1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Cam. I am six forty. You're listening to the John

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: and Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Ken

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: is Away today. You have the chase on in the room? Yeah,

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: I do. And there's this guy looks like he's sucking

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,159
Speaker 1: helium from a balloon in this white pickup truck and

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: there are a bunch of police cars behind him. We

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: have no idea why they were chasing him. But can

8
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: you see that big white balloon? Yes, I can. I've

9
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: been watching it for about five minutes. He really threw

10
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: me off there. I see him sucking helium from It's like,

11
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: what there's a dog running by now? Oh yeah, he's

12
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: he's right at the edge of a cement river. Um oh,

13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: I hope the dog's okay. And it's like a spray.

14
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: It looks like he got himself into a dead end

15
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: up against the river. Um oh. There are cops with

16
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 1: their their guns drawn. The dog just literally walked right

17
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: by them. Well he's it's it's a white pickup and

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: he's got a wood in the back, like tree stumps

19
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: in the back, it looks like. And he was chased

20
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: and the police executed two pittmaneuvers on him and both

21
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: times he got spun around him. Then he jumped over

22
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: the medium and went into the other direction. He's at

23
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: Poplus Street, North Willmington Avenue. Where would that be. I

24
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: know he was in Compton for a time, but I'm

25
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: not familiar with this neighborhood. And he's at the end

26
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: of a street which leads into a fence overlooking the

27
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: Sment River and he's just hanging out. I don't know

28
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: what the heck he's doing. And he's slow. He's sucking

29
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 1: on helium. Are flowing up the balloon? Yes, he look,

30
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: he's he's holding it. Yeah, he's he's he's moving around

31
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: in the front seat with the balloon. All right, Steve

32
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: Gregory's here for another news story. But you've seen everything.

33
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: What's he doing with the balloon here? Why do you

34
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: ask me that? I don't know? But I heard story?

35
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: You know it's this new territory here. No, No, it's

36
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: not actually, um you know helium, I don't know. Lissie

37
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: wants to just hear himself talking a high pitch. Other

38
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: than that, you know, it could be a nitrous Do

39
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: you think he was sucking in or blowing out? Like?

40
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: Was he trying to blow up the balloon or was

41
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: stuck on the helium at it. Yeah, because it could

42
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: be nitrous too, because people you know, oh he's getting

43
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: high then, yeah he's getting high. That would make yeah

44
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: with the paint, he's uffing out of a balloon. But

45
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: you never know, you know, they could they could inserted

46
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: didn't look there you go there is again. So yeah,

47
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of cops. But look at that though there.

48
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 1: Oh yeah that oh look he's you think he's gonna

49
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: push him over into that river? I don't know. I

50
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: mean there's a chain link fence in the way. Oh

51
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: they've blocked him. Yeah he's done now yeah, he's got

52
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: no wordy Oh this would be a standout for a while.

53
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: So he's just gonna sit there and get him. Yeah.

54
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: And you know, yesterday I just went on the Elle

55
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: County Sheriff's Pursuit training track. Yes, yeah, so I got

56
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: to go up and drive the cars yesterday. It was fantastic.

57
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: Yeah so the real cars right now? Oh yeah, those SUVs.

58
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: We were driving those SUVs, no kidding. Yeah, so those

59
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: are police interceptors. So we did the track yesterday and

60
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: they put in two or three scenarios for us and

61
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: one of them was actually pursued a pursuit of an

62
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: armed robbery suspect. And you know, we had to do

63
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: the radio, we had to do the calls and all

64
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: this stuff is just to trade. You're chasing the I'm

65
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: chasing the suspect. Yeah, and it's fascinating because one thing, Wait,

66
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: there's some smoke now coming out of there. You go

67
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: truck trying to do it. Close up on the driver,

68
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: he's doing a bong. Oh there's smoking coming from the front.

69
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: I think he's smoking. Yeah, he's smoking. So he second

70
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: on the balloon and he's getting high. But you know

71
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: what they're doing now is that you know, they've got

72
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 1: time on their side. They don't have to take any

73
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: action if they don't do there's no eminute threat to

74
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: anybody else but himself. But these pursuits, believe it or not,

75
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: the policy is they have to drive the speed limit

76
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: for pursuit. The only threshold they have is about twenty

77
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: miles over the posted speed limit. That's a stage law.

78
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: I didn't know that, Yeah, because you see these guys

79
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: driving one hundred miles an hour, but the cops aren't

80
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: driving a hundred miles an hour. If you watch the

81
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 1: way they do it. It's all about rules of engagement,

82
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: and the deputies on the ground or the officers on

83
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: the ground, they coordinate with their supervisors or their watch commander. Oh,

84
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: that's interesting. The deputies are retreating. Well, he's talking to them.

85
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: He's sticking his head out the window and he was

86
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: saying something. Now, so you can see he's still talking

87
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: and engaging with the officers. Uh. Yeah, he's high. You

88
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: can tell by just you're doing smoking the balloons. He's

89
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: probably in a complete state. He's throwing something out the window.

90
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: Now what is that? Looks like an article of clothing

91
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: or something. Threw his ball out the window. But to

92
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: finish the thought there that the Yeah, so they have

93
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: very strict policies on how fast they can go, so

94
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: they have to hand it off I guess to the

95
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: next group of officers. Yeah in some cases, yeah, some

96
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: cases the last persistence or however, you know, depending on

97
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: where the it starts. But um, you know, when they're

98
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: chasing like that, they have to decide and work with

99
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: their watch commanders and dispatch and whether or not to

100
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: retreat from the chase, because disengaging is just as important

101
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: in a chase like this as engaging and not a

102
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,239
Speaker 1: freeway chase though where he's going one hundred and ten. Well,

103
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like they're hanging back and obeying a speed.

104
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: You'd be surprised on how it looks like they're going

105
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: super fast. But yesterday when I was going around that

106
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: track and it felt like I was going one hundred

107
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: miles an hour and I look down, I'm going fifty five.

108
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: It's really weird. Yeah, but you have this sense that

109
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: you're you're flying down this distrack, and so did you

110
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: catch your guy? It got so how do I put this?

111
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: I had an instructor on the right side, and anyone

112
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: that remembers driver's ad had a break. They had a

113
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: break over there on the on the passenger side, and

114
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: so I was getting it was getting so fast, and

115
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: I was getting so um focused on getting the bad

116
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: guy that I got too close, and I was, I mean,

117
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: I was about ready to do a pit maneuver on

118
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: the guy and run him off the road. The instructor

119
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: had to hit the break and go, Okay, you got him,

120
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: you got him, you got it. Slow down. It was intense.

121
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: I can understand why these some of these officers might

122
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: have the two were ready to jump out with Oh

123
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: heck yeah, I was. I had every weapon at my disposal.

124
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: I was ready to go full for us man and

125
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: it's no way. And then they actually put us through

126
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: scenarios where they were chasing us and how we were

127
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: gonna shake the person. Oh, it was fascinating with the

128
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: Elly County Sheriff's apartment, the training and so the feature

129
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: is going to come out next week. We have all

130
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: the video. We took video from inside the car, outside

131
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: the car, we got drone footage. Um, it's pretty cool.

132
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: We're putting we're putting it all together for next weeks. Right, well,

133
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: can you stayed out the second to talk about the

134
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: reason last night originally got into last night and this

135
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,679
Speaker 1: is the shooting of three LAPD officers and Lincoln Heights

136
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: suspects dead and Steve will tell you the story coming

137
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: up next. And we track of crazy guy and his

138
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: balloon and his bond and he's Poplar Street and North

139
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: Wilmington Avenue. You're listening to John and Ken on demand

140
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: from kf I AM sixty. Standoff continues in Compton and

141
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: Poplar and North Wilmington Avenue right near a fence and

142
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: a cement river. A guy is boxed in at the

143
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: end of a street and he's been sucking out of

144
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: a balloon. Looks blowing smoke from a bond. Maybe he's

145
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: that guy or a vape. I think he's vaping. Yeah,

146
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: maybe there's police with Oh now they're walking towards with

147
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: a shield. There's four of them behind his shield. Yeah,

148
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: what's that shield? Native? Oh, that's that's heavy. Oh they

00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: got gas, they got the cap sasan Oh, they're putting

150
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,840

00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: it in his in the flat bed. No, through the

152
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: back window, through the back window. Now he's getting fresh air. Oh,

153
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: it just rolls down the window. He sticking his head out.

154
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: So the back window was open. I guess must bend.

155
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: They were able to lob that thing in there. Yeah.

156
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: He's got a white pickup truck with what looks like

157
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: are those wooden stumps? Yeah, that's what I thought they were.

158
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: They looks like three stumps. Yeah, the three stumps, brown

159
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: circular future coffee tables, yeah right, or end tables, future

160
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: end tables. All right, So let's get to where you started.

161
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: Is no problem. Three LAPD officers shot in Lincoln Heights

162
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: suspect Dad. What happened, Yeah, yesterday afternoon. It looks like

163
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: an undercover unit with LAPD from the Hollenbeck Division was

164
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: actually surveilling this guy. And we're talking about Lincoln Heights

165
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: area of East LA and apparently some gunfire had been

166
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: heard in the neighborhood. It's not clear what prompted the

167
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: initial volley of gunfire, and it's not clear if this

168
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: guy was the one shooting or if he was shooting

169
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: at something or someone, but it did attract the attention

170
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: of their officers from Hollenbeck Division, and when they got

171
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: there this guy, they'd searched the area and then this

172
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: guy retreated into a shed and when he refused to

173
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: come out, they then called in a swat team or

174
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: excuse me, a canine unit. They called in canine units,

175
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: and the canine units came in and he still didn't

176
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: come out, so they lobbed in some gas. Well, typically

177
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: when someone lobs gas in like that, they usually surrender.

178
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: They usually come out. It disorients them, and in this case,

179
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: he opened the door and then opened fire, striking the

180
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: three officers. And we were told that officers returned fire

181
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: We're not sure if all three returned fire, how many

182
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: and then he closed the door. Then SWAT was called in,

183
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: SWAT contains the area closes in. Then they sent in

184
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: a robot. The robot goes in, it takes a look,

185
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: and then they find the body of this guy on

186
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: the floor of the shed. And then all these questions

187
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: start to swirl around, Well did he die of self

188
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: inflicted gunshot or was he shot by officers and then

189
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: returned fire. So that was sort of the big question.

190
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 1: How badly heard of the officers. They're actually doing really well,

191
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: And I just got a text a moment ago that

192
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: says two of them were going to be released in

193
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: the hour, within the hour. Their injuries were very they

194
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: were serious in nature, but they weren't life threatening and

195
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: they weren't critical. They were serious only because there are

196
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: multiple gunshots and one of the officers got hit like

197
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: four or five times, yea, four or five areas of injury.

198
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: Most of them were arms, ankles, legs. One guy got

199
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: hit in an abdomen area when in a torso area,

200
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: but it missed all vital areas. Incredibly lucky, yeah, very

201
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: much so. And I'm sure they were all wearing their vests,

202
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: so that probably helped immensely. The thing is now is

203
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: I was just told whom the name of this guy,

204
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: Jonathan mcgona, was on parole for robbery on parole. Yeah,

205
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: so he was a parole at large and that was

206
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why he was being watched. Had

207
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: he not complied with the parole rules, I guess not.

208
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: He didn't show up or do whatever it is he

209
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: had to do, But they classified him as a parole

210
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: at large, So he was already a bad dude by

211
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: the time he got him, right, so they weren't. They weren't.

212
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: Do we know what his uh crimes were? Robbery? I

213
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: mean just one robbery. It just says he one's on

214
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: parole for robbery, all right, So it had so if

215
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: he was on parole for robbery, it had to be

216
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,599
Speaker 1: armed robbery. I'm sure it had to be felony, A

217
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: felonious yea. So he wasn't involved in a crime they

218
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: think at that moment though, or well I'm getting conflicting information.

219
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: I have sources telling me that it was a narco

220
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: unit that was surveiling him, so it might have been

221
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: drug related. Hey, guys, the police officers getting closer to

222
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: this guy. John, you missed the belly. His shirt kind

223
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: of came up and his belly was hanging out the window.

224
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 1: Its belly was hanging out. Why would you notice that?

225
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: Because it was It was pretty prominent, Steve, it was

226
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: And I know that John. No, I'm not the John.

227
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: He's leaning out again. He's he's hoisted him himself up

228
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: out the side window. He's so high, right, and he's

229
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: waving his arms in the air. Look at him. He's

230
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: so Yeah, he's just out of it. Top half of

231
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: his body is sticking out the driver's side window. He's

232
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: leaning out. He's yelling at the cops, and the cops

233
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: have weapons are trained on him. What about eight Yeah, yeah,

234
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: there's there's eight guns and ride at his head and

235
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: torso there. Uh yeah, they're just gonna they're just gonna

236
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: talk with him and let him mumble himself out of

237
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: What does he think his leverage is right now? I

238
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: don't think he's thinking what was in that balloon. He's

239
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: probably wondering when the video game's gonna end. Yeah, looks

240
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: like he just blew his nose in his shirt. The

241
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: pepper sprays getting to him. Yeah. Yeah, so you know,

242
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: they're just trying to reason with him at this point.

243
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 1: But the way he was driving and the way he's

244
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: acting right now, he's obviously on some sort of substance. Yes,

245
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: it's pretty um because even I don't know this is Yeah,

246
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna sit there and talk to him forever. Yeah,

247
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: let's go out a while. Yeah. So going back, going

248
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: back to the guy he shot the three cops. He's dead. Yeah,

249
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: he's dead. No, So no loss there. Well, so the

250
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: question now is how did you know? How did he die?

251
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: And so I found out this morning from someone that

252
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: that had internal knowledge of this, that one of the

253
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: robots when they caught the image of the guy dead

254
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: on the floor, they also caught an image of a

255
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: gunshot wound to the temple. Right, So it's not all

256
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: at all points to it all points to probably him

257
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,599
Speaker 1: shooting himself. Yeah. I guess he didn't want to go

258
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 1: back to prison. Yeah, maybe he didn't have a good time.

259
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: So he was born in nineteen ninety, so that would

260
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: make him what thirty something, Yeah, yeah, thirty something, so

261
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: um yeah, Jonathan mcgonia is his name, and uh, well

262
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: real productive life. Yeah, it was. It was a mess

263
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: down there last night, for sure. So that's uh, that's

264
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: the latest. Two officers will be released within the hour,

265
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: I'm told, And then you've got a third officer still

266
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: at USC Medical Center, and but that their injuries are

267
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: not life turning. All right, good, very good, Steve, Thank

268
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: you very much. I'm gonna sit here and wats the

269
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: restle this with you? Oh? Yeah, this is good entertainment here.

270
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: Nobody's getting hurt. They're at Poplar Street North Willington Avenue

271
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: in Compton, and that those are Sheriff's deputies, right, that's

272
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: a LA count sheriff, right, And they cornered a white

273
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: pickup truck. A guy sitting in the front seat now

274
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: is leaning out the driver's window. He's at the end

275
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: of a block and he's just a few feet away

276
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: from a chain link fence that overlooks one of LA's

277
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: famous cement rivers. So he's got nowhere to go. He's

278
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: kind of at a dead end, and the cops are

279
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: surround behind him. There's at least eight cops with guns

280
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: pointed at him, and he's now yelling back at them

281
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: and they just keep pointing their weapons. Looks to be

282
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: in u well, look at look at that trail of

283
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: cop cars that they you and and it's about a

284
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: block from a middle school by the way, this location right,

285
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: so I'm sure the school is I mean, they're worried

286
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: probably about that as well. And look down below on

287
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: the other side of the river, they've got another half

288
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: a dozen cop cars in case, I don't know, he

289
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: would leap the fence and dive into the river. And

290
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: one thing for sure, he's never getting a way out

291
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: of this. Yes, he thinks he's got some charm left

292
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: in him because he's he's still still yapping at the cops.

293
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: So I will tell you that this kind of de

294
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: escalation training right now is what's very paramount with both

295
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: La County Sheriff and LAPD. They're working on new training

296
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: techniques for this for this scenario right here. The challenge

297
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: that deputies have in these cases is when someone's on

298
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: some sort of drugs or alcohol like this, they're not

299
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: reasonable and it's hard to talk with him. Now, look

300
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: at the postures. See they're they're bringing those those shields

301
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: back up, so they're they're sitting there. They're strategizing right

302
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: now whether to just go in and grab him the

303
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: cops are putting on gas masks. Uh no, they just

304
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: got that shield up there at which means he's going

305
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: to leave that that congol Eric thought he saw something.

306
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: So a couple of them are wearing gas masks. Steve.

307
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: When the frame was zoomed out a bit, you could

308
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: see I didn't see on the gas masks in hand. Um,

309
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: but they what will happen is they're they're posturing now

310
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: and you see them. Yeah, oh you must be watching.

311
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: Are you watching a different channel? You must be all

312
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: right there? So they're going hard with their shield. Yeah,

313
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: and then he noticed the yellow the yellow weapon on

314
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: the right bottom. Right there, there's a yellow weapon. Those

315
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: yellow weapons that's less lethal. So those are going to

316
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: be like the bean bags or uh yes, he right there,

317
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: that's I see that. Yeah, that's gonna be like a simming,

318
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: like a paintball gun kind of thing. Well you've got there.

319
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: They're holding the shield and there's about a half a

320
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: dozen cops and see like up the window, the window

321
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: he's not taking visitors. Well they're yeah, they're going to

322
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: go and extract him. And see that's a teaser. Right,

323
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: he's moving the car. He's trying to he's backing up. Yeah,

324
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: there there's a police car right behind him, and he's

325
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: trying to push that police car out of the way.

326
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: He's got his wheels, yeah, wheels are spinning, and smoke

327
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: is coming from the back tire now and he's sticking

328
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: his head out the window again and well, lots of

329
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: smoke coming from the two back tires. That's not good. No, um,

330
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: so's he's destroying those tires and he's got no am. Yeah.

331
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: This if he starts to do that again, it escalates

332
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: because what happens is that that truck becomes a weapon.

333
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: And that's one thing he doesn't realize. Well, all that heat,

334
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: smoke from the friction, could that could that ignite a fire?

335
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: Absolutely it did on that one, Remember that one big

336
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: chase that afternoon. We were all watching out there, and

337
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 1: that that's exactly what happened and ignited that rear Wheelwell, um,

338
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: and then he got bad. But this year, if he's

339
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: not careful and he tries to ram these officers or

340
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: these deputies he ran tries to ram them, they're they're

341
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: authorized to usually for a force. I was going to

342
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: ask you, at what point can what would he have

343
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: to do to earn some bullets. Well, if he uses

344
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: that truck as a weapon and intentionally tries to run

345
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: those deputies down, Yeah yeah, all right, Well let's uh,

346
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: let's have ever do the rest of the news in

347
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 1: the twenty first No one wants to hear the rest

348
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: of the news. They want to hear this. Yeah, well

349
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: we'll come back to that. If something happened, I'll break in.

350
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: Interrupt your will interrupt, break in your own self. That

351
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: might be interesting. You're listening to John and Ken on

352
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: demand from kf I Am sixty. We're enjoying a police

353
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: stand off or a suspect in Compton who took the

354
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: police on a chase. He's driving a white pickup truck

355
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: and in the flatbed he's got looks like about five

356
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: or six tree stumps. They look like tree stumps from here.

357
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: And he's in the cab of the truck, and he

358
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: was looked as if he was inhaling something out of

359
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: a balloon, and he also fired up something that he

360
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: was smoking, maybe a vape or a bong. And he's

361
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: at a dead end street and just a few feet

362
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: from a chain link fence that overlooks one of those

363
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: lovely cement rivers. He's boxed in by police cars and

364
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: garbage cans and parked cars at the end of the street,

365
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: and he's got nowhere to go, and he's been leaning

366
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: out his window a lot, his driver window. Oh. Now

367
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 1: he's trying to back his pick up into the police

368
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: car again. He actually is trying to. There's a whole

369
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: chain of police cars behind him. So he's so stupid.

370
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: It looks like he just took another hit of something. Yeah,

371
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: I mean, says. He keeps sticking his head out and

372
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: looking behind him. He can see there's a whole chain

373
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,719
Speaker 1: of police vehicles going up the block, so there's no

374
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: way he's going to back out and push those away.

375
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: And last time he tried, he had his wheels spinning

376
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: so hard there was huge clouds of smoke coming out

377
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: from under the car, which is only going to lead

378
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: to him blowing up his truck very soon. And he's

379
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: got at least a half a dozen officers with their

380
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: guns trained on him. Here comes another group of officers

381
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: from the passenger side. Now they're holding the security shield

382
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 1: and they're opening up the passenger door. And now they

383
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: just thrown something on the ground. Heat He just threw

384
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: something out the window. Looked like a gun or something

385
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: small and dark. Now what did they throw on the

386
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: ground there? I can't tell. Hopefully they're going to zoom in. Yeah,

387
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: they've been shooting like pepper balls at him and and

388
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 1: other non lethal weapons. Yeah, I'm surprised they don't have

389
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: a dog going there. But you know what I mean.

390
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: I guess in a way it's good because he's just

391
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: going to close his window and then the dog would

392
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: have to go shatter through the window and get hurt. Well,

393
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: now he's he's leaning out the window again, and he's

394
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: he's like a fat slob guy, and he's keeps putting

395
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: his dirty T shirt. He's wearing a gray T shirt

396
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: up to his nose. I guess like his eyes. Nose

397
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,239
Speaker 1: might be tearing from the pepper gash. Now you can

398
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: see the belly, you see, Yes, you can see the

399
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: belly hanging out. Yes, very lovely. I know that you

400
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: like that guy. That's a good luck. That's the sign

401
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: of a winner. You know he's going places. There you go,

402
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 1: there it is again. Yeah, he keeps flashing the belly

403
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: at people because he's got nothing else to wipe, wipe

404
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: his eyes from the pepper spray. So he's leaning out

405
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: out looking for oxygen. Cops still have their guns trained

406
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: on him from across the street, and uh if he would, uh, well,

407
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: he must be really high because if he should realize that,

408
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: it's besides, you know, he hasn't done anything that bad

409
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: yet in a gascon. To let him out in a

410
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 1: week or two, there's no reason to run up a

411
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: long string of felonies here is he's They fired tear

412
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: gas at him and pepper balls. Yes, yeah, so he's hurting,

413
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: but it's not stopping him. I mean, he's got to

414
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: give him credit. Man, he's not given up easily. I

415
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: like guys who have no hope at all. But they're

416
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: they're not going to surrender, and he's shouting at them

417
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 1: and he's driven. Yeah, he's is that the belly's still

418
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: hanging out there? Yeah, well, now it's back. He's back

419
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: to sitting inside with the full down. Maybe the cops

420
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,719
Speaker 1: yelled at it and now they're spraying. The cops are

421
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: going in their spraying. They just sprayed something in the

422
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: back of the truck. Can the gas until he passes out? Well,

423
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: I mean he does have the window open though, Yeah,

424
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what a useful life. Huh, how much

425
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 1: money are we spending on this? I was thinking that

426
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: just get out already. We're we're all working right now,

427
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: and I got to pay the taxes, so we got

428
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 1: to have you know, twenty cops the bell again. Yeah,

429
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: there's the belly. Yeah, that's a that's a that's a

430
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: full belly. There. He hasn't missed a meal in a while,

431
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 1: and he's smoking something. He's leaning out and smoking something

432
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: while he's trying to get air from the pepper spray.

433
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: Now now they're Channel seven is trying to enlarge whatever

434
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: the cops through on the passenger side of the car. Oh.

435
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: Channel seven is saying that it's a strike, it's a

436
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: spike strip. Oh, I see, So that if he does

437
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 1: somehow back out again, yeah, it's gonna pop those tires. Yeah,

438
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: So he has no options here. He's just look, he's

439
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: just hanging out smoking. Yeah, he's got all the time,

440
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: you know, in the world. He's gonna get hungry though,

441
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: unless he packed the lunch with him for this, he

442
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: might start eating a sandwich in between toads. I mean,

443
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: did he it was a reckless driving? You? Why and

444
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: why they think, yeah, I'd go with that. But is

445
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: he um? Is that his business truck there? It would

446
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: you would think, I don't know what? Is he a

447
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: landscape or I don't know he hals tree stumps around

448
00:24:51,720 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: for a living. Yeah, we don't have very much information. Well,

449
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: he's now ducked back inside. I see another puff of smoke.

450
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: There's really got the vape going, and he's constantly leaning out.

451
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: Seems like occasionally he's shouting at the cops, right, because

452
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 1: it's the cops causing you these problems, right, Yeah, he's, he's, he's, he's.

453
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 1: He's continuing to smoke or eat something. I don't know. Yeah,

454
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: all right, more coming up. We've got a lot of

455
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: head you're listening to John and Ken on demand from

456
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: kf I am sixty. Ken is away today and we've

457
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: been watching a standoff in Compton on West Poplar Street.

458
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: A guy in a white pickup truck with a collection

459
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: of steep tree stumps on his flatbed and he's been

460
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: inhaling something from a balloon and inhaling something I guess

461
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: from a vape pen or a bomb, and the police

462
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: have been fired all kinds of toxic gas at him.

463
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: Pepper balls and tear gas, and they threw spike strips

464
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: under his vehicle. He took him on a chase where

465
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: they executed the pit maneuver twice and spun them around

466
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 1: and booth times. He jumped over the median and kept

467
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: going in the other direction. And now he's got a

468
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: lot of police with the guns trained at him and

469
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: cop cars behind him, backed up down the block, and

470
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: he's at a dead end facing the chain length fence

471
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: overlooking the Cement River in Compton. So nothing's happening right now,

472
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: newsome as you may have heard. Yeah, he had run

473
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 1: off to let's say, what was the chain of events.

474
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: He had declared a state of emergency for the San

475
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: Bernardino Mountains among other places, for the big snowstorm, and

476
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: then he fled. He went to Cabo, and while he

477
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 1: was laying on the beach in Cabo, two things happened.

478
00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: He caught COVID and about a dozen people die in

479
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: the San Bernardino Mountains in the area from a crest

480
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: line up to Big Bear. Some of them may have died,

481
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 1: it's hard to tell because they couldn't get any assistance.

482
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: Roads weren't plowed for two weeks in a lot of neighborhoods,

483
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: and some of these people were very old and they

484
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 1: were sick. And I mean, I don't know what the

485
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: death rate is in that region, but twelve just seems

486
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: like a lot. News picked up COVID second time he's

487
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 1: had it, Isn't it ironic? Mister lockdown mister put thousands

488
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 1: of businesses out of business, Mister mask mister closed the schools.

489
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: He's on his second round of COVID, so he's working

490
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: remotely and he is self isolating for at least five days.

491
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: And although he was in a news conference today via

492
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: zoom um, he had just rescinded the state of emergency.

493
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: Mind you, he rescinds the state of emergency because the

494
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: COVID levels are so low here and he goes off

495
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 1: to Mexico and catches it. What if he goes to

496
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: the same place you go to down in Cabbo. I

497
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: wonder if it was the same resort. That was my

498
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: first thought. I almost texted it to the group chat.

499
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: You both may have caught the virus from the sure

500
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: yeah right, and then the symptoms came out in Cabo,

501
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: but you know, maybe not. Yeah, well he's here, who

502
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: knows how many people he spread it to uh San

503
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: Bernardino County death situation though there, I mean, there's a

504
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: couple of really awful stories here and um not like

505
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: the county is claiming that there's only one death that

506
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: they can connect directly to the storm, and that was

507
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: an accident, ethic accident, And their spokesperson says Mara Rodriguez says,

508
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: we can only confirm one the preliminary information and the

509
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: other deaths does not indicate they are weather related, but

510
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: those investigations are ongoing. But she wouldn't talk about the

511
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: details of the other deaths so outsiders could see whether

512
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: there's a connection or not. It just makes a proclamation

513
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: and she goes and hides. Mountain residents spoke to the

514
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: La Times and they said, well, we found our neighbors

515
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: and friends dead in their homes and because the roads

516
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: were blocked, they had no heat, no cell service, no food.

517
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: If it didn't outright cause the deaths, it's certainly contributed

518
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: to it. And there was one woman here who said

519
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: her name is Michelle Hake, and her sister has been

520
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: snowed in for days alone in Big Bear. And I

521
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: don't think people know how dire it is right now, said, Hey,

522
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: we're trying to find people like my sister, people in

523
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: their homes and their life is hanging in the balance.

524
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: Another woman, Laura Johnson, went to the Big Bear Lakes

525
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: City Council meeting and during the public comments, she said

526
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: a friend who lived in the area died during the

527
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: storms because their home could not be accessed by a

528
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: dialysis provider. They wouldn't allow the driver to come up

529
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: and pick up my friend who needed dialysis three days

530
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: out of the week, and then he passed passed away. Now,

531
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: if that's true, and this is the kind of thing

532
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: that ought to be investigated, because was it yesterday or

533
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: the day before? Blake trolley had two days ago Blake

534
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: Charlie had an interview with a woman who'd left her

535
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: husband behind. They were out of food. She went down

536
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: to the grocery store down the hill, was trying to

537
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: get back up and they wouldn't let her go. Now

538
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: the road had been cleared one lane. All she had

539
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: to do is be allowed to go home the way

540
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: she came, and they wouldn't let her. And she was

541
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: telling Blake that her husband's sitting at home sharing the

542
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: cat food with the cat and you try to get

543
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: an answer is like, well, if there's a path to

544
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: go down, why can't you let her go up? Especially

545
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: I think her husband's seventy four years old and trying

546
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: to fight the cat for the last for the last

547
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: morsel there and Hake Michelle Hay says, the level of

548
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: loss I cannot convey just how devastating it's been. Another

549
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: woman in Crestline, in the Skyland community. Her name's Raya

550
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: Francis Tetley has a neighbor who's ninety three, Dolly Avanati.

551
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: She was found dead Monday, and she her friend thinks

552
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: a week without power, stuck in her cold house alone

553
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: behind mounds of snow might be what killed her. They

554
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: had been delivering food and checking in on the woman,

555
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: but then she just didn't answer her door. She didn't

556
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: have heat. I think she froze to death in the house,

557
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: said Tetley. Soon after Avanadi's body was found, their street

558
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: was finally plowed because emergency officials needed to show up

559
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: to carry out the body, so they didn't. They didn't

560
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: plow the street until she died and they had to

561
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: carry her off. There's a lot of elderly people. There's

562
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: a community called Cedar Pines Park, And now the county

563
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: officials are saying, yes, we didn't respond. Well, here had

564
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: no idea it was going to be this bad. We

565
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: don't have the snow plows, we don't have the equipment,

566
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: we don't have the personnel. And how do you plan

567
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: for something that's never happened before in anybody's lifetime, Because

568
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: you know they're never going to spend the money on

569
00:32:54,200 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: this kind of equipment when it's a good possible you'll

570
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: never need it. It makes me wonder what they're gonna

571
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: do now because they may never need it again. So

572
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: a tough situation up there in San Bernardino Mountains. Mark
