Case #2 - The People vs Former Carson Deputy Ed Torres (...and while we’re on the subject of shotguns)

Ed Torres designed a new shotgun obstacle course. He and Ruben Alvarez were on foot looking for a bad guy. They came to a fence they had to climb over. Ruben went first then Ed tried to pass the shotgun over the fence to him. Midway over, the shotgun went, “BOOM!” Ruben’s underwear went smelly and Ed went excuse making. Nobody else has tried Ed “Boom Boom” Torres’ shotgun obstacle course since. Patent pending.

VERDICT – Ed “Boom Boom” Torres, this Court finds you Guilty of Assault With A Deadly Weapon On A Peace Officer.
SENTENCE – At dawn you are to be shot 21 times by a firing squad using the bean bag shotguns, while wearing Ruben’s underwear as a blindfold.

Case #11- The LASD vs L.A.P.D. (playing cops and cops)

In September 1987, the Carson patrol area known as, "Tortilla Flats", was suffering a rash of burglaries. To combat this, Deputy Ray Gayton-Jacob and Al Harris, who were training officers at the time, came up with a burglary suppression plan. On, about, Wednesday, September 14, 1987, Ray and his trainee would be dressed in full uniform, but in an unmarked, Chevy Malibu, detective car. They would cruise the Tortilla Flats neighborhood looking for burglars. Al and his trainee, would remain outside of the neighborhood in a regular patrol car. If Ray and his partner saw something suspicious, they would keep an eye on it and call in Al and his trainee to check it out. Things were quiet, until about 1:00 A.M.. Ray, and his trainee, had just finished jamming a hype at Torrance Boulevard and New Hampshire Avenue and had resumed their patrol. Ray spotted a black and white patrol car coming slowly their way. Ray assumed it was Al. Ray assumed wrong. It was an L.A.

Case #65 - re The People vs Don Chanler (A lesson for all trainees)

Case #65 - re The People vs Don Chanler ( A lesson for all trainees ) Don Chanler was the Question Cadet in our Academy class, class #226. At the end of each long day, one of the staff instructors would come in and, prior to dismissing us for the day, would always ask if anyone had any questions about the day's classes. There was only one cadet who would ever raise his hand. Don Frickin' Chanler. Chanler would immediately raise his hand and the staff instructor would resignedly call his name. Chanler would always ask obvious question, after obvious question, delaying our release for the day with ev-ery sin-gle point-less ques-tion. As with all Question Cadets, only he was interested in what he had to ask. Three years later, Don Frickin Chanler came to Carson with me, Mike Chacon and about 8 other people from our Academy class. In Patrol School, we were not relieved to discover that he had not changed. In fact he had gotten worse, because not only was he the Question C

On Nicknames

On Nicknames My wife once asked me why a large number of my male friends and acquaintances are referred to by nicknames. “Oso”, “Rick the Hawaiian”, “Vic the SEAL”, Chinaman Dave”, “Little Dave”, “Big Dave”, “Mexican Dave”, “Dave the plumber”, “Cliffdiver”, “Bucky”, “the Count”, the “Rock”, “Code 4 Greg”, “White Shaft”, “Bosko”, “Chodown”, “Sexual Chocolate”, “Kianporiguez”, “Krakatoa”, “Brian the Bee Guy”, “Chip” (aka, “Okie”), “Cowboy”, “Spot”, “Seven”, “Red Dot”, “Spiderman” aka “Turtleman”, “Freddie Krueger” and “Smilin' Bob”, were a few. In pretty much any group, made up mostly of men, you will find that nicknames are common. There are probably more guys nicknamed, “Tex”, in the military than in Texas. Most nicknames are a result of one of the following. - An adapted version of your actual name. “G8”, was so named, because nobody could pronounce his name and there were 8 letters in it, beginning with “G”. “Bosckovich, which has even more letters, but was at least pro
