Inmates who made masks and furniture for as little as 35 cents an hour say they felt pressure to stay on the job, even as the coronavirus spread through the prison factories.
In June, the Army opened an investigation into complaints that National Guard helicopters, including the Lakota, flew dangerously low over crowds of protesters in Washington, D.C., allegedly in an attempt to intimidate the demonstrators. The Defense Department’s inspector general is now reviewing the findings of the inquiry, which have not been released, an Army spokesman said.
Two days later, Asst. Chief Ron Quigley of the Office of Emergency Services submitted the request to the Guard for aerial monitoring in El Dorado County. The request cited “information of groups forming in the west end of El Dorado County,” the inspector general’s report said.The inspector general’s office interviewed two people from the Guard’s 144th Fighter Wing at Fresno.
It states that an El Dorado sheriff’s officer on the aircraft said the Hell’s Angels “may incite some violence around El Dorado Hills.” As the plane circled over the area, the crew spotted several police vehicles and foot patrols but no disturbances, according to the report.The sheriff’s officers then determined that continuing the mission was unnecessary as “there did not appear to be any crowd activity of interest,” the report says.
“Use of the National Guard for law enforcement support is used only in extreme cases, or after the local government mutual aid system is fully committed.” The statement did not address whether the OES or the Guard considered the situation in El Dorado Hills to be an extreme case.El Dorado County Supervisor John Hidahl, whose district includes most of El Dorado Hills, told The Times he heard several complaints that the sheriff’s and military response to a perceived threat of unrest was overkill.
I don't see why there was any concern. These were all peaceful protests.
You know what? I would certainly hope so!!!!!!
Okay, who from Cal_OES lives there tho?
Of course he's going to deny he authorized the surveillance. What repercussions will anyone face?
reminder that we need to get rid of the Patriot Act. And also a reminder to tell your representatives to vote against the Earn It Act
Why is the default position of people like Baldwin to lie? Do they really think they won’t be caught out.
Really Wow🥺🥺 Anyways, back to real news...
