“So you’re out of prison and you’re comfortably shopping in Cub Foods as if you didn’t do anything?” the woman who recorded the video asks Kueng.
The former police officer, who is holding a pack of Oreos, tells the woman he is shopping for “necessities.”

“I don’t think you should have that right,” the woman replies. “I don’t think you should be out on bail.”

“I’m sorry you feel that way,” Kueng says after saying he can understand why the woman said that.

“No you’re not sorry!” the woman says. “You’re literally out here, comfortably as if you didn’t kill that man? Did you think people weren’t going to recognize you?”

“You don’t have the right to be here. You killed somebody in cold blood. You do not have the right to be here.”

When Kueng says he will leave the store, the woman replies “No, we don’t want you to get your stuff. We want you to be locked up!”

“You’re not going to be able to comfortably go around Minnesota like this,” the woman tells Kueng.

As Kueng waited in line to check out, the woman asks how he afforded his $750,000, but he does not respond.

California Sheriff and District Atty employees arrested over vandalizing of BLM sign

https://ktla.com/news/local-news/black-lives-matter-sign-in-thousand-oaks-vandalised-by-sheriffs-and-das-employees/

A Black Lives Matter sign in Thousand Oaks was vandalized on at least three separate occasions, including by a sheriff’s office employee and a district attorney’s office employee, officials said Saturday.

The sign, which consists of a tarp with the letters “BLM” painted on it, has been displayed along a fence on Westlake Boulevard for the last three weeks. It has been damaged and removed several times, according to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, prompting the owner of the sign to place a surveillance camera nearby.

Detectives recognized 60-year-old Darrin Stone — an employee of the Sheriff’s Office since 2005 — in images the owner posted of the vandalism online. Stone was captured on camera slashing the sign with a knife on June 13, and he is also accused of slashing the sign a second time on June 19, officials said.

Detectives conducted an investigation and issued Stone a misdemeanor citation for vandalism. He was also placed on paid administrative leave, pending both a criminal and administrative investigation, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Stone is a service technician at the Pre-Trial Detention Facility in Ventura, official said. He was off-duty at the time of both incidents.
