing a letter stating that the encampment on Frank H. Ogawa Plaza was "a violation of the law" and threatening violators with immediate arrest.
The "notice of violations and demand to cease violations" came a day after a preliminary letter that urged the residents to vacate the camp because of what the city said were a host of problems, including fighting, vandalism, public urination and other sanitation and public health issues. Officials said an existing rat problem in the area was being made worse by the encampment, which had about 100 tents at one point.
A spokeswoman for the mayor, Karen Boyd, said Friday that the protesters had shown themselves incapable of self-governance. "As a collective, they cannot maintain te plaza in a safe condition," she said.
Staff writers Sean Maher, Cecily Burt and Angela Woodall contributed to this report.

Anti-poverty volunteer keeps profit
from homeless New Jersey man's house sale
Published October 12, 2012 / Associated Press
- Oct. 4, 2012 – Douglas Hardman prepares to light a cigarette outside the teepee in which he lives in an encampment of homeless people in Lakewood N.J. (AP)
TOMS RIVER, N.J – A volunteer with a New Jersey anti-poverty program
said Friday he kept the money he made from selling a homeless man's
house because the man caused him major problems.
Wallace Doman III, a former real estate agent and the housing director of Solutions To End Poverty Soon (STEPS), told The Associated Press he felt no obligation to turn over money from the 2010 sale of Doug Hardman's house in Bayville after the homeless man signed it over to him for $50.
Doman says erratic behavior and complaints to authorities by Hardman led to the loss of Doman's job, and to his being investigated by police and state real estate regulators. Hardman, who lives in Tent City, an encampment of homeless people in the woods of Lakewood, is suing Doman, alleging he cheated Hardman out of his home.
In an interview after a Superior Court judge allowed the lawsuit to continue against Century 21 Pacesetter Realty, for whom Doman once worked, Doman said he did not feel he had to give Hardman any of the money from the sale of his lagoon-front home.
"After he put me through this, why should I?" Doman asked. "Not for what I was put through. He signed it over to me. I didn't deserve to go through that. I don't deserve to go through this. That man knew exactly what he was doing at all times. I know I did nothing wrong.
"I lost my job at Century 21," he said. "I was investigated by the Lakewood Police Department. I was investigated by the New Jersey Real Estate Commission. They found no wrongdoing."
In his lawsuit, Hardman claims his signature was forged on a deed purporting
to turn over ownership of his house to Doman's company, Platinum
Home Management on April 6, 2010. Doman says Hardman signed the document
in the presence of an attorney, and that he was sober and coherent the
entire time.
The two men met in Tent City, which Doman had visited in his role as volunteer housing director for STEPS. The two agreed Doman would try to sell Hardman's home for him.
But when Doman found out that Hardman had already signed a contract to sell it to two other real estate investors he had met while living in temporary housing, "I said, `We're done."'
Doman said he offered to deed the house back to Hardman, but Hardman refused. At that point, Doman said, he felt no further obligation to Hardman. Doman considered the house to be his own property.
"Everything became null and void when I tried to give it back to him. Nothing in the law says I can't sell my house for profit — I sold my house for profit," Doman said, emphasizing the word "my."
He sold the house for $215,000 to the two investors with whom Hardman had already signed a contract, and who he says were pressing their claim to the property. The two men are not named as defendants in Hardman's lawsuit. They later sold the house to another buyer for $355,400.
At Friday's court hearing, Superior Court Judge E. David Millard refused to grant Century 21's motion to dismiss it from the case, ruling that additional information needs to be presented to the court. The real estate agency maintains it never listed Hardman's house for sale, that it had no business relationship with Hardman, and that anything Doman did, he did on his own and not as a Century 21 employee.
Mary Chatten, one of the lawyers representing Hardman, said outside the
courtroom she has a hard time understanding how Doman can claim he had
no obligation to share the proceeds of the home sale with Hardman.
"It's troubling that Mr. Doman does not view his actions as unlawful," she said. "The fact that he thinks he has no responsibility to share the proceeds from the sale of the house is not shocking given his take on the circumstances."
Hardman found a part-time job this week working in a sheet metal business for 90 minutes a day, according to his son, Christian, who attended Friday's hearing. He said he hoped that might help motivate his father, who acknowledges he has a drinking problem, to straighten out his life.

News Release 12-127
National Science Foundation and European Commission Establish New Collaboration Opportunities for Early Career Scientists
Leaders sign agreement to promote research collaborations between European and U.S. researchers
July 13, 2012
This material is available primarily for archival purposes. Telephone numbers or other contact information may be out of date; please see current contact information at media contacts.
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the European Commission (EC) today signed an Implementing Arrangement to provide opportunities for NSF-funded early career scientists and engineers to pursue research collaborations with European colleagues supported through the European Research Council (ERC) awards. The agreement supports collaborations on specific projects while leveraging research funding and fostering lasting collaborations between European and U.S. researchers.
European Commissioner for Research, Innovation and Science Máire Geoghegan-Quinn and NSF Director Subra Suresh signed the arrangement today at the European Science Open Forum in Dublin.
At the signing ceremony Geoghegan-Quinn said, "This agreement is a great addition to the strong transatlantic cooperation in the field of research, and recognition of the strength of the ERC brand just five years after its founding. This new initiative will in particular boost the circulation and exchange of talent between our two continents. This is good for global science and therefore good for all of us, as we seek to find answers to so many important questions."
"Connecting U.S. and European researchers with shared interests and complementary strengths will advance the frontiers of science and engineering and address societal challenges," Suresh said. "We appreciate the European Commission's and the ERC's enthusiastic support for this significant opportunity for U.S. early career scientists and engineers to gain international experience and exposure for their research.
The program draws upon the goals and objectives of the NSF Science Across Virtual Institutes program, which recognizes that scientific excellence exists around the world and connects researchers with common interests and goals across international borders. Under this new agreement, ERC-funded researchers will host U.S. scientists and engineers, initially those supported by NSF's CAREER awards for junior faculty and recipients of NSF's Postdoctoral Research Fellowships.
Under the terms of the Implementing Arrangement, the ERC will identify researchers wishing to host NSF funded investigators, and NSF will solicit proposals from its CAREER awardees and Postdoctoral Research Fellows for these potential collaborative opportunities. This agreement will allow US scientists to be incorporated in the ERC-funded teams and will be supported as any other ERC team members. NSF will cover travel costs for the US scientists. NSF will release further details through an upcoming Dear Colleague Letter.
"The ERC is very pleased about this new initiative with the NSF, which can stimulate young talent in the US to gain experience in Europe," said ERC President Helga Nowotny. "This agreement is a first, but we have indications that more countries may follow suit, and the ERC welcomes this. The recently launched Global Research Council can be the appropriate forum for such developments."
Set up in 2007 by the European Commission, the European Research Council aims to stimulate scientific excellence in Europe by encouraging competition for funding between the very best, creative researchers of any nationality and age. It is composed of an Executive Agency and a Scientific Council. The latter sets the ERC scientific strategy and consists of 22 top scientists and scholars. The ERC is led by President Prof. Helga Nowotny and the Scientific Council is represented in Brussels by Secretary General Prof. Donald Dingwell. The ERC Executive Agency implements the "Ideas" Specific Programme and is led by Director (ad int.) Pablo Amor.

Christopher Dorners Online Manifesto; Disturbing Content and Language
From: Christopher Jordan Dorner /7648
To: America
Subject: Last resort
Regarding CF# 07-004281
I know most of you who personally know me are in disbelief to hear from media reports that I am suspected of committing such horrendous murders and have taken drastic and shocking actions in the last couple of days. You are saying to yourself that this is completely out of character of the man you knew who always wore a smile wherever he was seen. I know I will be vilified by the LAPD and the media. Unfortunately, this is a necessary evil that I do not enjoy but must partake and complete for substantial change to occur within the LAPD and reclaim my name. The department has not changed since the Rampart and Rodney King days. It has gotten worse. The consent decree should never have been lifted. The only thing that has evolved from the consent decree is those officers involved in the Rampart scandal and Rodney King incidents have since promoted to supervisor, commanders, and command staff, and executive positions.
The question is, what would you do to clear your name?
A word or set of words by which a person, animal, place, or thing is known, addressed, or referred to.
Name Synonyms;
reputation, title, appellation, denomination, repute.
A name is more than just a noun, verb, or adjective. Its your life, your legacy, your journey, sacrifices, and everything youve worked hard for every day of your life as and adolescent, young adult and adult. Dont let anybody tarnish it when you know youve live up to your own set of ethics and personal ethos.
In 8/07 I reported an officer (Ofcr. XXXX/now a Sergeant), for kicking a suspect (excessive force) during a Use of Force while I was assigned as a patrol officer at LAPDs Harbor Division. While cuffing the suspect, (XXXXX), XXXX kicked the suspect twice in the chest and once in the face. The kick to the face left a visible injury on the left cheek below the eye. Unfortunately after reporting it to supervisors and investigated by PSB (internal affairs investigator Det. XXXX), nothing was done. I had broken their supposed Blue Line. Unfortunately, Its not JUST US, its JUSTICE!!! In fact, 10 months later on 6/25/08, after already successfully completing probation, acquiring a basic Post Certificate, and Intermediate Post Certificate, I was relieved of duty by the LAPD while assigned to patrol at Southwest division. It is clear as day that the department retaliated toward me for reporting XXXX for kicking Mr. XXXXX. The department stated that I had lied and made up the report that XXXX had kicked the suspect. I later went to a Board of Rights (department hearing for decision of continued employment) from 10/08 to 1/09. During this BOR hearing a video was played for the BOR panel where XXXXX stated that he was indeed kicked by Officer XXX (video sent to multiple news agencies). In addition to XXXXXX stating he was kicked, his father XXXXX, also stated that his son had stated he was kicked by an officer when he was arrested after being released from custody. This was all presented for the department at the BOR hearing. They still found me guilty and terminated me. What they didnt mention was that the BOR panel made up of Capt. XXXXX, Capt. XXXXX, and City Attorney XXXX had a significant problem from the time the board was assembled. Capt. XXXXXX was a personal friend of XXXX from when he was her supervisor at Harbor station. That is a clear conflict of interest and I made my argument for his removal early and was denied. The advocate for the LAPD BOR was Sgt. XXXXX. XXXXX also had a conflict of interest as she was XXXX friend and former partner from Harbor division where they both worked patrol together. I made my argument for her removal when I discovered her relation to XXXX and it was denied.
During the BOR, the department attempted to label me unsuccessfully as a bully. They stated that I had bullied a recruit, XXXXX, in the academy when in reality and unfounded disposition from the official 1.28 formal complaint investigation found that I was the one who stood up for XXXX when other recruits sang nazi hitler youth songs about burning Jewish ghettos in WWII Germany where his father was a survivor of a concentration camp. How fucking dare you attempt to label me with such a nasty vile word. I ask that all earnest journalist investigating this story ask Ofcr. XXXX about the incident when Ofcr. XXXX began singing a nazi youth song about burning jewish ghettos.
The internal affairs investigation in the academy involving Schefres was spurned by a complaint that I had initiated toward two fellow recruit/offifcers. While assigned patrol footbeat in Hollywood Division, Officers XXXXX IV and XXXX (both current LAPD officers) decided that they would voice their personal feelings about the black community. While traveling back to the station in a 12 passenger van I heard XXXX refer to another individual as a black. I wasnt sure if I heard correctly as there were many conversations in the van that was compiled of at least 8 officers and he was sitting in the very rear and me in the very front. Even with the multiple conversations and ambient noise I heard Officer XXXX call an indivdual a black again. Now that I had confirmed it, I told XXXX not to use that word again. I explained that it was a well-known offensive word that should not be used by anyone. He replied, Ill say it when I want. Officer XXXX, a friend of his, also stated that he would say black when he wanted. At that point I jumped over my front passenger seat and two other officers where I placed my hands around XXXXs neck and squeezed. I stated to XXXX, Dont fucking say that. At that point there was pushing and shoving and we were separated by several other officers. What I should have done, was put a Winchester Ranger SXT 9mm 147 grain bullet in his skull and Officer Maganas skull. The Situation would have been resolved effective, immediately. The sad thing about this incident was that when Detective XX from internal affairs investigated this incident only (1) officer (unknown) in the van other than myself had statements constistent with what actually happened. The other six officers all stated they heard nothing and saw nothing. Shame on every one of you. Shame on Detective XX (same ethnicity as XXX) for creating a separate 1.28 formal complaint against me (XXXX complaint) in retaliation for initiating the complaint against XXXXX and XXXX. Dont retaliate against honest officers for breaking your so-called blue line. I hope your son XXXX, who I knew, is a better officer than you, Detective XX. The saddest part of this ordeal was that Officer XXXX and XXXXX were only given 22 day suspensions and are still LAPD officers to this day. That day, the LAPD stated that it is acceptable for fellow officers to call black officers blacks to their face and you will receive a slap on the wrist. Even sadder is that during that 22 day suspension XXXXX and XXXXX received is that the LAPPL (Los Angeles Police Protective League) paid the officers their salaries while they were suspended. When I took a two-day suspension for an accidental discharge, I took my suspension and never applied for a league salary. Its called integrity.
Journalist, I want you to investigate every location I resided in growing up. Find any incidents where I was ever accused of being a bully. You wont, because it doesnt exist. Its not in my DNA. Never was. I was the only black kid in each of my elementary school classes from first grade to seventh grade in junior high and any instances where I was disciplined for fighting was in response to fellow students provoking common childhood schoolyard fights, or calling me a black or other derogatory racial names. I grew up in neighborhoods where blacks make up less than 1%. My first recollection of racism was in the first grade at Norwalk Christian elementary school in Norwalk, CA. A fellow student, Jim Armstrong if I can recall, called me a black on the playground. My response was swift and non-lethal. I struck him fast and hard with a punch an kick. He cried and reported it to a teacher. The teacher reported it to the principal. The principal swatted Jim for using a derogatory word toward me. He then for some unknown reason swatted me for striking Jim in response to him calling me a black. He stated as good Christians we are to turn the other cheek as Jesus did. Problem is, Im not a fucking Christian and that old book, made of fiction and limited non-fiction, called the bible, never once stated Jesus was called a black. How dare you swat me for standing up for my rights for demanding that I be treated as an equal human being. That day I made a life decision that i will not tolerate racial derogatory terms spoken to me. Unfortunately I was swatted multiple times for the same exact reason up until junior high. Terminating me for telling the truth of a Caucasian officer kicking a mentally ill man is disgusting. Dont ever call me a fucking bully. I want all journalist to utilize every source you have that specializes in collections for your reports. With the discovery and evidence available you will see the truth. Unfortunately, I will not be alive to see my name cleared. Thats what this is about, my name. A man is nothing without his name. Below is a list of locations where I resided from childhood to adulthood.

During the BOR an officer named, Sgt. XXXX, from Los Angeles Port Police testified on behalf of the LAPD. XXXXX stated for the BOR that he arrived at the location of the UOF shortly before I cuffed the suspect. He also stated that he assisted in cuffing the suspect and thats old the BOR he told me to fix my tie. All of those statements were LIES!!! XXXX, you arrived at the UOF location up to 30 seconds after I had cuffed Mr.XXXX. All you did was help me lift the suspect to his feet as it was difficult for me to do by myself because of his heavy weight. You did not tell me to fix my tie as the BOR members and everyone else in the room know you lied because the photographic evidence from the UOF scene where XXXXs injuries were photographed clearly shows me wearing a class B uniform on that day. A class B uniform is a short sleeved uniform blouse. A short sleeved uniform blouse for the LAPD does not have a tie included. This is not Super Troopers uniform, you jackass. Why did you feel the need to embellish and lie about your involvement in the UOF? Are you ashamed that you could not get hired on by any other department other than port police? Do you have delusions of grandeur? What you did was perjury, exactly what Evans did when she stated she did not kick XXXX.
What they failed to mention in the BOR was XXXXX own use of force history during her career on the LAPD. She has admitted that she has a lengthy use of force record and has been flagged several times by risk management. She has a very well known nickname, Chupacabra, which she was very proud to flaunt around the division. She found it very funny and entertaining to draw blood from suspects and arrestees. At one point she even intentionally ripped the flesh off the arm of a woman we had arrested for battery (sprayed her neighbor with a garden water hose). Knowing the woman had thin elastic skin, she performed and Indian burn to the womans arm after cuffing her. That woman was in her mid-70s, a mother and grandmother, and was angry at her tenants who failed to pay rent on time. Something I can completely understand and I am sure many have wanted to do toward tenants who do not pay their rent. XXXX was also demoted from a senior lead officer rank/position for performance issues. During my two months of working patrol with XXXXX, I found her as a woman who was very angry that she had been pulled from patrol for a short time because of a domestic violence report made by Long Beach Police Department because of an incident involving her active LAPD officer boyfriend, XXXXX, and herself. XXXXXX is the same officer investigated for witness tampering. She also was visibly angry on a daily basis that she was going to have to file for bankruptcy because her ex-husband, a former LAPD officer and not XXXX, who had left the department, state, and was nowhere to be found had left her with a tax bill and debt that she was unable to pay because of a lack of financial means. XXXX, you are a POS and you lied right to the BOR panel when XXXX asked you if you kicked XXXXX. You destroyed my life and name because of your actions. Time is up. The time is now to confess to Chief Beck.
I ask that all journalist investigating this story submit request for FOIA with the LAPD to gain access to the BOR transcripts which occurred from 10/08 to 2/09. There, you will see that a video was played for the BOR members of Mr. XXXXX who suffers from Schizophrenia and Dementia stating that he was kicked by a female officer. That video evidence supports my claim that Evans kicked him twice in the upper body and once in the face. I would like all journalist to also request copies of all reports that I had written while employed by LAPD. Whether in the academy, or during my 3 years as a police officer. There are DR#s attached to each report (investigative report) that I have ever written so they all exist. A FOIA request will most likely be needed to access these at Parker center or at the Personnel/Records. Judge my writin/grammar skills for yourself. The department attempted to paint me as an officer who could not write reports. Even though Sgt. XXXXX a training officer who trained me stated for the BOR panel that there was nothing wrong with my report writing and that I was better than all rookie/probationer officers he has ever trained. Officer XXXX XXXX stated the same but refused to testify as he did not want to get involved with the BORs. Contact Sgt. XXXX ,(now a Captain at Lompoc PD), Sgt. XXXX, and Sgt. XXXXX. All will state that my report writing was impeccable. I will tell you this, I always type my reports because I have messy handwriting/penmanship. I never had a single kickback/redlined report at Southwest division and Sgt. XXX and Sgt. XXXX can testify to that. I never received an UNSATISFACTORY on any day or week. The same can be said within the U.S. Naval Reserves. All commanders will state that my report writing was always clear, concise, and impeccable. Even search my AAR (after action reports),chits, Memorandums, IIRs (Intelligence Information Reports) which were written in the Navy. All were pristine.
I had worked patrol at LAPDs Harbor Division from 2/06 until 7/06 when I was involuntarily recalled back to active duty (US Navy) for a 12 month mobilization/deployment to Centcom in support of OIF/OEF. I returned back to LAPDs Harbor division on 7/07 and immediately returned to patrol. I worked at Harbor division until 11/07 where I then transferred to Southwest Division. I worked At Southwest division until 6/25/08 when I was relieved of duty.
I have exhausted all available means at obtaining my name back. I have attempted all legal court efforts within appeals at the Superior Courts and California Appellate courts. This is my last resort. The LAPD has suppressed the truth and it has now lead to deadly consequences. The LAPDs actions have cost me my law enforcement career that began on 2/7/05 and ended on 1/2/09. They cost me my Naval career which started on 4/02 and ends on 2/13. I had a TS/SCI clearance(Top Secret Sensitive Compartmentalized Information clearance) up until shortly after my termination with LAPD. This is the highest clearance a service member can attain other than a Yankee White TS/SCI which is only granted for those working with and around the President/Vice President of the United States. I lost my position as a Commanding Officer of a Naval Security Forces reserve unit at NAS Fallon because of the LAPD. Ive lost a relationship with my mother and sister because of the LAPD. Ive lost a relationship with close friends because of the LAPD. In essence, Ive lost everything because the LAPD took my name and new I was INNOCENT!!! XXX, XXX, XXXX , and XXXXX all new I was innocent but decided to terminate me so they could continue Ofcr. XXXX. I know about the meeting between all of you where XXXX attorney, XXXX, confessed that she kicked XXXX (excessive force). Your day has come.
Im not an aspiring rapper, Im not a gang member, Im not a dope dealer, I dont have multiple babies mommas. I am an American by choice, I am a son, I am a brother, I am a military service member, I am a man who has lost complete faith in the system, when the system betrayed, slandered, and libeled me. I lived a good life and though not a religious man I always stuck to my own personal code of ethics, ethos and always stuck to my shoreline and true North. I didnt need the US Navy to instill Honor, Courage, and Commitment in me but I thank them for re-enforcing it. Its in my DNA.
Luckily I dont have to live everyday like most of you. Concerned if the misconduct you were apart of is going to be discovered. Looking over your shoulder, scurrying at every phone call from internal affairs or from the Captains office wondering if that is the day PSB comes after you for the suspects you struck when they were cuffed months/years ago or that $500 you pocketed from the narcotics dealer, or when the other guys on your watch beat a transient nearly to death and you never reported the UOF to the supervisor. No, I dont have that concern, I stood up for what was right but unfortunately have dealt with the reprocussions of doing the right thing and now losing my name and everything I ever stood for. You fuckers knew XXXXX was guilty of kicking (excessive force) XXXX and you did nothing but get rid of what you saw as the problem, the whistleblower. XXXX himself stated on video tape ( provided for the BOR and in transcripts) he was kicked and even his father stated that his son said he was kicked by Evans when he was released from custody. The video was played for the entire BOR to hear. Youre going to see what a whistleblower can do when you take everything from him especially his NAME!!!
Look what you did to Sgt. XXXXX (now lieutenant) when he exposed the truth of your lying, racism, and PSB cover-ups to frame and convict an innocent man. You can not police yourselves and the consent decree was unsuccessful. Sgt. Gavin, I met you on the range several times as a recruit and as an officer. Youre a good man and I saw it in your eyes an actions.
Self Preservation is no longer important to me. I do not fear death as I died long ago on 1/2/09. I was told by my mother that sometimes bad things happen to good people. I refuse to accept that.
From 2/05 to 1/09 I saw some of the most vile things humans can inflict on others as a police officer in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, it wasnt in the streets of LA. It was in the confounds of LAPD police stations and shops (cruisers). The enemy combatants in LA are not the citizens and suspects, its the police officers.
People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. How ironic that you utilize a fixed glass structure as your command HQ. You use as a luminous building to symbolize that you are transparent, have nothing to hide, or suppress when in essence, concealing, omitting, and obscuring is your forte.
Chief Beck, this is when you need to have that come to Jesus talk with Sgt. XXXXXX and everyone else who was involved in the conspiracy to have me terminated for doing the right thing. you also need to speak with her attorney, Rico, and his conversation with the BOR members and her confession of guilt in kicking Mr. XXXX. Ill be waiting for a PUBLIC response at a press conference. When the truth comes out, the killing stops.
Why didnt you charge me with filing a false police report when I came forward stating that Evans kicked Mr. XXXXX? You file criminal charges against every other officer who is accused and terminated for filing a false police report. You didnt because you knew I was innocent and a criminal court would find me innocent and expose your department for suppressing the truth and retaliation, thats why.
The attacks will stop when the department states the truth about my innocence, PUBLICLY!!!

I will not accept any type of currency/goods in exchange for the attacks to stop, nor do i want it. I want my name back, period. There is no negotiation. I am not the state department who states they do not negotiate with terrorist, because anybody with a Secret or TS/SCI has seen IIRs on SIPR and knows that the US state department always negotiates by using CF countries or independent sovereign/neutral country to mediate and compromising.
This department has not changed from the Daryl Gates and Mark Fuhrman days. Those officers are still employed and have all promoted to Command staff and supervisory positions. I will correct this error. Are you aware that an officer (a rookie/probationer at the time) seen on the Rodney King videotape striking Mr. King multiple times with a baton on 3/3/91 is still employed by the LAPD and is now a Captain on the police department? Captain XXXXXX is now the commanding officer of a LAPD police station (West LA division). As a commanding officer, he is now responsible for over 200 officers. Do you trust him to enforce department policy and investigate use of force investigations on arrestees by his officers? Are you aware Evans has since promoted to Sergeant after kicking Mr. XXXX in the face. Oh, you Violated a citizens civil rights? We will promote you. Same as LAPD did with the officers from Metro involved in the May Day melee at MacArthur Park. They promoted them to Sergeant (a supervisor role).
No one is saying you cant be prejudiced or a bigot. We are all human and hold prejudices. If you state that you dont have prejudices, your lying! But, when you act on it and victimize innocent citizens and fellow innocen officers, than that is a concern.
For you officers who do the job in the name of JUSTICE, those of you who lost honest officers to this event, look at the name of those on the BOR and the investigating officers from PSB and Evans and ask them, how come you couldnt tell the truth? Why did you terminate an honest officer and cover for a dishonest officer who victimized a mentally ill citizen.
Sometimes humans feel a need to prove they are the dominant race of a species and they inadvertently take kindness for weakness from another individual. You chose wrong.
Terminating officers because they expose a culture of lying, racism (from the academy), and excessive use of force will immediately change. PSB can not police their own and that has been proven. The blue line will forever be severed and a cultural change will be implanted. You have awoken a sleeping giant.
I am here to change and make policy. The culture of LAPD versus the community and honest/good officers needs to and will change. I am here to correct and calibrate your morale compasses to true north.
Those Caucasian officers who join South Bureau divisions (77th,SW,SE, an Harbor) with the sole intent to victimize minorities who are uneducated, and unaware of criminal law, civil law, and civil rights. You prefer the South bureau because a use of force/deadly force is likely and the individual you use UOF on will likely not report it. You are a high value target.
Those Black officers in supervisory ranks and pay grades who stay in south bureau (even though you live in the valley or OC) for the sole intent of getting retribution toward subordinate caucasians officers for the pain and hostile work environment their elders inflicted on you as probationers (P-1′s) and novice P-2s. You are a high value target. You perpetuated the cycle of racism in the department as well. You breed a new generation of bigoted caucasian officer when you belittle them and treat them unfairly.
Those Hispanic officers who victimize their own ethnicity because they are new immigrants to this country and are unaware of their civil rights. You call them wetbacks to their face and demean them in front of fellow officers of different ethnicities so that you will receive some sort of acceptance from your colleagues. Im not impressed. Most likely, your parents or grandparents were immigrants at one time, but you have forgotten that. You are a high value target.
Those lesbian officers in supervising positions who go to work, day in day out, with the sole intent of attempting to prove your misandrist authority (not feminism) to degrade male officers. You are a high value target.
Those Asian officers who stand by and observe everything I previously mentioned other officers participate in on a daily basis but you say nothing, stand for nothing and protect nothing. Why? Because of your usual saying, I dont like conflict. You are a high value target as well.
Those of you who go along to get along have no backbone and destroy the foundation of courage. You are the enablers of those who are guilty of misconduct. You are just as guilty as those who break the code of ethics and oath you swore.
Citizens/non-combatants, do not render medical aid to downed officers/enemy combatants. They would not do the same for you. They will let you bleed out just so they can brag to other officers that they had a 187 caper the other day and cant wait to accrue the overtime in future court subpoenas. As they always say, thats the paramedics job not mine. Let the balance of loss of life take place. Sometimes a reset needs to occur.
It is endless the amount of times per week officers arrest an individual, label him a suspect-arrestee-defendant and then before arraignment or trial realize that he is innocent based on evidence. You know what they say when they realize an innocent man just had his life turned upside down?. I guess he should have stayed at home that day he was discovered walking down the street and matching the suspects description. Oh well, he appeared to be a dirtbag anyways. Meanwhile the falsely accused is left to pick up his life, get a new, family, friends, and sense of self worth.
Dont honor these fallen officers/dirtbags. When your family members die, they just see you as extra overtime at a crime scene and at a perimeter. Why would you value their lives when they clearly dont value yours or your family members lives? Ive heard many officers who state they see dead victims as ATVs, Waverunners, RVs and new clothes for their kids. Why would you shed a tear for them when they in return crack a smile for your loss because of the impending extra money they will receive in their next paycheck for sitting at your loved ones crime scene of 6 hours because of the overtime they will accrue. They take photos of your loved ones recently deceased bodies with their cellphones and play a game of who has the most graphic dead body of the night with officers from other divisions. This isnt just the 20 something year old officers, this is the 50 year old officers with significant time on the job as well who participate.
You allow an officer, XXXXXX, to attempt to hack into my credit union account and still remain on the job even when Det. XXXXX shows the evidence that the IP address (provided by LAPFCU) that attempted to hack into my account and change my username and password leads directly to her residence. You even allow this visibly disgusting looking officer to stay on the job when she perjures (lies) in court (Clark County Family Court) to the judges face and denies hacking into my personal credit union online account when I attempted to get my restraint order extended. Det. XXXX provided the evidence and you still do nothing.
How do you know when a police officer is lying??? When he begins his sentence with, based on my experience and training.
No one grows up and wants to be a cop killer. It was against everything Ive ever was. As a young police explorer I found my calling in life. But, As a young police officer I found that the violent suspects on the street are not the only people you have to watch. It is the officer who was hired on to the department (pre-2000) before polygraphs were standard for all new hires and a substantial vetting in a backround investigation.
To those children of the officers who are eradicated, your parent was not the individual you thought they were. As you get older,you will see the evidence that your parent was a tyrant who loss their ethos and instead followed the path of moral corruptness. They conspired to hide and suppress the truth of misconduct on others behalfs. Your parent will have a name and plaque on the fallen officers memorial in D.C. But, In all honesty, your parents name will be a reminder to other officers to maintain the oath they swore and to stay along the shoreline that has guided them from childhood to that of a local, state, or federal law enforcement officer.
Your lack of ethics and conspiring to wrong a just individual are over.

Suppressing the truth will leave to deadly consequences for you and your family. There will be an element of surprise where you work, live, eat, and sleep. I will utilize ISR at your home, workplace, and all locations in between. I will utilize OSINT to discover your residences, spouses workplaces, and childrens schools. IMINT to coordinate and plan attacks on your fixed locations. Its amazing whats on NIPR. HUMINT will be utilized to collect personal schedules of targets. I never had the opportunity to have a family of my own, Im terminating yours. Quan, Anderson, Evans, and BOR members Look your wives/husbands and surviving children directly in the face and tell them the truth as to why your children are dead.
Never allow a LAPPL union attorney to be a retired LAPD Captain,(XXX). He doesnt work for you, your interest, or your name. He works for the department, period. His job is to protect the department from civil lawsuits being filed and their best interest which is the almighty dollar. His loyalty is to the department, not his client. Even when he knowingly knows your innocent and the BOR also knows your innocent after Christopher Gettler stated on videotape that he was kicked and Evans attorney confessed to the BOR off the record that she kicked Gettler.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants-TJ. This quote is not directed toward the US government which I fully support 100%. This is toward the LAPD who can not monitor itself. The consent decree should not have been lifted, ever.
I know your TTPs, (techniques, tactics, and procedures). Any threat assessments you generate will be useless. This is simple, I know your TTPs and PPRs. I will mitigate any of your attempts at preservation. ORM is my friend. I will mitigate all risks, threats and hazards. I assure you that Incident Command Posts will be target rich environments. KMA-367 license plate frames are great target indicators and make target selection even easier.
I will conduct DA operations to destroy, exploit and seize designated targets. If unsuccessful or unable to meet objectives in these initial small-scale offensive actions, I will reassess my BDA and re-attack until objectives are met. I have nothing to lose. My personal casualty means nothing. Just alike AAFs, ACMs, and AIFs, you can not prevail against an enemy combatant who has no fear of death. An enemy who embraces death is a lose, lose situation for their enemy combatants.
Hopefully you analyst have done your homework. You are aware that I have always been the top shot, highest score, an expert in rifle qualifications in every unit Ive been in. I will utilize every bit of small arms training, demolition, ordnance, and survival training Ive been given.
Do you know why we are unsuccessful in asymmetrical and guerrilla warfare in CENTCOM theatre of operations? Ill tell you. Its not the inefficiency of our combatant commanders, planning, readiness or training of troops. Much like the Vietnam war, ACM, AAF, foreign fighters, Jihadist, and JAM have nothing to lose. They embrace death as it is a way of life. I simply dont fear it. I am the walking exigent circumstance you created.
The Violence of action will be HIGH. I am the reason TAC alert was established. I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in LAPD uniform whether on or off duty. ISR is my strength and your weakness. You will now live the life of the prey. Your RDs and homes away from work will be my AO and battle space. I will utilize every tool within INT collections that I learned from NMITC in Dam Neck. You have misjudged a sleeping giant. There is no conventional threat assessment for me. JAM, New Baath party, 1920 rev BGE, ACM, AAF, AQAP, AQIM and AQIZ have nothing on me. Do not deploy airships or gunships. SA-7 Manpads will be waiting. As you know I also own Barrett .50′s so your APC are defunct and futile.
You better have all your officers radio/phone muster (code 1) on or off duty every hour, on the hour.
Do not attempt to shadow or conduct any type of ISR on me. I have the inventory listing of all UC vehicles at Piper Tech and the home addresses of any INT analyst at JRIC and detachment locations. My POA is always POI and always true. This will be a war of attrition and a Pyrrhic and Camdean Victory for myself. You may have the resources and manpower but you are reactive and predictable in your op plans and TTPs. I have the strength and benefits of being unpredictable, unconventional, and unforgiving. Do not waste your time with briefs and tabletops.

I feel sorry for those who are basically good but terribly naive, who these days isn't aware that modern western police forces are essentially the most highly organised criminals on the planet. Did they think the Police were some force for Goodness and righteousness. Oh Brother, the meltdown when that guy found out the truth! If he wanted to help people he should have worked at a homeless shelter, not become a Policeman. I remember when one of our notorious corrupt police detectives Roger Rogerson, said "That to be a good cop, you have to be a good criminal"

It was an awesome read....some of it may have been fabricated to an extent, but somehow I do not believe so.......stereotypes become reinforced once again based on real life situations.
The disgruntled ex-officer did seem to descend into a bit of madness, however, and overtly threaten the entire department's safety and well-being......I don't think that is going to help this man's case by any means.

Former LAPD sergeant awarded nearly $3M in retaliation lawsuit
By City News Service
Posted: 11/29/2012 12:41:55 PM PST
Updated: 11/29/2012 12:42:43 PM PST
LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A former Los Angeles police sergeant who said he was forced to quit his job after being retaliated against for corroborating a colleague's accusations of racism by a supervisor was today awarded nearly $2.9 million.
A Los Angeles Superior Court jury deliberated for part of Wednesday afternoon and this morning before finding in favor of former Newton Division Sgt. Pedro Torres in his constructive termination and retaliation lawsuit against the city.
Deputy City Attorney Daniel Aguilera declined to comment on the verdict.
Torres said he had to leave his job after 15 years in 2011 because the stress from the retaliation caused panic attacks and other health problems so severe he could no longer continue with the department.
"This was the end of his career, a career, I might add, that he loved," his attorney, Gregory W. Smith, told jurors Wednesday during final arguments.
Torres' other lawyer, Boros Koron, said today his client had to wait more than three years for his case to get to trial because it went before several different judges. One of the bench officers, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Frederick Shaller, voluntarily removed himself because his son is an attorney for the city of Los Angeles.
Judge James Dunn ultimately presided over the trial, and Torres "finally got his day in court," Koron said.
Torres, a divorced father of two daughters, is prevented under the terms of his disability
retirement from working in law enforcement again or from carrying a firearm, Koron said.
In 2008, Torres gave deposition and trial testimony supporting LAPD Officer Robert Hill's allegations against Hill's supervisor, Newton Division Sgt. Gilbert Curtis, Smith said.
Hill, who is white, claimed he was transferred to another station and given an inferior work assignment because he told supervisors in 2004 that Curtis made racist statements about blacks and Latinos. A Los Angeles Superior Court jury awarded Hill $3.12 million.
Smith maintained that in retaliation, LAPD management denied Torres a promotion to detective and suspended him for five days for allegedly using excessive force to save a kidnapping victim.
In the abduction incident, Torres shot out the tires of a van in which a woman was being held against her will by two men, Smith said. After initially touting Torres' actions as heroic in a news release describing the incident, the LAPD later punished him with the suspension, saying he violated department policy against firing a weapon at a moving vehicle, Smith said.
Torres took the action to save the woman's life, Smith said.
Deputy City Attorney Richard Loomis, who along with Aguilera handled the city's defense during trial, downplayed the discipline, saying the number of days Torres was suspended was minimal. He also said officers cannot justify actions simply by stating that the results were good.

This little nugget comes buried in the fourth paragraph of a preseason game writeup.
Ryan received a call at 7 in the morning the day before the game from Bengals coach Marvin Lewis, who was on the same staff with Ryan in Baltimore, with a plea: Don't run the Wildcat with Tebow.
The Jets obliged Lewis and Tebow did a serviceable job pretending he was a real quarterback under center for two quarters. But, why in the world would Marvin Lewis not want the Jets to run the wildcat? Is it not the point of preseason games to learn and prepare for the regular season, without all the drama of things like losses and crippling wildcat plays actually meaning anything?
Maybe Marvin Lewis is ahead of the curve, though. Maybe he's got some super secret wildcat defense he does not want the world to see. Whatever the reason, it worked. The Bengals, despite what ESPN will tell you, beat the New York Tebows 17-6.

I tend to find that that combination results in higher quality images than using a waterproof camera without a housing. That said, the photography is challenging. The camera is slow to focus in the low light conditions underwater, and the fish rarely stay still long enough for a really sharp picture.
