New Tough California Gun Laws To Take Effect Friday
Those guns will not be allowed to be displayed in public unless they are pink, red or other bright colors so they are not mistaken for the real thing. Advocates said it would help law enforcement avoid tragic mistakes like the 2013 case in which a Santa Rosa boy was killed by Sonoma County sheriff's deputies who mistook his toy gun for a real weapon.

Rhetoric over police force escalates in first full year post-Ferguson
In the first full year after the infamous 2014 police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, cities across the country have grappled with unprecedented scrutiny from community members, civil-rights groups and media over police use of force. The Bay Area is firmly entrenched in that national conversation, but like the rest of the country, it appears that what has risen is the awareness of events like officer-involved shootings rather than the actual frequency of those incidents, which have either stayed steady or seen only modest fluctuations.

Private partnership recommended for LA Convention Center expansion
The Los Angeles City Council had tentatively approved an old-school method of expanding the Convention Center — borrowing money, hiring a contractor and then operating it. But a top city administrator this week recommended putting the project into private hands. City Administrative Officer Miguel Santana recommends a public-private partnership to take advantage of downtown's building boom. The private partner would design, build, finance, operate and maintain the center, plus businesses and homes on the city land. It would also reap much of the profit.
