LAPD Feels Squeeze in Staffing for Coliseum Football
Police staffing for the Coliseum's busiest fall football season in two decades is putting additional strain on LAPD resources, according to department officials.

Horror, heroism of San Bernardino terror shootings revealed

Brock Turner sex assault focuses attention on sex registries
When ex-Stanford University swimmer Brock Turner became a registered sex offender for life last Tuesday, he joined a nationwide list of registered sex criminals that has grown dramatically in recent years to more than 800,000. Even some who have denounced Turner's six-month jail sentence as too lenient for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman question whether he should spend his life with the stigma and onerous restrictions of a registered sex offender.

Going against the grain after Orlando shooting, LGBT group embraces guns
Jonathan Fischer is never sure who's going to be more surprised when he, as he likes to put it, comes out of the gun closet — the gun aficionados who find out he's gay or the gay friends who find out he likes shooting guns. When the 38-year-old television editor showed up last month to a defensive handgun class near Piru with a Glock 27 pistol on his hip, he wore a T-shirt sporting a rainbow-colored AK-47. His “gay-K-47,” he said.

Police departments in at least two states that outfitted their officers with body cameras have now shelved them, blaming new laws requiring videos to be stored longer, which they say would significantly increase the cost.

First responders recount Ground Zero illnesses
Daniel Rodriguez was a police officer on Sept. 11, 2001, who found himself assigned to a temporary morgue near the downed towers, where he said “you can't help but see things.” He became much better known in the days and years afterward when his rich tenor earned him fame as the “The Singing Policeman” and the “voice that healed a nation” in a succession of renditions of the national anthem and “God Bless America” at a 9/11 tribute at Yankee Stadium, on talk shows, at numerous events and funerals.

Abandoned three years ago, Angels Flight now target of graffiti vandals
After a decade working on Bunker Hill, Virginia Franken has grown accustomed to taking the stairs. Angels Flight, the city's historic two-car funicular, has sat idle between Hill and Olive Streets since it derailed in 2013.
