@debora_allen1 @garryslist @PirateWires I'll only add that if people want to check the daily arrest log themselves, they can sign up for the BART PD email at cloud.info.bart.gov/signup

🧵4/ The @garryslist article quotes a @PirateWires article as the source, which links a July 2023 KQED @danbrekke story as the source, which quotes ME as follows:
"Pointing to BART Police Department statistics that show as many as 80% of those arrested for crimes on the system have not paid a fare, she said, 'I can’t help but say we could help prevent some of the bad behavior in our system by getting tougher on fare evasion'.”
@SFBART and bay area media heard me repeat this for YEARS, from December 2021 forward.
They never once refuted it. Because everyone knew it was true.
English
“80% of those arrested for crimes on BART hadn’t even paid their fare.” @GarryTan quoted it in his recent #transitcrime piece in @garryslist.
But where did that number come from?
It came from ME — after years of fighting the @SFBART execs and board over an awful rider experience. 🧵1/

Greg Bovino: "An individual approached U.S. Border Patrol agents with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun. The agents attempted to disarm the individual, but he violently resisted. Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, a Border Patrol agent fired defensive shots…This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement."

@apolonia_milan @CHP_Newhall @CHPsouthern My source got turned around north in the southbound lanes, then crossed over into the northbound lanes. Exit to Templin Highway and Ridge Route closed. And yes, the logical detour to L.A. is 138 to Lancaster and Highway 14.

@danbrekke @CHP_Newhall @CHPsouthern My son just got off the 5 took 138 towards Lancaster to get to LA

@BradyTorgeson @CHP_Newhall @CHPsouthern My informant stuck in the back-up (my son) tells me the CHP just drove by saying all passenger vehicles in the southbound lanes need to turn around and head north.
English
@danbrekke @CHP_Newhall @CHPsouthern Going north on the shoulder seems futile. All those cars near me are at standstill

@BrodieBz Here's one final nugget: an S.F. Examiner columnist's appraisal of Hayward contractor Al Branden, who proposed the East Bay stadium ...
English
@BrodieBz The Hayward bid got plenty of ink in the local press, but reading between the lines it's not clear that the Giants ever took it seriously. It seems like this little chapter in their history might have made it into some book or other ...
English
Did the Giants almost once build a ballpark in... Hayward?
Doing some research for a future YouTube video, found these images which might have been part of options for the team when they considered a move out West to San Francisco? Possibly a backup to Candlestick Park plans?
I had never heard of this, nor can I find any documentation on it. Quite interesting.

@OaklandBallers @DrewMcGowan When is that new, higher fence -- part of the new agreement with the city -- going in?
English
If there is a car glass repair company that is willing to fix @DrewMcGowan’s window… the Ballers will thank you and the Town will undoubtedly show you love.
Drew McGowan@DrewMcGowan
Our car was parked on Campbell St. before the @OaklandBallers game Saturday and I guess a ball when through our window during batting practice. This stinks. Didn’t even get the ball.
