Days ahead of trial, a federal judge has dismissed an indictment against a TikTok streamer shot by ICE earlier this year, citing constitutional violations by the government. In a Saturday order, U.S. District Judge Fernando M. Olguin cited the deprivation of Carlitos Ricardo Parias' access to counsel while held in Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention and the government's failure to comply with discovery deadlines - including the timely release of body worn camera footage that captured the shooting.
A 36-year-old man carrying a broken shovel charged at an Anaheim police officer before the officer fatally shot him outside an elementary school last month, body-worn camera footage shows. Police first received a call around 12:10 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 15, about a suspicious man standing outside a home in the 1100 block of North Columbine Street and holding a brick, Sgt. Jacob Gallacher said in a video posted on the Anaheim Police Department's YouTube page.
32-year-old Jasmine Gao became the victim of an officer-involved shooting 0n November 19, 2024 in the parking lot of Union City Station, and the earliest reports about the incident were confusing. BART said that Gao had assaulted a BART police officer, but a subsequent release of bodyworn camera footage from the incident showed that no assault occurred. A BART police officer, Nicholas Poblete, claimed that he was dragged by Gao's vehicle when she attempted to drive away.
The footage shows the prosecutor misstating the law as she demands the cops shut off their bodycams (they refuse as she was a suspect, not a victim). Nearly a dozen times Hogan Flanagan repeats, "I'm an A.G., I'm an A.G.," as she's being ushered into the police cruiser. As if the legal version of "don't you know who I am?" wasn't enough, Hogan Flanagan tops it with this kiss of death: "Buddy, you're gonna regret this. You're gonna regret it."
