SUV stolen in Mira Mesa (northern burb of San Diego) by 4 women. That's not the unusual part... the cops stopped it with a spike strip after 40 minutes of chase... still not unheard of. The cops forgot to retrieve the strip, and 6 innocent vehicles were effed up. Stupid cops

The chase ended in on southbound Interstate 15 in the Deer Springs area after the California Highway Patrol deployed the spike strip to stop a stolen Toyota Highlander.

The pursuit began on northbound Interstate 15 at Carroll Canyon Road about 11:45 p.m. Sunday, from the Mira Mesa area to Rainbow, where the pursuit turned southbound on I-15, according to the California Highway Patrol, that’s when the CHP deployed the spike strip.

 After the SUV came to a stop, the four women inside refused orders to get out, so officers shot out the rear window with a bean-bag shotgun, the CHP said.

 Witnesses said that at least six cars suffered tire damage driving over the spike strip before officers removed it from the roadway.

How Mexico break a teachers strike... but don't feel bad for the teachers, it seems that they are the problem

The teachers have marched through the capital at least 15 times over the last two months, decrying President Enrique Pena Nieto's plan to break union control of education with a new system of standardised teacher testing that become law on Tuesday.

The teachers' demonstrations have slowed passage of Pena Nieto's education reform and the pace of his wider agenda of structural reforms, which seeks to reengineer some of Mexico's worst-run institutions, including the weak tax-collection system and underperforming state oil company.
The teachers are now trying to maintain pressure to protect their rights and privileges as the government puts the labor reforms into effect and reduce union control over teacher hiring and assignment. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/americas/2013/09/2013913221252883327.html

Just like the UAW in the USA, unions have outlived their purpose, and become as corrupt as the corporations and companies that used to abuse workers.

Follow up to the King City Ca police abuse story

The owner of local towing company Miller's Towing Brian Miller, his brother and acting King City police chief Bruce Miller, and Sgt. Bobby Carrillo had charges brought against them last month by city prosecutors.

The three of them were charged in connection to allegedly targeting low-income immigrants by confiscating and selling their vehicles. Prosecutors suspect that Carrillo would pull people over for minor or no offenses and have their vehicles towed to Miller's Towing.

The Monterey County district attorney also filed charges against the city's former longtime police chief, Nick Baldiviez, in connection to the corruption scandal along with allegedly also accepting improper gifts, possessing illegal weapons and imposing criminal threats, according to the Times.
