  2. The Dream Is Always the Same The What The chronicle of a patrol boot growing into the role of a proper deputy, and the inevitable physical and mental degradation that is to follow one in such a taxing position over a long (or perhaps abrupt) period of servitude to the Los Santos County Sheriff's Department. This thread will document the day-to-day of Deputy Sheriff Dinarra Horowitz, insomniac and Richman-born Hebrew struggling to fill a pair of shoes which may prove to be a few sizes too big. The Who Dinarra Horowitz is an Israeli-American born from a family of immigrants. Her mother and father immigrated with her grandparents in the 20th century in order to find a better life in America. Her father is a lawyer, while her mother has forever been a stay-at-home who’s raised her children, Dinarra and her older brother Isaac. Having been raised in a family that has always been close to America’s legal system, both of the Horowitz children have a mentality leaning towards the concept of pro-justice, for that has been the environment they have been raised in. Kept away from the crime-ridden areas of South Central, being raised in Richman, the siblings and the family at large have never had very many negative interactions with Law Enforcement personnel, leading them to develop a confidence in the system that upholds the pillars of American society. With her older brother going off to an Ivy League in Newark, New Jersey, Dinarra was less interested in following in her father’s footsteps, but rather working in a more hands-on tenure as a member of Law Enforcement. Mortal Reminders & The Dream Plagued by a recurring dream, Horowitz finds herself frequently waking up in the middle of the night. This impacts her work environment and her home life, as much as she does her best to assure others that it does not. As the character develops, so to will light be shed on what keeps our boot up during absurd hours. To accompany, we will have her internalizations, reflections, and reminders of one's humanity (or lack there-of) as they come, alongside persons of interest. POIs will take place in the form of friends, mentors, or simply those who have left a strong impression on Dinarra as a character. Your closest friend and confidant. He was a Deputy, like you. You were just finishing the academy when IA chewed him up and spit him out. It broke your heart when he called you from Jail. ----- Your families know each other from the old country. Your mother was like a second mother to him. And his, to you. You're not sure what you'd do without him. ----- He's been with you through the whole journey. From the time you enlisted, until you finally graduated. You can think of nothing better than his praise. It means more to you than your own. ----- When you're down, he picks you back up. When you've got something on your mind, he listens. When you need advice, he's already been through most of your problems. You'd do anything for him. April 7th, 106 Cougar Ave And then you woke up. ----- You met your first patrol instructor while you were at Shay's. You get the impression they're tight knit. That's what they say about the gang unit, anyhow. You weren't sure what to make of him, at first. ----- You grabbed your shit and you hopped into his car. You met another Deputy in the parking lot, when you pulled in. Keith Macdonald was his name, you only exchanged a few words. Fifteen minutes later, you got a call that he was dead. ----- You didn't know the guy. It still upset you, though, he was still a badge. Calhoun was a little more upset with what happened. You were mid-way through orientation when you went down to the call. ----- You weren't sure what you should have expected when you got there. The man was shot dead in a crummy parking lot. No one was there to help him. One person was there to see it, and they wouldn't talk. ----- That's what made your blood run cold, that night. Not so much the thought of it being you - Well, maybe the thought of it being you. But the thought of nothing ever coming of it is a hell of a lot worse. ----- Calhoun doesn't strike you as a by-the-book kind of guy. You caught your first hook with him, though. He doesn't really know you; he probably doesn't care about you. But some part of you hopes he's proud, if only because you want to be like him. April 8th, Twin Towers Correctional Facility Like being pulled beneath the current. And then you woke up. ----- You met Castillo in TTCF. You were pulling a duty assignment, after transferring from elsewhere. You're not sure what he makes of you. Frankly, you're not sure what you make of him yet either. ----- He gave you a tip about going upstairs alone in the pod. It'll probably save your life. You passed that off to a fresh arrival. It'll probably save his life. ----- Castillo seems like a busy-body. He works as a detective outside, but he's also an investigator for the jail. You'd like to know more about him. Though you're remiss to ask, for being thumbed as just being an overeager boot. April 8th, Davis Wet inhalation. Like being pulled beneath the current. And then you woke up. ----- Tonight was your first evaluated patrol. You met your evaluator before you enlisted, though. He's another friend of Shay's. He's a little different from most people you've met, prior to the service. ----- You get the impression he's seen some shit. If only because of the way he carries himself. You're not sure what he makes of you, though. Would it matter to him if you wound up like Keith? ----- You wound up on a barricaded suspect. You felt pretty good helping set the perimeter. Though that was really all you got to do. You're glad for it, you're not sure you could hack it doing what the guys in SEB do. ----- After the debrief you wound up at the gas station in Davis. Two were dead when you arrived, one was bleeding. Your first triple homicide, on your second day. Lord, oh Lord, what a time to be alive. ----- You and an officer from the Police Department were treating the injured. He died in your arms. It was all you could do to keep it together. They told you it's not your fault; is it? ----- When you got back after, you were a little terse with your instructor. You didn't press him for answers though, erratic as you were. Your hands shook and your voice broke on the ride back. You were embarrassed to even look at him.
  3. You want to hear about my time with the LSSD from the beginning? The very beginning? If that's the case, let me get one thing straight. No one really knows what to expect when you hit the streets for the first time. Polished boots, duty belt on. Pin attached. Your hoop is your vessel for exploring the world, and all it's sights, smells, sounds. You'll learn that your enemy surrounds you. They're everywhere. Every street sits a fuckin' banger. Every corner a hooker, every alley a junkie. Filth drenches every surface, and it's a cop's job to pressure wash it off. You've got one objective, and one objective only. But when you're enemy surrounds you, you keep your motherfuckin' front towards the enemy. No one ever sees your back. You'll push it to the absolute limit to administer your justice on the criminals plaguing the county. Because you're a deputy. A Los Santo's County mother-fuckin' Sheriff's Deputy. It's what you've been trained to do, it's what you're expected to do, and it's what you fucking do. But what happens when you push it too far? Only one way to find out. -ARUIZ "Our ends know our beginnings, but the reverse isn't true." - Don Winslow

  5. NEWS • Crime Written by Yunisa DELGADO-FLORES • June 27th, 2022 — 8:29PM White supremacist gang leader killed by three in Twin Towers, reports say Daryl "Boyscout" Greene, a reported influential member in the Aryan Brotherhood, was murdered inside of his prison cell at Twin Towers Correctional Facility by three fellow gang members. Detectives cite "internal politics" for the reason. Daryl "Boyscout" Greene, mugshot circa 2007 — Courtesy of Los Santos Times On the 22nd of June, at approximately 8pm within the Twin Towers correctional facility, suspected gang leader Daryl “Boyscout” Greene was stabbed numerous times and killed using a make-shift prison shank, the Department of Medical Examiners and Coroners reported. A representative on behalf of the Twin Towers Correctional Facility wrote that, during the inmates’ yard time, three inmates entered and exited Greene’s cell on the 22nd. His body was later discovered around midnight the same day. In the report provided by the DMEC to the Los Santos Daily News, Daryl Greene was said to have suffered “repeated sharp-force and blunt-force injuries”, and that his death was determined to be a homicide. From the Coroner’s report, the Los Santos County Sheriff’s Department staff within TTCF attempted to aid Greene in their medical facility, however was unable to do so. Detectives from the Operation Safe Streets and Operation Safe Jails Bureaus were able to identify all three of the inmates that assisted in Greene’s murder, according to a written report. The report did not disclose the identities of the inmates. This is the most recent gang-land murder within the Twin Towers Correctional Facility after a series numerous more across different gangs. Over the past month, two Mexican Mafia leaders, Santos Ortega and Gilbert Montiel, were killed by gang members and affiliates of the Mexican Mafia or gangs allied with the Mexican Mafia in separate incidents. A former inmate of the Twin Towers Correctional Facility who was familiar with the gang culture within described it as “a big powder keg that’s constantly on the brink.” A sergeant in the Operation Safe Streets Bureau of the LSSD previously described the nature of prison gang politics to be “cut-throat “. The written report provided by the TTCF representative noted that the primary motive behind Greene’s murder is due to “internal politics” within Greene’s gang. In the written report provided by the TTCF representative, Greene was described as “a known Aryan Brotherhood figurehead who oversaw operations within Los Santos County.” A source within TTCF noted that Daryl Greene held a tremendous amount of influence within their cell block in their gang, once describing them as the “head-honcho.” Court records shown that Daryl Greene was sentenced to incarceration following numerous accounts of weapons and narcotics trafficking in 2007. He was charged for first-degree murder in 2017 but, following a trial that lasted until 2021, he was acquitted of all charges, the Los Santos Times reported. Daryl Greene, as reported by gangland news focused publications, was suspected to be a former member of the Nazi Low Riders white supremacist prison gang. However, after a conflict between the Aryan Brotherhood and the Nazi Low Riders, Greene was inducted into the Aryan Brotherhood. The Aryan Brotherhood is one of the most violent prison gangs on the west coast. A report published by the FBI, with the statistics publicised within the Southern Poverty Law Centre’s Intelligence Report in 2013, shown that despite only making up less than a tenth of one percent of the population (<0.01%) of the US prison system, Aryan Brotherhood members have been responsible for 18% of homicides. From a disclosed 1998 handbook from the U.S. Department of Justice detailing gang awareness for future law enforcement officers to reference in San Andreas, it listed the criminal activities that the Aryan Brotherhood gang deals with includes: contract murders; extortion; narcotics trafficking; commercial robberies (banks being a frequent target); and weapons and explosives trafficking. Greene was initially convicted for weapons and narcotics trafficking, and was charged for murder later in his sentence. He was later acquitted for his murder charge. The Aryan Brotherhood’s and other white supremacist gang’s reputation for violence extends far beyond the prison walls. A Colorado white supremacist gang named the 211 Crew was responsible for the death of Tom Clements, the head of Colorado’s prison system, by 211 Crew member Evan Spencer Ebel in 2013, the CBS News reported. In 2012, Daniel Evan Wacht, a man who described himself as a member of the Aryan Brotherhood, killed and decapitated Kurt Johnson in North Dakota to gain infamy for his group, reported the Jamestown Sun. Mark Pitcavage of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) wrote to the SPLC saying “there are a number of racist prison gangs that have just as many members if not more on the street as behind bars.” The Aryan Brotherhood is just one of a number of white supremacist gangs within Los Santos County, with others including: Public Enemy No. 1; Nazi Low Riders — the supposed previous gang of Greene; the Family Affiliated Irish Mafia, a growing offshoot from the Aryan Brotherhood; and many other smaller collections of skinheads and “peckerwoods”. Earlier this month, on June the 6th, the LSSD’s Operation Safe Streets Bureau conducted raids across Vespucci properties linked to white supremacist gangs. The raids led to 17 firearms and 1.3 kilograms of narcotics being seized, which later led to two arrests. In an interview with the Los Santos Tribune’s Phoebe Holter in 2021, Detective Moss of OSS noted how white supremacist skinhead and peckerwood gangs are harder to tackle. “They like to cause a ruckus and then go into hiding, but we're getting better at getting on their tail.”, Moss said.

  6. NEWS • Crime Written by Yunisa DELGADO-FLORES • May 24th, 2022 = 10:58PM Mexican Mafia Murders; Operation Maria sweep six soldiers in major arrests. Following Operation Maria, led by the Los Santos Sheriff's Department, a crushing blow was dealt to the Mexican Mafia prison gang. Six arrests were carried out in relation to this investigation over the course of May. Two leaders of the Mexican Mafia, Dominic "Devious" Ruelas (left) and George "Flippem" Palamino (right), indicted on charges of murder, racketeering and extortion. - Courtesy of the Los Santos Sheriff's Department A string of six arrests have been carried out over the month of May against the Los Santos County’s Mexican Mafia, a notorious prison gang that has influence across the entire western United States. The arrests include indictments of two leaders for the murder of a fellow gang member, and the arrests include four lower-level associates for the murder of a Law Enforcement Officer. These string of arrests follow a two-month long operation dubbed Operation Maria; an initiative undertaken by detectives and deputies working with Operation Safe Streets in the Los Santos Sheriff’s Department to cripple the Los Santos County’s chapter of the Mexican Mafia. The Mexican Mafia, also referred to as La eMe, is a large scale prison gang operating out of the Western United States. It has infiltrated many prison systems throughout the states of San Andreas, Arizona, Nevada and even federal penitentiary systems, according the office of the District Attorney of San Andreas, and has been in large-scale operation since the 70s. A sergeant who worked on Operation Maria’s task-force shared the gang’s hierarchical structure. “The Mexican Mafia's rather a council of leadership. You have multiple factions of it in different areas. These factions are known as mesas. … There are multiple made members, whom are either inside of our state prison systems or jail. “In our case, we have the Los Santos faction.” The operation started only two and a half months ago, according to the lead detective spearheading Maria’s task-force. “I hit the ground running, that's a good way of saying this. I had this case fall right into my lap, it was half luck, really.” The lead detective shared. “Amount of hours in overtime, surveillance, report writing, that was all done together…”, the lead detective shared. “Once it started going, it didn't really ever stop, you know? We'd built a web of E-S-Ws that [led to] our web of information snowball[ing].” The detectives of Operation Maria’s primary methods of investigation were through the use of ESW’s (Electronic Surveillance Warrants), which contains methods such as cell-phone tracing, wire-tapping, and recording and analyzing calls and texts through and from numbers of known affiliates. A sergeant who worked within Operation Maria added “This investigation and following indictment was a snowball of evidence and compilation. We took a faithful amount of time to build evidence and finally struck once we were ready. “[The lead detective], among our other investigators, worked tirelessly in order to achieve the indictment.” Operation Maria, a sergeant who works with the task force (left) and the lead detective behind the indictments (right). - Yunisa Delgado-Flores, May 22nd 2022 The lead detective shared one of the first steps leading up to the indictments, which kick started the investigation. “After liaising with Operation Safe Jails some, I'd gotten the phone of a high ranking member's - who we ended up charging later on, phone. Contraband cellphone.” The high ranking member in question is Dominic ‘Devious’ Ruelas, a longtime member of the Mexican Mafia and described “leader”, who is currently indicted alongside George “Flippem” Palomino, who also is a ‘leader’ according to the District Attorney’s office. They are both facing charges for first degree murder, racketeering and extortion. A press release was issued by the LS County District Attorney’s Office on May the 1st, where District Attorney Terenity Shwetz issued the following statement. The count of murder that Ruelas and Palomino was indicted for was for the death of Santos Ortega who, according to the lead detective of the Operation Maria taskforce, was “equal to to Palamino and Ruelas”, and a “long time member of The Mexican Mafia.” As of right now, neither the DA’s office nor law enforcement are at liberty to say the exact motives of the murder of Ortega. The arrests also include four of their “gunmen” – “gunmen” being the term used by Operation Maria’s lead detective to describe associates of the Mexican Mafia carrying out their orders on the streets. The gunmen were supposedly involved in the murder of a Los Santos police officer. “Through a placed wiretap on a vehicle, we were able to catch various Mexican Mafia associates committing the murder of a City Police Officer”, the detective spearheading Operation Maria shared. “The detective I'd had listening to that audio? Had the volume up too much, almost blew out his ear drums, they were shooting long arms” Long arms referencing large firearms, ranging from assault rifles to shot-guns. When questioned for a possible motive for the murder, the task-force was unable to give a comment due to the investigation being ongoing. However, the sergeant present stated that “We don't wanna question the policies or motives of the Officers present. We aren't sure of their policies. “Like I explained, we were aware that members of La eMe were violent. This just went to give us real, hardcore evidence of it.” The associated gunmen that have been arrested have not been identified to the Daily as of yet, nor the identity of the victim. Twin Towers Correctional Facility - Stephen Yun, Getty Images. April 15th 2021 “Most leaders are in solitary confinement, but they issue orders to members, who in turn issue orders to street gangs.”, the DA explained to the Daily in a written statement when asked how the gang holds presence on the streets of Los Santos. According from accounts both from law enforcement and the DA’s office, these two men and their gang have caused countless death to associates and subordinates of the Mexican Mafia and their rivals. Both the DA’s office and law enforcement personnel claim that the Mexican Mafia’s induction involves intimidation and murder, where an inmate who is groomed to join their ranks will have to commit and act of murder. The DA notes how freshly inducted inmates to the prison system will have to act in accordance to the Mexican Mafia’s rules. “If you do not play ball with the Mexican Mafia, they threaten to use their powerful influence on prison and jail yards to kill, and they do kill. To be made a member of the Mexican Mafia, you must murder.” The lead detective and a sergeant serving on behalf of Operation Maria notes how the recruitment process works for Mexican Mafia inductees. “A lot of these kids'll do something stupid and end up in our county jail system.”, the sergeant shared. “There, they'll be inducted by members of the Mexican Mafia into doing their bidding and extending their time in our county jail system. That's how a lot of people's lives get ruined. “They'll head into this because they're forced to and end up getting a life sentence.” The Los Santos Sheriff's Department at a scene. - Courtesy of Ashton Love of Paradise, October 15th 2021 “A key part of recruitment for the Mexican Mafia relies in training some of the younger Sureños that do serve time.”, the lead detective added. “They train 'em into cold, calculated, loyal killers.” The Sureños, translated to ‘Southerners’ from Spanish, are one of many gangs that work on behalf of the Mexican Mafia. From figures issued from the Los Santos Police Department in 2006, there were approximately 21,000 Sureño gang members in 400 different subsets across Los Santos County alone. There are many other gangs across Los Santos County that are subordinate to the Mexican Mafia. One of which is Mara Salvatrucha 13. David Skarbek, an associate professor of political science at Brown University who specializes in the research of criminal street gangs globally, wrote about how prison gangs govern in a 2011 journal titled Governance and Prison Gangs. In the journal, he referenced the Mexican Mafia’s operation extensively, as well as how gangs subservient to this gang marks themselves as affiliates through the number 13. The Mexican Mafia profiteers primarily off of extortion, both to gangs out in the streets as well as, according to the DA’s office, to legitimate businesses owned by law-abiding citizens of Los Santos county. “The Mexican Mafia extorts local businesses, other criminals, and generally collects most of their money from street gangs paying taxes. Local businesses are one target, and individuals adjacent to the gang life with large amounts of money are another.”, wrote the DA’s office. “They force gangs to pay them tax or face death.” Derek Skarbek detailed the tax process in more detail, saying how the Mexican Mafia has been known to use incarcerated members of local street gangs as hostages to coerce the gangs to pay taxes. “Incarcerated gang members become vulnerable hostages, and therefore can motivate Sureño gang members who might not anticipate future incarceration to pay taxes.” Skarberk wrote. “Phone calls to incarcerated Mexican Mafia associates that identify the entire gang—rather than particular gang members who have not paid taxes suggest that this plays an important role.“ The indictments against George “Flippem” Palomino and Dominic "Devious" Ruelas sees them both facing a total of 130 years in prison. The exact details as to how long their gunmen will be facing remains unknown, as the DA continues to construct a case against them. The lead detective noted the cut-throat nature of the syndicates politics, saying how “Instead of looking out for each other, these other guys were probably taking a look about how they could spin this for themselves, you know?” Because of this comment, as well as the nature of recruitment that this gang uses with how arrested gang members will often find themselves further entrenched in their service to a gang like the Mexican Mafia, the Daily questioned whether or not the members of the task force believe there will be an end to these types of gangs in our prisons. “Whilst what we did no doubt had an impact, the work doesn't stop here, and trust me- we know this.” The lead detective said in response. “We haven't stopped just 'cause we made a few high profile arrests, you know? Got our headlines. “All I can say is that we're committed to safer streets.” Comments are enabled: Username: Comment: Edited Friday at 08:39 AM by Los Santos Daily News
