LAPD’s Office of the Inspector General just released a report on an audit of access and sharing confidential information in sexual assault investigations. Among their findings, the department “lacks clear guidance and standardized procedures on when and how to restrict access…” to case info.

NYT running “I had melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.” Alongside a Philip Morris International ad is…

Regardless, incredible piece from friend Samuel Braslow: his struggle to stay alive, and a new treatment for melanoma being denied by the FDA.

This was an extremely difficult piece to write, with more re-writes than I think I’ve ever forced myself to do.

I was able to speak to about a dozen family members and visit one detainee within Adelanto ICE Processing Center. Please give it a peak.

LAPD once again calling unlawful assembly outside of the Douglas bar as fans are watching the dodger game via laptop and radio the bar turned the tv off. About 30 minutes ago, they called it for the first time and said 5 minutes. Now giving 20 minutes to disperse. Top of the 10th.

LAPD has commanded The Douglas, the nearest bar to Dodger Stadium to turn off the televisions. They are now calling unlawful assembly, though as far as I can tell the only signs of anything are people on the sidewalk. It is the 9th inning.

In case you’re wondering why I love LA I just got the hookup on sugar skull face, went to the goth CVS in east Los and got called the devil for said sugar skull face, and am on my way to Plaza Olvera to watch a bicycle takeover for game 7. I’m nursing a hangover from a Blade themed Blood Rave.
