An appellate court last week ruled in favor of Tiffany Tabares, the mother of a 27-year-old who was shot and killed by a Huntington Beach Police Department officer outside of a local 7-Eleven in 2017.

Additionally, the judges ruled that a reasonable jury could conclude that Esparza should have suspected that Tabares had mental health issues, and that he unreasonably failed to follow police protocol on dealing with potentially mentally ill people before using force.

Black Mamba fans in Southern California and around the world are reflecting on Kobe Bryant’s life Jan. 26, the first anniversary of his death, along with the passing of his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others, in a Calabasas helicopter crash.
Bryant is survived by his wife, Vanessa, and daughters Natalia, 18; Bianka, 4; and Capri, 1.
One year later, tributes to the Los Angeles Lakers legend sprang up everywhere in the Southland, including murals on buildings and any other imaginable surfaces.
Because his loss hurt so much for Bryant fans, most of them talk first of that tragic day in recollection. Bryant and the others in the helicopter were going from Orange County to the former Lakers’ Mamba Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks for a youth basketball game, with Bryant scheduled to coach his daughter’s team.

Out of the sorrow of 2020, shared experiences through the virtual vortex of our home computers, phones and smart TVs managed to create organic and emotionally binding moments across the spectrum of U.S. society. At the core of many of these moments were people of Latin origins.
While fuller representation still lagged in the arts and entertainment industries considering that 61 million people in the United States claim some Hispanic or Latino heritage, or more likely a subcategory therein the year was marked with notable successes that foretell a hyper-interesting 2021 if we all fasten our seat belts properly.
