LAPD Officers Join Compton Students For Father-Daughter Dance
Friday was a night of celebration in Watts for dozens of young princesses. The gymnasium at Compton Avenue Elementary School magically transformed into a beautiful ballroom - all for the annual father-daughter dance. The music was thumping, feet were moving and smiles were everywhere! "I really like the fact that these beautiful ladies are being empowered. They're being shown that they are princesses in their own right, and all are individuals and all are appreciated here," father Jesse Melano said. "I think it's cool, it's really fun to experience, and we really like it. I'm with my dad and all my friends," fifth-grader Ashley Letelier said. But not all of these young ladies have a father figure in their lives, so a number of local officers from the Los Angeles Police Department South Bureau danced in for the night.

Arrest Made In Hit-And-Run Crash That Left LAPD Officer With Broken Leg
Police have arrested the hit-and-run driver of an SUV they said struck a Los Angeles Police Department motorcycle officer, severely injuring him. “The driver was a juvenile so I can't give you much information about him,” LAPD Lt. Abe Rangel of the Central Traffic Division. The male juvenile was allegedly spotted leaving the scene by a security guard who was near the crash site, Rangel said. That guard flagged down an officer who went after the driver. The unidentified motorcycle officer — who suffered a broken leg — was listed in serious but stable condition, Rangel said. The crash happened about 9:20 p.m. Saturday, at the intersection of Central Avenue and Olympic Boulevard, Rangel said. The preliminary investigation indicated the SUV driver was at fault and made an illegal left turn in front of the motorcycle officer, Rangel said.

‘Knock-Knock' Burglary Arrests Take Crew Off Valley Streets
Los Angeles police on Friday announced the arrests of four people suspected in “knock-knock”-style burglaries, and detectives are trying to determine if the suspects are part of a burglary crew combing Southern California for unwitting victims. Officials suspect that the four have committed “knock-knock”-style burglaries in areas as far apart as the San Fernando Valley, the San Gabriel Valley and the South Bay. Around 10:30 a.m. Monday, investigators from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Major Crimes Bureau, Burglary-Task Force followed a car with suspected gang members believed to be involved in organized residential burglaries, authorities said. The car was followed into residential neighborhoods in Northridge and Porter Ranch before going to San Fernando and Sylmar, sheriff's department officials said. Authorities said documented L.A.-area gang member Malik Trevon Oaks, 18, of Los Angeles, exited the car and walked into a cul-de-sac on the 14600 block of Rex Street in Sylmar.

Suspects At Large Following Drive-By Shooting Of Cyclist, Hit-And-Run In South LA
Authorities believe a drive-by shooting of a cyclist that occurred mere blocks from a hit-and-run in South Los Angeles were related. The first incident on Jefferson and Crenshaw boulevards unfolded just after 2 a.m. Sunday. That's where paramedics responded to treat a man who appeared to have been shot in the leg while riding his bicycle. Police have classified the incident as a drive-by shooting, and indicate that someone driving by opened fire. The man was taken to the hospital and is expected to be OK. At last word, he was said to be in stable condition. A few minutes later and mere blocks away, first responders were dispatched to Jefferson Boulevard and Arlington Avenue for a hit-and-run. Police say the driver of the silver sedan struck a vehicle, but didn't remain at the scene. Rather, police suspect that the person fled on foot. Through the course of that investigation, police said they believe the driver is also suspected of being the shooter in the earlier drive-by shooting. Investigators are searching for any information related to these two crimes, and indicate that they don't have a good description of the suspects. They're hoping someone comes forward with information.

Surveillance Video Released To Help Catch Echo Park Taco Truck Stabbing Suspect
Authorities released surveillance video Thursday of a man they suspect is responsible for a brutal stabbing near a taco truck in Echo Park. The suspect is seen on surveillance video walking along a street near the area where authorities believe he committed the act.

3 Men ‘Tunneled Through' Day Spa to Break Into Vape Shop in Woodland Hills: LAPD
Three men who broke into a Woodland Hills salon in order to burglarize a neighboring vape business were caught on camera and are being sought by police. Images of the men were released Friday morning by the Los Angeles Police Department, which asked anyone who recognizes the men to contact investigators. The break-in occurred around 1:30 a.m. April 26 at two businesses in the 22700 block of Ventura Boulevard. The burglars pried open the rear door of a day spa then “tunneled through” adjoining walls to Hidden Vape, taking cash and vaping accessories, according to an LAPD news release. They arrived with a bag of tools, banging through several walls until they gained access to the vape shop. The burglars caused $30,000 in property damage, police said. At one point, each man was seen clearly in surveillance video. “There's no modesty on the part of these burglars, who looked right into the cameras,” said Lt. Paul Weber, commanding officer of the Topanga Detective Division, in the release. “Their intent was clear, and I would suspect this was not their first burglary.”

Debate Over Sex Offenders Moves To Court As California Undertakes Prison Parole Overhaul
A Los Angeles-based nonprofit is claiming California prison officials have undermined last fall's ballot measure to overhaul the state's parole process by excluding sex offenders from consideration for early release. The Alliance for Constitutional Sex Offense Laws, which advocates for the rights of those convicted of sex crimes and their families, says the exemption — written into newly released guidelines to implement Proposition 57 — “impermissibly restricts and impairs the scope” of the initiative. Those regulations were released in March and won initial approval from state regulators a month later. But the original ballot measure did not exclude inmates convicted of sex crimes from the chance of getting an earlier hearing before the state parole board.

State releases new assault weapon rules after threat of legal action
Regulations on the ownership and registration of assault weapons in California were released to the public late Thursday after a coalition of Second Amendment proponents threatened legal action against state agencies if the rules were not disclosed. The regulations, which the California Department of Justice initially said might not be released for 30 days, went online late in the afternoon after attorneys for the coalition threatened to go to court to obtain them. The regulations are part of gun legislation passed in 2016 intended to ban the sale of guns that circumvent a previously passed assault weapon law with reloading devices called “bullet buttons,” and require the registration of semi-automatic, center-fire rifles or pistols that lack a fixed magazine with the state DOJ by January 2018.

In Reversal, L.A. Upholds Election Rejecting Skid Row Neighborhood Council
Los Angeles officials have certified the results of an April election that rejected efforts to form a skid row neighborhood council. Activists in the epicenter of the city's homelessness, who were seeking to break away from the Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council, had challenged the voting. They accused the larger council of using a “front group” to campaign illegally against the secession bid — and a three-member panel recommended an investigation and new election. But the city's Department of Neighborhood Empowerment tossed out that recommendation late Friday. A letter signed by general manager Grayce Liu said that even if the challenges were upheld, “there was no factual basis to determine that ... [they] would have made a difference in the final election results.” The letter said the skid row backers could submit a new petition for a separate neighborhood council in 2018. Resident Tom Grode, one of the effort's organizers, called the decision outrageous. Noting that the three-member panel had been made up of neighborhood council officers from around Los Angeles, Grode said the department “not only rejected skid row, it rejected the city.”

As crime rates rise and victims continue to be marginalized by some state legislators, the Los Angeles Times again provided a "criminal justice reform" advocate with a platform to expound on how the system is too harsh.

State Senate bill would limit prosecutor IDs in judges' races
Candidates in California judicial elections, whose names and qualifications are usually little-known to the public, can sometimes tilt the outcome by describing themselves on the ballot as a "gang violence prosecutor" or "domestic violence prosecutor." Legislation now awaiting a vote in the state Senate, and supported by the state's judges, would require prosecutors seeking judicial office to restrict their self-descriptions to their titles - "deputy district attorney" or simply "attorney at law."

How violent criminals get out of prison early under Prop. 57
Welcome to the new, crazy world of California prison sentencing. It seems that under Prop. 57, law-abiding citizens get screwed with more crime, criminals get out of jail early and the state claims it's saving the taxpayers money. Michelle Hanisee, President of the Association of Los Angeles Deputy District Attorneys, says Governor Jerry Brown promised that there was no way violent criminals would be released early under Prop. 57. But there is a huge loophole.
