A security guard in Anchorage, Alaska, stopped an active shooter who had been denied access to the bar. Leroy Manogiamanu had been refused entry to the bar earlier, and when he came back, security staff confronted him outside. As one of the security guards retrieved a rifle…
This situation is the perfect example of a criminal’s awareness that there will likely be no repercussions and their ability to manipulate the system. The police officer asks the men in the car he pulled over whether they have bond money, and their reply suggests they believe…

Why does it seem like law enforcement in California is putting more effort into going after people with fireworks than actual criminals? You can steal $950 worth of merchandise with no real consequences, but you get fined if someone else sets fireworks off on your property.…
California residents who launched fireworks for the 4th of July have tickets coming in the mail, thanks to police drones that were taking note. One resident, for example, racked up $100,000 in fines last summer due to the illegal use of fireworks. "If you think you got away…
