Follow-Up Story to Former Mesa Police Chief George Gascon: He's "Moved-on" > Resigning His Record of Failure In San Francisco as (Say What?) District Attorney


Now this is really interesting! Hmmm...Former Mesa Police Chief succeeded now presidential candidate Kamala Harris as the district attorney. Apparently Gascon doesn't appear to be moving in that 
direction anytime soImage result for george gascon resignson - he's headed to Los Angeles 
Just a year ago, Gascon announced he would not seek re-election this year, citing his 90-year-old mother’s failing health at the time and a desire to be there for her.
Gascon is the first Latino to be San Francisco’s district attorney.
Prior to becoming district attorney, Gascon served as the city’s police chief. He has also served as the police chief for Mesa, Arizona, and as assistant chief in the Los Angeles Police Department.
Here's the headline story https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF)San Francisco district attorney George Gascon on Thursday announced his resignation in a letter to his staff. According to the letter, his last day Mr. Gascón said on Thursday that he was resigning as district attorney of San Francisco to prepare to challenge Ms. Lacey in the race for district attorney of Los Angeles. . . In a note to his staff, Mr. Gascón, 66, said he would leave office on Oct. 18. He wrote that he and his wife, Fabiola, “are returning to Los Angeles to rejoin our family and explore a run for district attorney. Making our communities safer and more equitable remains my life’s work, and I’m simply not ready to slow down and put public service behind me.”

An Accident Waiting To Happen Here In Downtown Mesa > and it did! A Train Wreck Goes Off-Track


Mesa train derailment

Residents here in downtown who live within blocks of the intersection of South Center Street/Broadway have made noise complaints for years when these trains make the turn onto Broadway with the high-decibel blasting of way-too-many extremely loud ear-shattering toots and nerve-shattering teeth-gritting metal shrieks of wheels hitting the tracks. It is A QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUE
________________________________________________________________
When one resident asked District4 Council member Jennifer Duff to look into the problem, she replied "There's nothing that can be done." 
Now that is really hard, if not impossible to believe
Overturned train cars block intersection in Mesa
  • Posted 


MESA, AZ (3TV/CBS5) -- Some overturned railroad cars in Mesa snarled traffic in the area for hours.
The derailment happened near Broadway Road and Center Streetaround 8 p.m. Thursday.
Arizona's Family news chopper flew over the scene of the derailment. We counted close to a dozen cars that had flipped on their sides.
The cars went off the tracks right as track turns.
The incident caused Broadway Road to be completely blocked.
All eastbound and westbound traffic near Center Street is expected to be restricted for most of the night.
No injuries were reported.

Who Do You Trust To Fix The Problem with Police??



"UNITED IN CHRIST A CALL TO PRAYER," reads a peculiar flyer that advertises a Christian vigil and shows Phoenix Chief Jeri Williams and other officers with their heads bowed and hands folded. The police-themed vigil, apparently featuring Chief Williams, was set to be held Friday, October 4, outside Phoenix City Council Chambers. 

Phoenix Police 'United in Christ' Event Sparks Backlash

But the event is being put off after the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona argued that the Constitution prohibits government agencies from holding such prayer services. A newsletter promoting the event indicates that this isn't the first Phoenix police-led prayer vigil, but the sixth.

The Mike & Martha Show (with Doug Ducey) : Claiming 'Common Values' with Arizona's Latino Leaders

“I think the values that this administration has stood for, of faith and family and the sanctity of life and freedom, those are all values that are synonymous with the Hispanic-American community,” Pence said after the meeting.
 Vice President Mike Pence touted economic gains among Arizona's Latino community and defended President Trump at a Thursday morning roundtable event in Scottsdale.
Huh? The Hypocrisy of it all with his hand-picked 'Hispanic-Americans'
In a Baptist church in Scottsdale?? O Lordy! Gag me . . .
THEY'RE ALL EATING THEIR OWN DOG FOOD

"Pence’s trip also comes as polls have started flagging Arizona, traditionally a red state, as a potential swing state in the 2020 presidential race. 
As the state has grown and amassed a larger Latino population, some say the tides could be changing.
Perhaps accordingly, Pence spent most of his visit on Thursday morning touting the economic gains made among Arizona’s Latino business leaders since Trump assumed office.
QUESTION: Does anyone recognize the chosen Latino leaders that were invited?
