Santa Monica police investigating Black exec’s detention that was based on race

Santa Monica’s police chief Wednesday defended her officers and a 911 caller after a black executive claimed that, because of her race, she was detained as a burglary suspect at her own home.

Fay Wells wrote in a piece published by the Washington Post that she locked herself out of her apartment late one night in September and called a locksmith to get back inside. A  neighbor — whom Wells described as white — called 911, reporting a burglary in progress. That triggered a response by at least 16 officers who detained Wells at gunpoint, according to her article.

Wells identified herself in the Post as a vice president of strategy for an unnamed California company.

An Aryan Brotherhood Kingpin from Texas Is Getting Life in Solitary Confinement

In the five months Byrd spent free in northern Texas between federal sentences, from late 2013 to early 2014, he held the Brotherhood’s highest rank for members outside prison—Major. In that time, Bangs said, he worked with success to dominate the North Texas meth trade, became “very influential” in the gang, and amassed a loyal following.
He also committed brutal crimes: He stabbed a man 37 times in the face, and another time he stabbed a man, soaked a piece of bread in his blood, then ate half and shoved the rest in his victim’s mouth.
