Lie and Deny: Secrecy and Suspicion Surround the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department

Updated Sitting in a car parked outside an Albertsons supermarket, Ronda Hampton was sobbing. “I can’t do this,” she cried, holding a bouquet of flowers, afternoon shoppers pushing past us, the Santa Monica Mountains aflame with sunlight in the distance. Chip Croft, a documentarian, made some feeble attempts to calm her down, but Hampton kept crying, so the three of us sat there awkwardly, two white men somberly watching a black woman wail over the death of another black woman. After a time, Hampton’s tears subsided, and we headed off into the hills of Malibu Creek State Park, around where the 24-year-old Mitrice Richardson disappeared on September 17, 2009, several hours after being released from police custody in the middle of the night. Croft, who did not know Richardson but recently made a documentary about her with Hampton, drove, at times pointing out where celebrities lived, as if we were on one of those Hollywood tours. Richardson had been arrested at a popular restaurant on the Pacific Coast Highway, just down the road... (Newsweek)

Critics' Choice Awards — “The Best Day of My Life”

Australia — they asked me if they could use my quote on the DVD box. I was ecstatic, until about 6 months later when I saw that movie in an Albertson’s grocery store and saw the movie for sale. There was a quote on the box from a huge publication like Time Magazine, who said the same thing I did. Can’t blame them for going with the same quote but from a bigger publication. And on the subject of bigger things, I joined the Broadcast Critics Association last year. That didn’t increase the amount of DVD screeners I got, but a few more gifts from the studios. The Star Wars folks sent us a T-shirt and stormtrooper mug for deciding to put their movie in our list of nominations. Sam Smith sent an autographed copy of his James Bond theme song. Being in the BCA means I get to vote on the movies in the Critics’ Choice Awards, as well as attend the awards ceremony. And I’m going to steal a line from Jacob Tremblay, who I voted for and who won, the best young actor award for Room: “This is the best day of my life.” It may not have been the best day of my life, but certainly one of the best parties I’ve ever attended. My girlfriend Tina and I drove up to L.A. on Sunday and hit the reception they had set up hours before the show. There weren’t many people when we walked in and I saw James Lipton (Inside the Actors Studio) sitting on a couch by himself. I immediately walked over to him. Not because I’m a huge fan. They had chocolate Rolo’s in a bowl on all the tables, and I wanted to grab a few. As we smiled at each other, I was tempted to yell, “A**hole!” And when he looked shocked at thinking I was calling him a bad name, I’d say, “That’s my favorite curse word.” (It’s a question he asks all his guests). I figured that might be confusing so instead I just made small talk. He asked if I was a critic and said, “I hope you voted for me.” That caught me off... (fox5sandiego.com)

Jack Brown of Stater Bros.: From box boy to grocery king

In his final year as CEO, he’s seen Fresh & Easy and Haggen supermarkets fail and two giants merge: Vons and Albertsons. Though fragmented, rivals have continued to flood the intensely competitive Southern California market, from big-box discounters like Target to ethnic markets such as Northgate. And extreme discounters are on the way, with Grocery Outlet and Aldi gearing up expansion this year. In an interview, Brown talked to the Register about his career and the changing grocery industry. Q. You started working at a young age. Why? A. My father died when I was 8. We had no support. I knew I had to help my mom. I watched her work six days a week from 8 to 6 selling dresses. If you were going to get married in the ’50s and ’60s, Mom was going to be the one who sold you the dress. She loved planning weddings for young girls. Mom helped them stretch their budget so they looked like Cinderella. My work ethic came from watching Mom. She was truly a role model for working women. Q. What did you learn from the first job as a box boy? A. One of the first things I was assigned to do was wash the sidewalk. You cleaned it off because your customers were coming. First impression. You got ready for the customers. And that’s something that stayed with me my entire life. When I get out of my car, I look around at my store for anything adrift. I want to know what our customers see as they come to our store. Q. You say stores should have vitality. What do you mean by that? A. A store to me is almost a living, breathing person. When you walk in a store, no matter what it is, a music store, a dress store, you feel if you want to be there or not. Same thing is true in Stater Bros. I want you to know all of our people are well groomed, clean-cut, they wear their uniforms, and they are there to serve you. Q. What is your philosophy on promotions? A. I want people to know there’s always a promotion down the road if they work very hard and take care of our customers. I call it “blue sky.” I want there to always be a blue sky. We get people hired as janitors (who) end up being truck drivers or in our distribution center. I always want people to have hope. Folks, in life, need food, shelter and love. But I think people need hope. You have to hope there’s something better coming, and that’s what my mother taught me, and that’s what I’ve tried to do for 65 years, since I bagged my first groceries. Q. What is your greatest accomplishments at Stater Bros.? A. We’ve never had a layoff in 36 years. Q. You say Fresh & Easy and Haggen never found their niche. What is the Stater Bros. niche? A. Our customers are hardworking. Patriotic and generous people. We generally collect more for charities per store than any other chain in California. (Roughly $15 million a year.) Q. How has Stater Bros. changed with the times? A. We’ve gone from 22,000-square-foot stores to 46,000 square feet. We have the largest produce department of any chain. We have more than 800 items in produce. Most chains have 450. We’ve added hot bakeries and hot deli. We change deli food twice a day, because what you want for lunch might not be what you have for dinner. We have a full-service butcher. We’ve added 1,000 organic items, compared to 100 over the last five years. Q. Is the key to success being a one-stop shop? Is that what people want? A. We think the idea is to build a store that...
