Notes from the Resistance
The documents also say that the Amazon Prime show “The Man in the High Castle” played a role… Documents from the investigation indicate that Kammerzell believed the symbol was just a part of a running joke, and he did apologize, but Ralph and others say he needs to go. [More]

As you’ll see, the most shocking revelation from the interview comes via CBS’s reporter, who relays Gomez’s claim that some unknown officer threatened her with charges of obstruction of justice if she continued speaking out about the cops’ passivity. That would mean jail time for her, as she’s currently on probation for a prior offense. [More]
