The attorney who represented Odufuwa in the robbery case did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Oduwufa, 37, had been accused of handing a teller a note demanding money, FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth reported at the time.

A court had ordered an examination into her competency just two weeks before the dismissal, records show....

Earlier I saw this Bogalusa Police investigating two crime scenes, mayor pleads for a stop to violence from tv station WDSU

"The senseless shooting in Bogalusa another tragic reminder of the pain that violent crime brings with it. First I ask that our residents remain calm while the police continue their investigation. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims family and friends. As your Mayor and as a Mother I plead on behalf of our community and for our children, today must mean enough is finally enough. Stop the violence! See something, say something. I demand that Louisiana State Police come in to aid BPD & WPSO."

certainly the opposite of wanting to cut police AND a call for the community to start "tattling" to them to boot!

Lovely property it happened on shown in this video report, definitely reeks of that "live free or die" compound ethos in many "far north" climes,

4 children dead in Alaska after boy fatally shoots siblings before turning gun on himself, authorities say

then there's the 7 kids + 1 away at the time, no using birth control there. I might shoot myself too if I was a 15 yr. old looking at that Fairbanks future, winter coming again soon, just sayin'

It has nothing to do with the Pride Parade, just the same day. Is all Blacks in a Black neighborhood, mostly young men.

They even appeared to back down from some taunts (sometimes at direction of their commander)

The Chief gives a good presser. Says what he knows. Says what he didn't know. And supports his cops:

A: "No." https://t.co/hgAd9Fs9qF https://t.co/hXIldSOBsz
— Peter Moskos (@PeterMoskos) July 29, 2022

This notion that police use-of-force (punching) is inherently bad needs to be pushed back on. It's important both for public safety and police safety. The criminal had a loaded gun (and the cops, too) and nobody got shot. That's a success.

My last straw was when he wrote a column with woke bitching about how the Loony Tunes character Pepe LePew was encouraging bad male behavior and rape culture! HUH?!!! Guess he didn't get the title "Loony Tunes" , how each character except Bugs is "LOONY" and is to be ridiculed and a laughing stock and are always losers! This is just more of the same cluelessness, Blow lives on another planet from the rest of us. Really I don't get why he still has his job. For chrissake even George Will is more savvy about real people. Moskos is being facetious, but I would not at all be surprised if Blow has never met an immigrant.

The Office has been hemorrhaging talent. From seasoned, well-respected veteran prosecutors to many of the younger up-and-coming ASAs. People are leaving in droves. It is clear as to why. It is not because of Covid and

This Administration routinely claims that they have shifted their focus from prosecuting low level crimes so that they can focus their resources on fighting violent crime and drivers of violence. This is simply not true. If this Administration was truly concerned with effectively fighting violent crime, then they would fully staff those courtrooms and Units. Not create more useless policy positions on the Executive Staff at the expense of hiring more ASAs who can work in the trenches

Mass shooting leaves 2 dead, 6 injured on Detroit's west side

WCMU | By Russ McNamara Published August 1, 2022 at 7:06 PM EDT

Six people are injured and two people are dead following a mass shooting on Detroit's west side early Sunday morning.

Police say the incident — on Coyle near Plymouth — had to do with a dispute between neighbors and a car blocking a driveway. A suspect was taken into custody without incident by Detroit police.

The two people killed were a 39-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man.

DPD Chief James White says the suspect — a man with a military background in his 30s — was well-armed.

"They recovered 11 weapons — again, 11 weapons — from this home that were strategically placed throughout the home so as he moved through the home he would have access to these weapons."

White says people need to find solutions to problems without using violence.

"The levels of crime that we're seeing in our city is unacceptable," White stated. "This country's obsession with weapons and mass shootings. And it's just unacceptable, and we can do better, and we have to do better. And I'm not going to get on a political platform about guns. It's not about guns. It's about using guns to make poor choices and poor decisions that we've seen."

It was a violent weekend in Detroit, with seven people killed and 24 more injured in a string of shootings around the city.

But plenty are still saying that police like DPD Chief James White, quoted above, are the problem, because he doesn't care about Black lives and is part of a systemically racist system, something along those lines. Here's Chief White's official portrait

The APD should be lauded! Sounds like a great force that the city should be proud of. especially at a time when fewer and fewer want the job. If you're terrified, the guns in NM should be what's terrifying you the most, not tribal hatreds:

Police say they arrested 51-year-old Muhammad Syed and charged him in the murder of two Muslim men in Albuquerque. They are working on possible charges for the murder of two other Muslim men.

oh and traffic stops? not just a tool to harass Black people. Next time you see a motley crew of 8 riding in a transport van without a rear license plate, maybe even say something to 911?

Lincoln Park traffic stop leads to a cache of guns, pot, cash, cops say; 5 charged

@ CWB Chicago, Aug. 5

Caption: Chicago police tweeted this image of items they
allegedly recovered during their investigation.

Three adults and two juveniles are facing a variety of charges after Chicago police allegedly discovered a cache of guns, armor-piercing bullets, marijuana, and cash during a traffic stop investigation that began in Lincoln Park.

Prosecutors said officers stopped a transport van in the 2600 block of North Clark around 8 p.m. Tuesday because it lacked a rear license plate.

The van’s owner, Delontea Randle-Trice, gave police permission to search the van, Assistant State’s Attorney Tilesha Jackson said.

On the front passenger floorboard, cops found an unzipped shoulder bag that contained a loaded 9-millimeter ghost gun, another loaded magazine, and an unloaded magazine, Jackson alleged. There were also two bags of green-tipped ammunition that matched three similar rounds that were found in the front passenger’s pocket, Jackson continued.

Shomari Randle-Trice, who was allegedly the front seat passenger, is charged with unlawful use of a weapon and possession of armor-piercing bullets, both felonies.

According to Jackson, police discovered three more guns in the van, including one with an automatic-fire switch and extended ammunition magazines. A 17-year-old boy is charged with three felony counts of unlawful use of a weapon and felony unlawful use of a machine gun, a CPD spokesperson said.

Cops took eight people from the van into the station for questioning, according to a tweet by CPD spokesperson Tom Ahern.

At the station, one of the passengers told police that Delontea Randle-Trice had a rifle and cannabis in his downtown hotel room, Jackson said. Police went to the Langham Chicago Hotel, 330 North Wabash, and encountered a man in the lobby with high-end luggage and several suitcases, officials said.

According to Jackson, the cops asked the man if he knew Delontea, and the man said they were brothers.

Police recovered an AM-15 short-barreled rifle loaded with armor-piercing bullets from one of the bags, Jackson said. They also allegedly found more than a pound of suspected cannabis.

Delontea Randle-Trice, 22, is charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, unlawful use of armor-piercing bullets, and unlawful possession of cannabis.

His private attorney, Robert Ingles, said he has no adult background and has used a wheelchair since being shot seven years ago. He denies all of the allegations, Ingles said.

A 15-year-old girl in the van is charged with misdemeanor possession of ammunition, and Demarion Watson, 18, is charged with misdemeanor possession of cannabis, according to CPD.

Judge Maryam Ahmad set bail for Delontea Randle-Trice at $50,000 with electronic monitoring. He must post 10% of the bail amount to go home.

Shomari Randle-Trice must post a $2,000 bail deposit, she said.
