By Michael G. Stogner

Chinedu Valentine Okobi SMC’s George Floyd

A federal judge on Thursday July 7, 2022 sentenced Derek Chauvin to 21 years in prison for violating George Floyd’s civil rights.

Violating Civil Rights sounds so much nicer then Murder doesn’t it?

San Mateo County Residents, do any of you think Chinedu Valentine Okobi’s Civil Rights were not violated on October 3, 2018 in Millbrae at 1:00 PM in the middle of the afternoon by SIX San Mateo County Sheriff Employees? I do.

CPRA Request Ignored by SFPD, Why?

By Michael G. Stogner

Chinedu V. Okobi was killed in Millbrae, in the middle of the afternoon on October 3, 2018 by SIX San Mateo County Sheriff Employees. After he had stopped breathing not one of the Six San Mateo County Sheriff Employees provided ANY life saving measures for the next NINE MINUTES.

I have always wondered about San Mateo County Sheriff Deputy Joshua Wang who first saw Chinedu walking south on the west side sidewalk. Deputy Wang was traveling Northbound on El Camino Real when he activated his overhead lights which also activated his dash Cam-Video as he waited to make a U-Turn to go back to Chinedu who was still on the sidewalk.

Last month on May 10, 2022 I sent San Francisco Police Chief William Scott a California Public Records Request CPRA regarding information for former San Francisco Police Officer Joshua Wang.

SFPD received my letter on May 11, 2022

I should have received a response by May 26, 2022. 10 Business Days

Today is June 7, 2022, There has been ZERO response.

Makes you wonder WHY no response doesn’t it?

I’ll keep you informed.

Sheriff Activities League Director Steven Booker arrested by Belmont Police for DUI.

By Michael G. Stogner

Steven Booker photo from SAL Board of Directors

Steven Booker is also a Candidate for Supervisor of District Three

On May 28, 2022 at 2:00 AM the Belmont Police Department responded to a 911 call and ended up arresting Steven Booker, There was no mention of Mr. Booker refusing to take a breath test or blood test like SMC Sheriff Sergeant Lou Aquino did when he was arrested by RWCPD in 2019. Or Aldon Smith refusing both test when he was arrested (5th time) December 6, 2020 in Redwood City by the CHP. It looks like Steven Booker cooperated with the Police just like San Mateo County Superior Court Hon. Judge Joseph Scott did with the CHP when they arrested him for a DUI.

At this moment in time there are NO CHARGES filed by the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office. Steven Booker didn’t injure anybody.

San Mateo County Sheriff’s Activities League Board of Directors

As you might have noticed today is June 6, 2022 one day before the Election in San Mateo County. This is the only article San Mateo County News.com has published on this topic. The Palo Alto Daily Post has published two Front Page articles about this IMPORTANT subject with photos of Mr. Booker a good sized Black Man with the title ARRESTED & DUI. I couldn’t help but notice how many of the San Mateo County Newspapers did the same.

I believe in a Level Playing Field, I personally know many people who have been arrested and even pled guilty to a DUI and have gone right back to work. Look no further than Judge Joseph Scott as a local example.

Lets compare an alleged DUI case with Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos being Caught and Detained by the FBI Inside a small house where he was either there to have sex with one or more of the Sex Slaves including a Minor or there to sell 3,500 Ecstasy Tablets for $25,000. Or Lets see how important the San Mateo County Sheriff Activities League which for some reason is a 501 C Embezzlement and Money Laundering Investigation was to the Voters of San Mateo County. They couldn’t care less.

I can’t imagine why a DUI would make one bit of difference to a San Mateo County Voter.

A photo of a Good Sized Blackman with Dreadlocks now that might make a difference.

City Council of Half Moon Bay, voted to Mandate Vaccines, for any City Employee or Contractor.

By Michael G. Stogner

Tonight the City Council voted 4-1 in favor of a Mandate to have all City Employees or Contractors to be Vaccinated. This of course includes the San Mateo County Sheriff Deputies patrolling the City of Half Moon Bay and the Coast-side.

San Mateo County News.com has asked San Mateo County Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos several times what his COVID-19 Vaccination Policy is and how many of his 800 Sheriff Employees are Vaccinated. He has refused to answer those simple questions. Looks like the 4 council members have solved that for the residents of HMB.

Every City that contracts their Law Enforcement from the Sheriff’s Office should know that the Deputies providing services in their community are Vaccinated.

Congratulations to Half Moon Bay.

SFPD Sergeant Davin Lyle Cole in Court Today. To listen call 503-300-6847 code 438807 Time 9 AM, 21SF012848A

By Michael G. Stogner

SFPD Sergeant Davin Cole on Administrative Leave

Update: The Judge asked Davin Lyle Cole’s Attorney, “Why is your client NOT HERE.” His attorney represented to the court that he is in Rehab and the somebody at Rehab said it would be a bad idea for him leave and show up at a San Mateo County Superior Court today. So Judge said OK and allowed him to appear on ZOOM.

Next Court date is February 7, 2022 @ 2:00 PM

Lets see how this case goes, Robbery, with a Gun, Resisting Arrest.

Here is a really good PR piece on his arrest, “Everybody is Shocked” “It was a Secret,” “Nobody Knew,” and he is now in Rehab.

The title is the give away: SFPD sergeant arrested for robbing Rite Aid in treatment for prescription pill addiction.

ABC Story on Arrest

Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos

I was not able to find the Booking Photo from San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office, under the Leadership of Carlos G. Bolanos, that is another Red Flag, that this is a “Those Who Matter” case.

Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos, Please release the Booking Photo of SFPD Sergeant Davin Cole, and can you tell the public why you didn’t in the first place?

I checked the SMCSO Press Releases for SFPD Sergeant Davin Cole Arrest and found Nothing, Zero, Zip,

Here is what I did find for November 5, 2021

A fair and level playing field would make all Booking Photos available to the Public, The Five Supervisors of San Mateo County Support Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos’ method of picking and choosing which Booking Photo and Arrest to make Public. That is a very Bad Idea.

This looks a little more serious then the Media has reported.

How many Criminal Cases has he testified in the last 11 years and How people are in Prison because of his testimony?

He was on the Gang Task Force.

Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos is a candidate for Re-Election on June 7, 2022 just 7 months away. There are two other candidates expected on the ballot by March 2022.

San Mateo County News.com is asking Candidate for Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos, Why did his Press/News Release issued to the Public just hours after the Homicide of Chinedu V. Okobi, NOT MENTION or IDENTIFY, San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office personnel CSO Joseph Gonzales?

CSO Joseph Gonzales was Involved in the take down, his person and uniform had blood on it, In the Government’s Video which was finally released 5 months after the Homicide he is clearly seen involved and spraying O.C. spray.

Sheriff Bolanos you or your Public Information Officer PIO can answer in the comments on this article.

Every Elected and appointed Official in San Mateo County should have asked this simple question 3 years ago. They didn’t, Why?

Chinedu V. Okobi was in the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office 6 Employees’ Custody when he died. He was NEVER in their care.

Not one of the Six Employees provided any life support efforts for more than 9 minutes after he died.

San Mateo County Government Attorneys do the exact same disgusting thing.

By Michael G. Stogner

Just ask the Families of Errol Chang R.I.P., Yanira Seranno Garcia R.I.P., Chinedu V. Okobi R.I.P. San Mateo County’s George Floyd, and Sarah Gatliff the daughter of Sandra Lee Harmon R.I.P. Roger Allen R.I.P. All Homicides by SMC Law Enforcement.

Los Angeles County wants a judge to force Kobe Bryant’s widow to undergo a psychiatric evaluation to prove she suffered emotional distress from leaked photos of the helicopter crash that killed her husband, daughter and seven others.

Who supports this disgusting behavior, all FIVE San Mateo County Supervisors, and almost every other elected official in the County.

Why would San Mateo County Residents need a Citizens Oversight Committee? That is what the Supervisors are paid to do, SUPERVISE.

Question for President of SMC Supervisors David Canepa.

By Michael G. Stogner

What exactly do you think your job is as President of San Mateo County Board of Supervisors? Daly City and South San Francisco Voters, Is this behavior what You Voted for?

Here is his response to Fixin’ San Mateo County, which was started by Nancy Goodban with its goal of getting a Civilian Oversight Committee of the Sheriff’s Office on the 2024 Ballot. She and her team would not need to do this effort if the Board of Supervisors had just THREE Good Humans on it.

This is from an article written by Nick Mazzoni Daily Journal correspondent

David Canepa, president of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, suggests the board’s working relationship with the Sheriff’s Office doesn’t find the need to establish a civilian oversight board. 
“[In] my five years on the Board of Supervisors, I have found the sheriff and all of the countywide elected officials in the county to be accountable to the public and the board. If we have questions, they answer them. If we have concerns, they address them,” said Canepa. Does anybody have a clue what that means? I don’t.

It’s that last to statements that bring me back to my question, which is What exactly do you think your job is as President of San Mateo County Board of Supervisors?

David Canepa, Did you ever have a question of Carlos G. Bolanos like, What caused you to go INSIDE the single family residence located at 3474 Eldon Street, Las Vegas at 9:30 PM on April 21, 2007 in the first place?

Where you there to have sex with a Human Trafficked Sex Slave, that didn’t speak English?

Where you there to have sex with the Human Trafficked Sex Slave Minor that didn’t speak English?

What did Sheriff Greg Munks mean when he said neither of you Intended to Pay for Sex?

Was Jeffrey C Kearnan and Tom Gallagher with you, either in the Limo at the residence mentioned above?

Were they standing outside the property while you and Munks were inside and if so what was there assignment?

Did you and Sheriff Greg Munks bring 3,500 Ecstasy tablets to this house in exchange for the $25,000 that was found inside?

David Canepa, did you have any questions or concerns when Munks and Bolanos got rid of the Sheriff Sex Crimes Unit a few months later?

David Canepa, did you have any questions or concerns when the Brave and Proud Female Sheriff Deputy reported the Pornography and Violent Rape Video being share with 45 male Sheriff Employees on San Mateo County Computers in 2009 just 2 years after both were caught and detained INSIDE 3474 Eldon Street.

David Canepa, did you have any questions or concerns that some of those Pornography photos were of Children?

Pornography and Violent Rape Video shared with 45 male Sheriff Employees

David Canepa, did you have any questions or concerns, When Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos lied about the Homicides by his employees of Sandra Lee Harmon and Chinedu V. Okobi?

One last thing, David Canepa I did not see you at the October 3, 2021 Chinedu V. Okobi Rememberance event at 400 County Center. You must have had more Important things to do.

Supervisor David Canepa voted No, Why?

By Michael G. Stogner

Yesterday morning I sent an e-mail to San Mateo County President of the Board of Supervisors David Canepa asking him if he would confirm that he was one of the three NO Votes. I didn’t want to produce this article without conformation that it was true. He has not responded to my information request but the video I have linked below confirms it. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s Board of Directors meeting on July 21, 2021 Voted 19 Yes to 3 No for overwhelming approval. It’s always the Vote that counts.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 21, 2021 CONTACT: Kristine Roselius, Air District, 415.519.5419

Beth Willon, Communications Director for Supervisor Cindy Chavez, 408.660.5174

Air District strengthens refinery rule to reduce particulate emissions from fluidized catalytic cracking units

Reducing emissions from FCCUs is a critical step to control health-threatening air pollution

SAN FRANCISCO – The Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s Board of Directors today adopted amendments to Regulation 6, Rule 5: Particulate Emissions from Refinery Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Units to further reduce particulate matter emissions from petroleum refineries. The rule is now the most health-protective and stringent regulation of its kind in the country.

The Air District adopted Rule 65 in 2015 to minimize particulate matter emissions from Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Units, or FCCUs, which are the largest single source of particulate matter emissions at refineries and some of the largest individual sources of particulate matter in the Bay Area. The new amendments impose stricter FCCU control requirements to reduce health- threatening air pollution.

“Today’s vote by the Air District Board of Directors is a victory for every Bay Area resident, particularly those living in communities surrounding refineries as well as the refinery workers regularly exposed to harmful particulate pollution,” said Santa Clara County Supervisor Cindy Chavez, who is chair of the Air District Board of Directors. “We are committed to protecting the health of both refinery workers and neighbors and look forward to implementing this landmark protective rule with Chevron and PBF.”

“As scientific understanding continues to advance on the harmful health effects of particulate matter

pollution, stricter controls are necessary to protect air pollution exposure in impacted areas and t

The Air District is committed to reducing toward controlling the most significant air pollution health hazard in the Bay Area.”
