Yesterday was a very hectic day, and tomorrow promises to be similar.Later this afternoon, I plan to try to give myself a whore\u2019s bath in the sink.  I\u2019ll probably get a shower aide next week.  I have a grocery delivery today.  Tomorrow I will be gone almost all day to an appointment with my doctor way across town, so expect only a personal update, and that may be late.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Daily Kos<\/a>: <\/font>New video details a tragic incident in which Paradise, California, police officer Patrick Feaster shot and killed an unarmed DUI suspect after a chase and fatal car crash. The Chicago Tribune reports: <\/p>\n

Recordings show that police in Northern California initially dismissed a man’s claim he had been shot by an officer after a high-speed pursuit and rollover accident that killed another person.<\/p>\n

Paradise, Calif., police Officer Patrick Feaster didn’t tell his commanding officer for 11 minutes at the accident scene that he had fired his gun, according to recordings obtained by the Paradise Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trapped in the overturned vehicle, the man told officers twice that he had been shot, the newspaper reported Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The shooting, which was captured by a dashboard camera, had prompted protests in Paradise, 90 miles north of Sacramento. The officer has said he accidentally shot the driver, who was paralyzed by a wound to the neck. Prosecutors concluded that there was no basis for filing criminal charges against Feaster, who remains on paid administrative leave.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
