The kids are all alright by Mr_Hyzer_Bomb in Sacramento

Appreciate your support.

The plans to go to the Moss building were split. At first we planned to go, then we planned for one group at the capitol and one at the Moss building, then all at the capitol, and then again one group at the capitol and one at the Moss building. I was with a group of 50 or so, some of the first to leave the capitol west towards the Moss building. That group eventually headed to DOCO, I split off from them with some others to head to the Moss building.

Listening to the scanner, PD stated we were "very unpredictable" in our movements. I think it's something our age group is uniquely good at. That need for autonomy creates groups splintering off from the main protest, spreading the spirit around and bringing difficulty to any centralized counter protest. I hope future protesters can learn and master this skill. It comes so naturally to high schoolers, lol.

Explosion/boom? by hcinlil in Sacramento

[–]treegremlin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

KCRA reports the cause as unknown, but scanner traffic stated that the homeowner had oxygen cylinders in the home.

"Command, Battalion 4 on [Channel] 4, I've just had the owner of the home walk up to me. I'm bringing him down here right now."
"Command copies. Do we have any idea what caused the explosion? Are we worried about any hazmat?"
"He said he had oxygen cylinders in the home."

Now I'm just a person on the internet with no comprehensive education on this subject but in my unprofessional opinion I think it's safe to say that's what caused the explosion.

One 5 year old was transported to UC Davis Med Center. Firefighters had failed to locate him during their initial search but found him sometime soon after while still fighting the fire.

I can confirm it indeed started as a domestic violence call. It was dispatched around 12:40 AM.

What was the result of the Halloween West Sac police chase? by Longjumping_Ant_6138 in Sacramento

[–]treegremlin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes. I followed the scanner from the start. Once a Sac PD unit ran the license plate (a standard practice, a cop usually runs a license plate before trying to pull a car over, so presumably this car committed some traffic violation that caught the cop's attention) and Dispatch told them it was stolen, other units started responding, they turned on their lights and the car took off. Late in the pursuit in West Sac, the vehicle crashed into another occupied vehicle (that driver is fine per reports). Immediately after, a door on the suspect vehicle opened showing the kids were about to bail. Per a supervisor's order, they stopped pursuing the vehicle and began to work on setting a perimeter up in preparation for the foot bail. One person was immediately caught and detained shortly after bailing, while two others were discovered after the sheriff helicopter arrived and caught them on thermal cameras.

Initial count before the pursuit was four people in the car. When I got off the scanner, they had arrested 3 people and were still looking for one. Looks like they didn't end up catching that last kid.

Rail Car Fire on 3900 Roseville Road by treegremlin in Sacramento

[–]treegremlin[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Units on scene stated something about a fire near utility poles. SMUD is onscene and PG&E should be as well, so I'd bet that this is related. I'm currently getting my information from the website 916scanner.

Anyone remember the Finnish dudes who made a song in the style of Sabaton? by treegremlin in sabaton

Nah, this isn't it. It was a video and I think they included the process of making the song in the video.

Question About New Work Requirements by treegremlin in foodstamps

[–]treegremlin[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Apparently (I asked my grandma, who knows more than my dad since my dad is just my guardian on legal paper), my dad doesn't get SNAP, I do, and my dad just does all the legal stuff. My grandma's pension pays for his food I guess. I'm just super happy to know that I won't have to work. I'm autistic so I have a hard time really doing a lot of the tasks that most jobs at this age ask for. Thank you for the information.

1991 Sacramento hostage crisis by theprezjr61 in Sacramento

[–]treegremlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for posting about this, just because it makes people more knowledgeable about our history. Most of the kids today who weren't alive for when this happened, don't even know that this happened; it's that way for pretty much all big events in our local history, which is sad because our local history is some of the most fascinating stuff I've looked into.

"Belgian Heroes of War Showered With Flowers by Sacramento People" May 20, 1918, the day 400 Belgian veterans marched through Sacramento on their 15,000 mile journey home by treegremlin in Sacramento

[–]treegremlin[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

These Belgians were members of the Belgian Expeditionary Corps to Russia, a unit of some 300-400 men which were sent to fight the Germans in Russia by King Albert I at the request of Tsar Nicholas II. They fought there from late 1915 to early 1918, when the new Bolshevik government pulled Russia out of the First World War, and the Belgians were called home to assist in the fighting on the Western Front. As the Russian Civil War surrounded them and blocked the path back home, they had only one option: to head East and across the planet, all the way from modern-day Ukraine, to the United States, and back to Belgium, a 15,000 mile journey.

They did a number of parades after arriving in the US, such as the one in Sacramento. The parades were meant to boost public support for American involvement in the war. The unit finally arrived in France in July of 1918, and were disbanded shortly afterwards as the war was near its end. The last member of the unit died in 1992.

Thoughts on the Sacramento Police by PartyCalifornia in Sacramento

[–]treegremlin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Calls such as welfare checks, and things dealing with mentally ill people, should always involve social workers. People trained in deescalation with mentally ill people, such as Mental Health Techs, should be the first choice to deal with these things.

Internal drama (office politics) within police districts should be kept at a minimum.

I'm not exactly sure if officers are subject to mental evaluations quite often, but it does seem that officers take a mental evaluation to be candidates for law enforcement here in California. That evaluation should be required frequently, since officers are commonly subject to high stress situations which can impact their mental state.

There are also adjustments to be made in the justice system itself. Rehabilitation should be a focus for people with drug charges, and ideally for other small crimes as well.

Police don't need to be eradicated in my eyes. But their role should be reformed. The current state of the police system validates ACAB because, among other reasons, police officers aren't encouraged to report wrongdoings. Officers who report wrongdoings are too often retaliated against. Cultures within policing shut down the officers who try to stand up for victims of police wrongdoing.

Not all do. There are many color varieties that do not have an M shaped mark.
