But when I started asking questions about the June 26 training, suddenly trainer and trainee didn’t want to talk about it. Ms. Fleshman didn’t respond to my queries.

[In Oakland, apparently so. DA Pamela Price, a Soros-backed prosecutor, already faces a recall effort over her refusal to take crime seriously, let alone its victims. This kind of racist application of the law should disqualify her; if California had a state legislature that took its job seriously, they might already have tried exploring ways to remove Price. As it is, though, it’s just another reminder that elections have consequences, even local elections. I hope everyone enjoys the Twilight Zone reference in the headline. — Ed]
