Twenty-to-thirty brief news items by Lurene Helzer, summer of 2001, for San Francisco-based Bay City News during the night shift reporting fires, alleged domestic violence incidents, fatal motorcycle crashes, stabbings, alleged murders, unidentified dead bodies found at shore, pipe bombs, vehicle collisions with utility poles; transportation interruptions; shootings; drag races; power outages; hit-and-run accidents, fierce dog attacks, robberies, and a variety of assaults.
I do not include them in this library except with this reference, but I keep them on hand with my collection. A grievously high percentage of the murder victims in San Francisco or Oakland are defined by police as unidentified black males with these first reports. The idea that black men are overwhelmingly defeated by racism is not even close to the real story because you’re not considering the nightly, relentless murders of black, American teens by American black, American teens.
Media laws limit or prohibit giving or publishing the names of juvenile suspects.
The other things you report over and over in the graveyard shift are fire calls. Nearly all late-night fires in San Francisco are put out quickly by its fire department because they must be; the houses stand just inches apart.
