Five years ago, Open Vallejo's reporting forced the City of Vallejo to conduct an investigation into “badge bending” by killer cops. The city buried the findings so @aclu-norcal.bsky.social sued. On appeal and with Open Vallejo as amicus, a court has ordered the full investigation's release.

When I was like six, I asked my parents to send me to auditions to be a child actor.
They asked why I wanted to be an actor and I said I needed money.
