| Well, not really...
Approximately 6 months ago, I stopped in my car at an intersection in Los Angeles. The car in front of me was stopped too far into the intersection and reversed into my car. I thought the car would pull over. However, the car sped off with me in pursuit. I thought the driver may not have realized she hit my car. I honked my horn several times. She drove faster. At the next light, I pulled up beside her and honked my horn. I yelled that she had hit my vehicle. She never took her eyes off the road.
She appeared to be a young, cute Korean girl with big ass sunglasses that made her look like a bee. I called the cops and but the operator advised me to stop following the car. Luckily, I had already taken a picture of the license plate.
Fast forward 6 months...
I went to the police station to look at a photo line-up. There were six pictures and I was to identify the driver. Before I went to the police station, I wasn't sure if I would be able to identify the driver. However, looking at the photo line-up (euphemistically referred to as a "six pack") there were 4 girls who were obviously Chinese, and only one girl that looked korean. The sixth girl looked like she could've been a dark skinned Korean but the line-up was obviously suggestive, at least to a korean. For a white woman, like the lady cop who put the line-up together, she probably thought that the line-up was good because she had 6 similar asian females all about the same age.
Cross-racial identification is not recognized by the general public. I get confused for my chinese, vietnamese, japanese co-workers all the time... even though we look nothing alike. I admit however, that I used to confuse Chris Rock and Chris Tucker.

| Working with other lawyers is different. Lawyers have a different mindset than the average folk. Recently, I was walking in front my place and there was a lady walking an unleashed white dog. The bitch was ugly...so was the dog. The dog took a dump right in front of my parking lot driveway. I called out to the lady, "Hey, your dog pooped. Clean it up."
She stood and looked at me for a moment. I repeated myself. Then she turned and crossed the street and went into her building. What the fuck?! I wanted to kick her saggy flat ass! I told the person I with that I wanted to put the dog shit on a stick and put it on her doorknob. My friend said that would be unadvisable.
The next day, I told my court partner about the issue and she said that I should've smeared that dog shit all over the bitch's car. Hehehe...
Maybe it's just karma. I have left my share of dog shit on the streets of America. I admit when I had a dog, I hated to pick up after it. I would pretend to pick it up when people were around but when they left, I ran like a jigga in the LA riots.

Chief reassigns 3 LAPD officers after drug charges are dismissed
The
men are being investigated because a surveillance videotape called into
question the veracity of officer reports and testimony.
By Jack Leonard and Joel Rubin
Los Angeles Times Staff Writers
July 2, 2008
Los Angeles Police Chief William J. Bratton said Tuesday he has placed
three officers on home assignment as the department moved swiftly to
investigate allegations that officers lied under oath during a recently
dismissed drug possession trial.
Bratton
said he ordered the reassignment after one of the officers notified a
Los Angeles Police Department watch commander that a judge had thrown
out the charges, ruling that a videotape of the arrest contradicted
testimony by two of the officers.
"We will not tolerate breaking the law to enforce the law," Bratton told police commissioners during their weekly meeting.
In
the meantime, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said he was disappointed by
the allegations but praised the department for taking them seriously.
"There
will always be some people who don't follow the norm, who engage in
activity that is either illegal or inappropriate," the mayor told
reporters during a visit to Roosevelt High School in Los Angeles. "And
in those cases, people will be made responsible for their actions."
Bratton
said his agency had also notified the Chino Police Department about the
allegations. Evan Samuel, a Chino officer who had worked for the LAPD,
was one of the men who testified last week in the cocaine possession
case against Guillermo Alarcon Jr.
A Chino police spokeswoman said the department had placed Samuel on paid leave, pending the outcome of an investigation.
Samuel
and LAPD Officer Richard Amio testified Friday that they were on patrol
in Los Angeles last year when they chased Alarcon, 29, into his
Hollywood apartment building. There, they told jurors, they saw him
throw away a black object. They testified that Samuel had picked up the
object and found about $260 worth of powder and crack cocaine inside.
But
footage from the grainy video, which Alarcon's attorney used to
confront the officers, shows that it took the two officers more than 20
minutes to find the drugs. They were aided in their search by other
officers.
After viewing the tape, Los Angeles County prosecutors
said they believed about 13 seconds of audio had been edited out.
Nevertheless, they asked Superior Court Judge Monica Bachner to dismiss
the charges. Bachner did so and took the unusual step of declaring
Alarcon factually innocent.
LAPD officials declined to identify the three officers placed on leave, citing state laws protecting officer privacy.
Along with Amio and Samuel, one other officer testified in the case.
During
a preliminary hearing in January, Officer Manuel Ortiz said he had
arrived at the apartment building after Alarcon was in custody and did
not help Amio and Samuel to search for drugs. He denied having found
the container that police identified as belonging to Alarcon.
The
video does not show who found the drugs, but at one point an officer
appears to say, "Manny found that." The officers appear to talk about
trying to open the object and later say it contains cocaine.
Tim Sands, president of Los Angeles Police Protective League, warned against a rush to judgment.
"Grainy
apartment building surveillance video, shot from a distance, from an
angle and in the dark -- and with sound gaps that have been edited out
does not tell the whole story," he said in a statement.
The officers could not be reached for comment.
Alarcon's
attorney, Deputy Public Defender Victor Acevedo, said the videotape
came from a surveillance camera mounted in the apartment building.
Alarcon's mother, he said, is the building manager and turned on the
camera soon after police detained her son.
Acevedo said he
provided LAPD internal affairs investigators with a copy Tuesday,
adding that his client would cooperate with the investigation.
The
defense attorney accused the officers of perjury and planting evidence
on his client. And he called on investigators to pay special attention
to one particular portion of the videotape, where an officer appears to
refer to the subsequent arrest report.
"Be creative in your writing," the officer appears to tell another after the discovery of drugs.
The
tapes contain more dialogue from the officers. But the quality of the
video and audio is poor and it is often difficult to clearly hear what
is being said.
A spokeswoman for the district attorney's
office said prosecutors would not comment on the contents of the video.
She said the office had begun reviewing the allegations for possible
criminal charges against the officers.

Can you believe this shit? A lot of people are charged with crimes in which its their word against the cops' words. There is no physical evidence. Of course, a cop would never lie right? The cops are protecting us from the baddies but who is watching over the cops? It's sad to know if this innocent guy's mother didn't have video WITH audio, he would have gone to prison after the cops lied on the stand.
Fuck cops.

| I've been promoted and will be moving up in my workplace. My office threw a little party for me on my last day before I left for my new position. A fellow female attorney, who also is a lot older than me, gave me a kiss on the cheek twice after giving me a hug. It was a little weird but not that big of a deal. White people are all into that... kissing their friend's girlfriends on the cheek and shit. Asians don't like to be touched unless it involves a happy ending or parents are inflicting corporal punishment on their children.
I've never had a workplace fling, although there has been some odd shit once in awhile. There was that one girl who kept saying she wanted to do it and kept making suggestive comments for a year before she quit. Then, there was that one supervisor who kept touching me in a weird creepy way when she spoke to me. For instance, we would be sitting at my desk going over some cases and then she would put her hand on my knee when she laughed. WTF? Can I cup a boobie when I laugh? Anyway, nothing happened except a period of awkward moments (at least for me) over the course of a few months.
Someone told once when he was working at a high-powered law firm that his boss asked him to help her move. He agreed but when he went to her house, he was the only one there. She proceeded to give him a bj after he helped her move. That shit is crazy. It's crazier than like corn in your poop shit. Apparently she is now a law professor at a top ten law school. I don't want to get into specifics any more than I already have... I might have already said too much.
Are secret workplace flings really common?

| I have a new prosecutor in my courtroom. She looks like a pig. I can't help it. I know that it's mean to think she's a pig but whenever I look at her, I start thinking of bacon. Her resemblance to a pig is starting to affect my work. I haven't had a problem like this since that one black female prosecutor who had a gnarly moustache. Whenever I spoke to the moustache lady, all I could do was stare at her upper lip.
The pig lady is a bitch. If she was cool, I would try to think of her in a good way. Like Santa Clause or Chris Farley. I kicked her ass in trial so maybe she'll be more agreeable to what I want to do in court.
One thing I notice is that although women complain about having greater difficulty than men in dressing for work, in actuality, women have it easier. Ok, so men wear suits and only rotate the shirt and tie scheme. So what? Women get away with just wearing colored t-shirts and pants. The pig lady once wore a short-sleeve turtle neck and slacks. What the fuck is that? Fuck that... and fuck the practice of wearing pants and a skirt at the same time. Whoever came up with that one?
