Hopefully everyone in CA already knows this, but just in case someone doesn’t - there’s a special election happening right now. It’s REALLY important that you vote, and it’s REALLY important that you vote YES on Prop 50.

- Used a Black Hawk helicopter and sawed their way into apartment buildings

- Chased down residents of a shelter on their way to work
