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. ...

Retirement party advice

Retirement party advice So March is coming up and we all know what that means. It's retirement season! Retirement can be a very stressful time. I'm not talking about retirement itself, I mean the Retirement Party. People wonder if they should throw a retirement party. If they do, should they sell tickets? If they sell tickets, will anybody buy them? Should they make it a sit down dinner? Should they foot the full bill? Who will come? Should it be invitation only? Will ANYBODY come? So here's my advice. I wondered about throwing a party. Initially I was, "Naw, I don't want to sell tickets. First off, what if nobody buys them, or even worse, it's like the football party I threw in 2000 where only three guys from the station showed up and I'd barely said anything more than "Hey" to them in the years I'd known them? Secondly, I don't want to foot the bill for the whole party, 'cause everybody knows, if the dr...

The French Toast Connection

The French Toast Connection So, when we first got married, Michelle couldn't cook. As a bachelor, I had survived on oatmeal, eggs, sandwiches, spaghetti, salad and canned soup and that was good enough for me. Michelle's cooking skills were on par with mine, except my eggs, sandwiches, spaghetti and salads were better. Michelle, however, wanted to improve her cooking skills so, every couple of months, she would try a new recipe on us. Sometimes it was good, sometimes it was okay, sometimes it didn't turn out so well. One morning, when Logan was about three years old and Conner was about six, Michelle decided to give french toast a go for the first time. I like french toast, but the boys had never had it. Michelle called us, saying breakfast was about ready. We all sat down in our usual places. Michelle next to me and the boys across from us. Michelle put a slice of french toast on each of our plate...
