Typicial, and a reason why the City should not rent to these types of money seeking carpet baggers, trying to rip off the City at the locals exxpense. By the way I would hardly call the rubbish a play. Surely, having viewed the video footage a ticket should retrospectively be issued for running the stop sign. Is lying no longer an offense?????
Easy Reader journalism is no longer existent. It’s biased, quick to post but not investigate. The Easy Reader owes a huge apology to both Hermosa Beach Police Dept & the residents of the City of Hermosa Beach for their quick to post story about this theatre director calling out HBPD & w/out investigating all sides of this story. It might be time to call it quits, Easy Reader….you jumped the shark a long time ago.
“After reviewing the video with Captain Cahalan, I realize that the way I experienced the incident was not the same as through the lens of the video”
Lmao
“I knew that if anything happened, it was going to be our word against theirs,” Collins told Easy Reader.”
Double lmao. Hopefully this guy gets the psychological help that he desperately needs.
“Collins produces for BLACMail Productions”
Lmfao. I’m dying at how ridiculous this story is.
Just a lying pile of garbage. You do not have PTSD, you just do not take responsibility for your life you want to be a victim!!!
Why is the Police Chief not issuing retrospective tickets to this liar for running a stop sign & lying to the Police & public. Are these no longer crimes in Hermosa Beach under this Police Chief?
