Whoa... My stepson actually pointed this out to me this weekend and it is frightening. His high school current events class is watching this as it unfolds. We discussed the issue and what they’re saying in class. The kids think he’s just a crazy ticked off lunatic out for revenge, and while on one hand, I think they’re missing a major issue that CNN is dancing around. Scandal has been HUGE in the LAPD throughout history. This guy was fired for what was called false accusation but what he claims was legitimate whistle blowing. If his allegations were true it could have tipped off another scandal. Instead he was fired. I can see why he feels that he was fired as part of a cover up, and now he’s willing to die to show the country what he thinks is true. How many people do you know that are willing to die for something they don’t truly believe in? The LAPD should be looking closer at what he has to say. I’m not saying that it’s ok to kill people to make your point and if he dies in the process of apprehension I’m not sure I’ll shed any tears, but his point needs to be looked into. It may end up another black mark on LAPD record, but which is worse, not investigating and he keeps killing, or investigating and he stop? Is it worse to give a murderer what he wants to make him stop or to let him keep on killing? Slippery slope and horrible precedence, I know. Aren’t innocent lives worth it?

In San Francisco, pop-up incubator SQFT attempts to showcase the potential of temporary business for economic development. Once a strategy for retailers to build brand awareness and coolness cred in a flashy spectacle (now you see us, now you don't), the pop-up shop has transformed into a tool of urban revitilization. In San Francisco, the city government has partnered with a pop-up incubator called SQFT to help activate a downtrodden neighborhood's potential with a jolt of temporary business inserted into retail deadspace. Today, SQFT celebrates its launch by bringing a slice of life to a string of blocks in San Francisco's Mid-Market with a pop-up library, yoga studio, and cafe, among other temporary businesses...
