TMC: Thirty Miles of Corruption

It doesn’t get better than this in our town of Mayberry,  oh, Riverside.  It only took him three police officers, Assistant Chief of Police Chris Vicino, Sergeant Valmot Graham, three dispatched police cars [3133,3135,3143] and a helicopter.  Yes we did get all the sirens, colored lights, fast police cars and the bright helicopter searchlight. We all thought something quite serious occurred in River City on that street corner of 11^th and Main.

What happened earlier, was as the Occupy Riverside folks filled the Council Chambers expressing their outrage over Sundays assault, Riverside Chief of Police Sergio Diaz dressed in his Sunday best, walked out of Council Chambers with Asst. Chief Vicino, and proceeded down Main Street toward the Orange Street station.  There were two male black citizens at a Press Enterprise news paper receptacle. One homeless citizen, he later told me his name, Henry, was removing a paper from the receptacle because he knew there was no bottom to that particular receptacle.  He was taking the paper because he told me the second apprehended individual had said he was in the paper the day of the Occupy Riverside assault.  Sergio, saw what was happening and approached Henry and asked him if he had paid for the paper, he said no, he didn’t have the fifty cents.  This was when a call was made for police assistance, after an identifying badge was shown.  At the time we were at the Council Chamber, heard the sirens and helicopter roaring above with their searchlights.  There were two police officer at the council chamber who I saw received a call and quickly began to walk down Main Street.  I walked behind them, half way down and they stated “it was done.”  I continued to walk over noticed two black males apprehended on the curb, with the chief and assistant chief their with three officers.  I tried to get a closer picture, was told to move back that I was interfering with police business.  They later called the PE, who came by told of the incident, took the single paper of evidence, and evidently declined to press charges. Both suspects were released.  Taxpayers are asking how much did this show of force cost them for what came down to a catch and release event? Couldn’t the Chief just show a little compassion and give the homeless person the 0.50 cents and be done with it?
