Quality Hire

I read another report that said he had two body cams, a departmental cam and his own cam.
Found it. According to Fox News:

The 14-year career officer told [Fox News’s Bill] Melugin that he recorded the interaction on both his official department-issued bodycam and a personal one he bought to “protect himself from false allegations” as the public continues to demonize police following the death of George Floyd last year.

Also, TMZ says the woman’s claim to be a teacher might need an asterisk. The two colleges she claims to have worked for say she hasn’t been employed since 2016 and 2017. They also say she hasn’t been employed by any institution in the Los Angeles Community College District since the Spring semester of 2017.

And in what capacity? Lunch lady, perchance, Mercedes notwithstanding?

She’s a real prize

The guy missed a bet when the man (?) said he didn’t think that those things are happening. He should have said, “Then we’re agreed that such things would be reprehensible if they occurred, correct?”

It seems odd to wear two body cams unless he doesn’t trust his department to have his back.

He’s a deputy, so it depends if he’s part of the current Sheriff’s little clique. Villanueva is a nasty piece of work who’ll back his buddies right or wrong. As soon as he was elected he rehired several who had been kicked out, including one fired for stalking, domestic violence, and lying to Internal Affairs. That kicked off a power struggle with the Board of Supervisors (who are also assholes), which the Board ultimately won. About the only good thing that can be said for Villanueva is he doesn’t like LA County’s misbegotten DA, George Gascon.

if those individuals are removing themselves from the company over this issue, perhaps they aren’t *that* sensible.
I expect one of two things is true:
1) Singer’s resignation was demanded, not offered;
2) Singer decided the company was a lost cause and chose to take his skills elsewhere.
As a company and a product, Basecamp has long since reached the steady-state point. That’s generally when startup founders punch out anyway.

Violence is everywhere
Somewhat related, a bold use of the word gaslighting.
The damsel in question, aka “Commie DickGurl.”

I think we’ll give that one a post of its own.
Comments that-a-way.

More on the incident:
“The LA County Sheriff’s department told Fox News that the woman in the video called internal affairs and filed a harassment complaint against the deputy immediately after the incident. The department also said that the woman has a history of making false claims against deputies.
Fox News has identified the woman, but she has not responded to the network’s multiple requests for comment.”

“You’re scaring me”
The reflex, entitled ‘respect my feelings’ attitude, while she relentlessly verbally abuses him..

Further on the Basecamp meltdown.

“Racism [and] white supremacy are not things that are so convenient that they only happen when full intention is present, or true malice is present,” the employee said.

Nonsense. They’re extremely convenient. For the accuser.
