Calif. officer pinned, injured during traffic stop CLEARLAKE (AP) — A Northern California police officer is recovering from serious injuries he suffered when a suspect pinned him against another vehicle following a traffic stop. Clearlake police Det. Sgt. Nick Bennett says the officer suffered several broken ribs, a head laceration and some spinal injuries in the incident on Sunday, but could be out of the hospital within the next day or two. The unidentified officer and his partner pulled a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe over around 4:30 a.m. Sunday for an alleged minor traffic violation. Bennett says the suspect, 53-year-old Daniel York, put the truck in reverse and pinned the officer against another truck. York was arrested a short time later. Bennett says York is a parolee and said he did not want to go back to jail. Cyclists will get 3-foot buffer under new law SACRAMENTO (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown has signed legislation requiring California drivers to stay at least three feet away when passing bicyclists. The proposal from Democratic Assemblyman Steven Bradford of Gardena is intended to better protect cyclists from aggressive drivers. It states that if drivers cannot leave three feet of space, they must slow down and pass only when it would not endanger the cyclist's safety. Bradford's bill was sponsored by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, an avid cyclist who was injured in 2010 after a taxi driver abruptly pulled in front of him. Brown announced signing AB1371 on Monday. He vetoed legislation last year that would have allowed drivers to cross a double-yellow line to make room for a cyclist. The law will go into effect on Sept. 16, 2014.

The winter shelter, which typically runs from November through April, is temporary, Dering said, adding that the need for a permanent shelter is great.

Central to the farm-to-fork Men's Transitional," it read. He said there's a great amount of support throughout the community for the homeless.

"But, you know, anytime there could be a disaster and we week's organization were a number of local chefs, including Patrick Mulvaney, who owns Mulvaney's Building & Loan in midtown Sacramento. In a phone interview, Mulvaney said that while chefs get to see approval from patrons as their restaurants incorporate local foods, farmers and ranchers don't get to see that feedback. He said the week's events will help them share that experience, as well as continue to boost relationships between local farmers and eating establishments. ''Our other focus should be on the things that we can do to get that food into bellies that it wouldn't all could be homeless, and you know who's going to be helping us survive? … the homeless." He admitted that tackling homeless issues can be an uphill battle. "But we're determined," he said. "Perseverance will do it. We just keep at it, it will happen.

''We live within walking distance of the one in West Sacramento,'' Crownshaw said. ''We didn't really have anything like it in Boston.'' Mentally ill inmates hit with pepper spray SACRAMENTO — A federal judge is expected to decide this week whether the public has a right to see videos showing prison guards tossing chemical grenades and pumping pepper spray into the cells of mentally ill inmates, some of them screaming and delirious. Gov. Jerry Brown's administration wants the videos, which were made by correctional officers, kept from public view. Administration attorneys argue they could provide a misleading view of events and violate the privacy of both inmates and guards. If they are shown at all, the administration wants U.S. District Court Judge Lawrence Karlton to view them in secret, in his own chambers. The videos are part of a long-running legal case that has required the state to significantly improve its treatment of mentally ill inmates, although attorneys representing prisoners say the system still leads to too many suicides and inadequate care. One shows a Corcoran State Prison inmate being sprayed repeatedly in his cell in a mental health crisis unit last year because he refused to take his psychiatric medication, according to court documents. He ''was not lucid or coherent enough'' to follow guards' orders that he allow himself to be handcuffed as he screamed in pain from the pepper spray, according to a sworn declaration filed with the court by Eldon Vail, an expert witness hired by the inmates' attorneys who was allowed to view the videos and related documentation. The guards then sprayed him again at close range. By the time guards finally entered the cell, it was so slick with pepper spray that they and the inmate wound up in a pile sliding across the floor, according to Vail, the former director of the Washington state prison system. ''This is what they do to real people with public money,'' said Michael Bien, the lead attorney representing inmates' welfare in. He wants the videos shown in open court. The evidentiary hearing scheduled to start Thursday challenges the prison system's discipline of mentally ill inmates and whether inmates on death row at San Quentin State Prison receive adequate mental health treatment. A separate federal court case against the state focuses on general medical treatment of inmates. The cases have led federal judges to find that overcrowding is the main source of inadequate care, forcing the state to greatly reduce its prison population. In the mental health case, the videos are described in court documents as showing guards repeatedly using pepper spray on inmates who suffer from asthma after prison supervisors overruled prohibitions against using chemicals in such cases. One of the asthmatic inmates walked with a cane; his offense was refusing to leave a holding cage. Another Corcoran inmate was sprayed five times in the space of a few minutes for refusing to leave his cell, leaving him ''completely delirious'' on the floor, according to Vail's declaration. The state's own expert witness, Steven Martin, a corrections consultant with 40 years' experience as a guard, prison administrator and court monitor, said in sworn testimony that guards use pepper spray far too often and much too heavily because they lack training and because prison policies encourage its use.
