Convenience Big Store: Modesto City councilman under fire for comments about resisting police

Modesto councilman's comments about police encounters stirs controversy – A Modesto City Councilman is facing criticism for some unsolicited advice he gave during an April 20 budget hearing concerning the police department. "I would like to talk to dads out there and moms that are listening,” said Zoslocki. "Train your kids. If you maybe want to save their life, something my dad taught me, it's an old school thing, when an officer approaches you, don't resist." The comments did not sit well with Darlene Ruiz, a mother whose son Trevor Seever was shot and killed by Modesto Police Officer Joseph Lamantia on Dec. 29 last year. "To make a comment that if you didn't resist, you could go home? That didn't happen," Ruiz said. "Trevor is buried in a cemetery and he did comply." (Kurt Rivera, Alanea Cremen, ABC10)

San Joaquin’s businesses stuck in red tier as some wonder if tiers actually matter anymore – San Joaquin County is stuck once again in the red tier of California’s reopening plan. However, the state's reopening is in sight, regardless of tier status. In early April, Gov. Newsom announced that the tier system could be going away altogether on June 15. That leaves many things up in the air for the Central Valley area when the county has, at best, a chance at four weeks in the orange tier and one week in the yellow before the tier system goes away.
