Protests & Violence
NYPD's 'Goon Squad' Manual Sheds Light on
Mishandling of 2020 Protests
Manual Teaches Officers to "Violate Protesters' Rights"
Internal NYPD documents shed new light on the Strategic Response Group, or
SRG, the heavily militarized police unit behind the crackdown on George Floyd
protesters.
Despite
its visibility, little is publicly known about the SRG and how its
specialized officers are trained to respond to protests. Even the frequently
cited number of 700 SRG officers is an estimate; the NYPD will not
confirm the unit’s headcount.
Now a series of internal documents obtained by The Intercept shed new light on
the police unit behind some of the most brutal repression of protests in the
wake of George Floyd’s killing. The Intercept is publishing three of the
public records with this story, including the SRG’s
guidelines and manuals for its
field force operations and
bike squads.
The documents offer a comprehensive overview of how the SRG operates. They
outline the unit’s responsibilities during routine assignments to precincts
across the city, to which its officers are dispatched in response to spikes
in crime and during special mobilizations, including to protests. The
documents provide instructions regarding “mass arrest” procedures,
guidelines for officers equipped with Colt M4 rifles, and directions for
plainclothes, “counter-surveillance” officers tasked with shadowing
tactical teams in the field.
Marked as “law enforcement sensitive” and bearing destruction notices, the
documents also detail a variety of formations and maneuvers for bike squads and
teams of officers on foot and in vehicles. Some of the maneuvers described in
detail are variations of what the NYPD refers to as “encirclement,” the
police’s name for what demonstrators call “kettling,” a technique civil
rights advocates have
long denounced as leading to police abuses.
Over the last months, a series of
scathing reports by
independent agencies condemned the NYPD’s response to the protests. The
reports, which underscored the department’s lack of preparedness and
officers’ poor training, contributed to a narrative that has become frequent
in the wake of police abuses: that officers would have
better handled such situations with better training — and thus more
resources.
That narrative is complicated by the internal documents reviewed by The
Intercept. Many of the policies laid out in the documents were not followed last
summer or during more recent police crackdowns on protests. But the documents
also raise questions about the content of police training on protest response
itself. While paying lip service to protesters’ constitutional rights, the
documents do little to explain how those rights should be protected, offering
instead page after page of instructions on how to circumvent them.

Chauvin - "Then Stop Yelling" Told Floyd
Derek Chauvin Trial Focuses on Police Use of Deadly Force
Police officials and experts in recent days have testified that Chauvin used
excessive force in his arrest of George Floyd
“At the time of the restraint period Mr. Floyd was not resisting,” Sgt. Stiger
said. “He was in the prone position, he was handcuffed, he was not attempting to
evade, he was not attempting to resist, and the pressure that was being caused
by the body weight could cause positional asphyxia which could cause death.”
Mr. Stiger also said he did not believe that officers were distracted by
people yelling nearby, and pointed to a verbal exchange between Messrs.
Chauvin and Floyd to show that Mr. Chauvin was listening when Mr. Floyd was
saying, “Everything hurts” and “please, please I can’t breathe, officer.”
“Then stop talking, stop yelling,” Mr. Chauvin is heard saying, according
to body-camera footage. “It takes a heck of a lot of oxygen to talk.”
Wednesday’s testimony comes after several days of testimony from police
officials and experts who have said that Mr. Chauvin used excessive force in
restraining Mr. Floyd. That included testimony on Monday from Minneapolis Police
Chief Medaria Arradondo who said that
Mr. Chauvin violated multiple policies when he restrained Mr. Floyd on May
25.

The World is Watching
The power of televising Derek Chauvin’s trial
The
trial of Derek Chauvin wasn’t going to be broadcast. Minnesota trials never are.
It took a pandemic and a decision by Judge Peter Cahill to change that over
the objections of the prosecution. Attorney General Keith Ellison’s office
argued that televising the hearings live might intimidate the witnesses, making
them hesitant to testify. A coalition of news outlets, the defense, and,
ultimately, Cahill disagreed.
Members of the public usually have the right to observe courtroom proceedings.
It’s typically also safe for a crowd to gather peacefully in a courtroom, or in
an overflow room with closed-circuit TVs. But we’re not living in normal times,
and this is not a normal trial.
In requesting the change to the Minnesota court system’s standard procedures,
news outlets argued that “given the enormous public interest in this trial, the
limitations imposed by the pandemic, and the options created by modern
technology, meaningful access equates to remote access.” Essentially,
they said Chauvin’s trial is not just about what happened in Minnesota. It’s
about what is happening across America.

Mass Shootings
The Contagious Nature of Mass-Shootings Fueled by Desire for Fame
After three deadly gun rampages, survivors and experts fear what comes next
Authorities
laid out a harrowing sequence: A 21-year-old white supremacist was believed to
have posted a 2,300-word screed online in August 2019, saying the mass shooting
he was planning was inspired by another shooter who had earlier killed 51 people
in New Zealand mosques. Minutes later, authorities say, Patrick Crusius stormed
into a Walmart in Texas, killing 23 people, most of them the Latinos he said he
had targeted.
Such cases have helped establish what experts say is the
contagious nature of mass shootings: When one
high-profile event takes place, another is likely to follow.
That is why recent events have them worried. Over the past three weeks, 22
people have died in three major mass shootings in the United States, according
to a
Washington Post database that tracks those events.
Gary Slutkin, an epidemiologist who studies mass shootings and intervention
methods, said that to understand the contagious nature of these high-profile
events, it helps to think of it like a disease.
For mass shooters, he said, exposure often comes from hanging out in online chat
rooms where people discuss and glorify past mass shooters. Susceptibility might
come from a perceived grievance — something they believe is unfair in their life
— coupled with past trauma, like being bullied, he said.

Mass Shooting Incidents Up
115% Since 2014
![](http://d-ddaily.com/images/4-7-21mass-shootings.PNG)
How Many Mass Shootings Have There Been in 2021 So Far?
It Depends How You Count
According to
the Gun Violence Archive, there have been 131 mass
shootings so far this year - but not all organizations define "mass
shooting" the same way
Three massage parlors in Atlanta, a grocery store in Colorado and an
office in California were all sites of deadly mass shootings in March 2021.
Twenty-two lives were lost during these tragedies, leading to renewed calls for
action to prevent gun violence.
Campaigners often cite mass shooting statistics. So, how regular are mass
shootings and how many have there been in 2021? It depends how you count.
There is not a single universally accepted definition of a mass shooting.
The Violence
Project defines "mass shootings" as those in which "four or more
victims are murdered with firearms—not including the offender(s)—within one
event, and at least some of the murders occurred in a public location or
locations in close geographical proximity."
The Gun Violence
Archive defines "mass shootings" as involving "a minimum of four
victims shot, either injured or killed, not including any shooter who may also
have been killed or injured in the incident."
U.S. law, as set by Congress, does not offer
a specific definition of a "mass shooting."
After the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook, however, Congress moved to define "mass
killings" as incidents in which three or more people are killed in a single
incident.

Background Checks Set Record Highs in Three Consecutive Months
Going All Guns Nationwide
4.7M Gun Background Checks Soar to Record High in March - 4.3M in Jan.
Background
checks for firearm sales reached a record high in March as the U.S. saw multiple
mass shootings.
According to FBI data, the bureau conducted nearly 4.7 million background
checks, breaking the record high that was just
set in January, another month that was marked with violence and turmoil.
March's background checks represent a 36% increase from February, which
saw about 3.44 million checks. Additionally, nearly 1 million more background
checks took place last month than in March 2020.
Illinois had
the most background checks conducted last month, with more than 1.4 million.
The state is followed by Kentucky, which saw 330,476 checks.
Of the top 10 days for most background checks, six were in March 2021,
according to FBI data, including the top three days. Following deadly
mass shootings in Atlanta and Boulder, Colorado, gun sales soared and five of
the top days occurred following either one or both shootings.
Demand has far outrun supply for guns and ammunition since the pandemic began,
as anxieties about the public health crisis, civil unrest after George Floyd’s
killing and the 2020 election, ran high.

Atlanta Gun Shop Selling Five Times Normal Rate of 100 Guns a Day

firearms being sold right now probably than ever before.” “People more than

doorsteps and they’ve never experienced that before.”
“License firearms retail is an essential business and have remained open,
because it’s how people exercise a fundamental constitutional right. I don’t

"Wear the Damn Mask"
Employers can follow Gov. Hogan’s example in requiring workers to wear masks.
Last
year during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R)
became famous when he made a public service announcement where at the end he
looked intently into the camera and said loudly, “Wear the damn mask!” Now it
turns out that even where state governments are abandoning mask mandates,
employers can still require their workers to wear them.
This is particularly the case for employers because the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) mandated mask wearing in workplaces, and nothing suggests
that the federal government is supporting an end to mask mandates. In fact,
President Biden has made it clear that he regards mask wearing as such a clear
imperative one of his first acts when he was sworn in was to require it for all
federal government facilities.

CDC Recommends Appointing 'Vaccination
Ambassadors' in Stores
CDC Recommends Employer Steps to Increase Vaccine Acceptance
Employers should consider appointing "vaccination ambassadors" to make
workers more likely to get the COVID-19 vaccine, according to the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Ensure certain precautions are
in place before appointing vaccination ambassadors, legal experts recommend.
The following measures may increase vaccine acceptance in the workforce,
according to the CDC:
- Train interested staff to become COVID-19 vaccination ambassadors who will
speak confidently and honestly, relaying personal stories about the vaccine to
fellow co-workers and addressing any of their concerns.

California aims to fully reopen the economy June 15
The date isn’t set in stone. And officials emphasize that getting to the point
where California can widely reopen for the first time in more than a year will
hinge on two factors: a sufficient vaccine supply to inoculate all those who are
eligible and stable and low numbers of people hospitalized with the disease.
June 15 also won’t bring a full return to pre-pandemic life. Notably,
California’s mask mandate will remain in place for the foreseeable future.

Rebuilding Social & Emotional Connections With
Returning Workers is Key
Many workplaces expect to reopen in Q3 2021, Gartner says
Nearly half of 258 HR leaders polled by Gartner in a recent survey said
they expect their workplaces to reopen in Q3 2021, and about one-quarter
said their workplaces are aiming for Q4 2021. Separately, nearly half of 227
leaders said they will not track the vaccination status of their employees,
according
the March 25 results.
Many said they will plan for a hybrid workforce; 59% of 241 leaders surveyed
said they will let workers work remotely occasionally with manager approval,
a 21 percentage point increase since November 2020.
Only 1% of HR leaders surveyed said they expect all of their workers to
work-full time in the office, Brian Kropp, chief of research for the Gartner
HR practice, said in a statement. "When offices reopen, many individuals will
have been working from home for nearly two years or more and new ways of working
will be engrained," he added. "It will be critical for employers to focus on
building social and emotional connections with, and between, their employees
again."
Hybrid work will factor heavily into planning for 2021 and beyond,
Gartner said in a January report, and may include employers deciding
"what their corporate offices can offer employees that other spaces cannot."

Some Good Stuff Came Out of the Pandemic
Peer-Pressure & Setting Boundaries Once it's Over
Can we keep positive changes we made during the pandemic?
COVID forced us to change the way we live our lives: It shifted where and how we
spent our time and money. In the process, we adopted all sorts of habits and
practices. We've taken up new hobbies, incorporated more self-care, or are
spending more time outdoors. We're conducting appointments online and ordering
groceries. Many of us are working, and working out, at home.
While some of us can't wait to get dressed up again, or cram our schedules with
activities, others have discovered that they would prefer to continue the
routines that the pandemic helped them establish - whether that's holding
nightly family dinners, embracing a less hectic social life or forgoing makeup.
Maintaining these changes, however, could be surprisingly difficult.

Ikea Attorney Blames Security Executive For
'System of Espionage'
Prosecutor Wants Prison Time for Two Exec's + $2M
A ‘System of Espionage’ Reigned at Ikea, a French Prosecutor Charges
In a case riveting national attention, Ikea France is charged with
violating privacy rights by surveilling unions, employees and customers.
The
USB stick mysteriously appeared from an unidentified deliveryman. It held an
explosive trove: a cache of startling emails detailing an intricate effort by
Ikea executives in France to dig up information on employees, job applicants and
even customers.
“Tell me if these people are known to the police,” read one executive’s
message to a private investigator, seeking illicit background checks on hundreds
of Ikea job applicants.
“A model worker has become a radical employee representative overnight,” read
another. “We need to find out why.”
A decade after those emails surfaced, they are at the center of a criminal
trial that has riveted public attention in France. Prosecutors are accusing
the French arm of Ikea, the Swedish home furnishings giant, and some of its
former executives of engineering a “system of espionage” from 2009 to 2012.

Alarmed by recent mass shootings, California lawmakers push to tax guns
and ammo
Citing recent mass shootings in Orange, Boulder, Colo., and the Atlanta area,
state lawmakers on Tuesday advanced a proposal for a new tax on the sale of guns
and ammunition in California to boost funding for violence prevention programs.
The legislation by Assemblyman Marc Levine (D-San Rafael) would place a $25
excise tax on retailers for the sale of each new gun and an as-yet-undetermined
levy on ammo sales to raise millions of dollars to fund the efforts.
“Gun violence will not end on its own,” Levine told the Assembly Public Safety
Committee during a hearing Tuesday. “We must take responsible action to end the
public health crisis that is gun violence in our state, in our nation.”
The panel voted 5 to 2 along party lines to approve the legislation, which still
needs approval from the full Assembly.
Levine said that in just the first three months of this year there were more
than 100 mass shootings in the United States.
Nationwide, Americans purchased a record 21 million firearms last year,
according to Small Arms Analytics & Forecasting, a research firm that tracks
firearms.
Levine proposes that the money raised by the new taxes go to expanding the
California Violence Intervention and Prevention Grant Program, which gives money
to cities and community-based organizations working to reduce shootings in
high-crime areas, including those that are home to street gangs.
The state allocated $30 million for the program in 2019. The new gun tax alone
could generate an additional $13 million annually based on estimates for a
similar proposal in 2019 that did not reach the governor.

Zoom Meetings Are Here to Stay: Can We Beat the Fatigue?
Published by Warton University of Pennsylvania
CEO Bans Zoom Meetings On Fridays - Because Zoom Fatigue is Real & It's Here
The
struggle with Zoom fatigue is real. It’s so real that Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser
has
banned internal Zoom meetings on Fridays in an effort to combat it.
The blurring of lines between home and work and the relentlessness of the
pandemic workday have taken a toll on our well-being,” she said in a March
company memo. “When our work regularly spills over into nights, very early
mornings and weekends, it can prevent us from recharging fully, and that isn’t
good for you nor, ultimately, for Citi.”
Videoconferencing has become invaluable during the pandemic, allowing businesses
and organizations to keep going at full speed as employees work from home. But
companies like Citigroup are now dealing with the unintended consequence of
Zoom fatigue, which scientists describe as the taxing effect that
constant videoconferencing has on the body and the brain. Wharton management
professor
Iwan Barankay said company leaders must improve the culture around video
meetings because they are here to stay, regardless of whether employees
physically return to the office.
What's wrong with it
Barankay said videoconferencing has replaced personal engagement, which
is one of the biggest sources of creativity and innovation in an office setting.
With video, there are no chance encounters, casual conversations, or other
interactions that can spark ideas. It’s also harder for employees to feel
connected to each other or to a larger mission when all their conversations are
on screen.
Barankay’s point is underscored by new research into Zoom fatigue.
According to some studies, the core dilemma in videoconferencing is
the trade-off between risk and reward. In-person social interactions are
associated with reward, affecting the neurological pathways in the brain that
boost alertness. But virtual interactions require greater cognitive and
physical effort, which can lead to stress.
Barankay called out another inherent problem with video meetings: Workplace
hierarchy often means the manager talks while employees passively listen. “When
you have a meeting where somebody talks for three minutes and you can’t
participate, people just switch off,” he noted.

Malls Facing a Day of Reckoning
UBS: More than 80K stores likely to close in the next 5 year
With e-commerce up dramatically, some 80,000 — and as many as 150,000 — U.S.
stores could close over the next five years, according to a report from UBS
analysts led by Michael Lasser and Jay Sole. They expect apparel, consumer
electronics and furniture stores to be hard hit and home improvement and
grocery stores to be largely spared.
While online sales accelerated to 18% of retail last year, up from 14% in 2019,
the number of closures fell to 3,500 from 3,900, thanks to the
government's financial support to consumers and as less spending went to
services. Consumption of goods grew 6% even as total personal expenditures
declined, according to the report. "However, we think those trends are
temporary," analysts said
With excess space before the pandemic, and their specialty tenant and anchor
bases under pressure, malls face a reckoning. Department store sales fell 18%
last year and are down 43% since before the Great Recession, UBS said.
Despite many closures in the sector, including at Sears, Macy's, Bon-Ton and
J.C. Penney, more are likely, they said.
In their report, UBS analysts said they assume that e-commerce penetration
will reach 27% in 2026, up from 18% last year.
That's changing the landscape, literally: By UBS's measure, Amazon last year
grew its U.S. fulfillment space by some 100 million square feet; that plus
Wayfair's fulfillment expansion reached the equivalent of 21,000 retail stores.

Cybersecurity Exercise
Top trade associations in retail, hospitality, and travel partner with
RH-ISAC and CISA to support the first industry-wide exercise focused on

hosting the first retail, hospitality, and travel industry-wide cybersecurity
exercise in June 2021.
The exercise, EX-RH2021, will be virtual and will cover a full day of play
including a training session at the start for participants to get the most out
of the exercise. EX-RH2021 will include exercise inputs that are designed to
challenge infosec teams as well as executive decision making, operational

corporate environments impacted by cybersecurity threats. The exercise construct
is designed for companies with information security teams and capabilities of
all sizes and ranges of competence.
“RH-ISAC

organizations, and as such is the ideal host for the first sector-wide
exercise,” commented Suzie Squier, president of RH-ISAC. “Together, with CISA
and key trade associations, we’ll be able to mature our enterprise security
activities as well as our collective coordination.”
Participation will benefit personnel in roles including:

Crime Service Gives Firms Another Reason to Purge Macros
Recent Trickbot campaigns and at least three common banking Trojans all attempt
to infect systems using malicious macros in Microsoft Office documents created
using EtterSilent.
A crime service gives attackers the ability to generate malicious Microsoft Word
documents capable of compromising systems with hard-to-detect attacks,
underscoring the continued danger posed by macros, according to a new analysis
from threat intelligence firm Intel471.
The service, known as EtterSilent, has rapidly become popular among
cybercrime groups and allows attackers to create Word files that pose as
DocuSign documents but, in reality, can compromise systems using either macros
or by exploiting a known vulnerability. Windows systems configured to allow
macros to be executed, or which have not been patched for the specific
vulnerability, are at risk from files created by the service.
While most companies have restrictions on macros — and by default, Microsoft
sets macros to be disabled with a notification — users can often turn on the
execution of macros, and just compromising a few of those targets is worth the
effort for attackers, says Brandon Hoffman, chief information security
officer for Intel471.
"Recent versions of Microsoft Office have macros enabled by default, but rely on
the user to click a button before any macros can run,"
the NCSC stated in the recommendations. "It is relatively simple to trick
the user into clicking this button, so you cannot rely on it as a mitigation."

Data Sharing: Myths vs. Reality
IronNet’s Brett Williams on Why Now, More Than Ever, We Need Collective
Defense
If recent attacks have taught anything, it’s that defenses are insufficient, and
no entity can stand alone against the forces of nation-state adversaries. It’s
time for enhanced data sharing under the umbrella of collective defense, says
Brett Williams, co-founder of IronNet Cybersecurity.
In
this video interview with ISMG, Williams discusses:
● The concept of
collective defense;
● Myths and realities
about private and public sector data sharing;
● How IronNet
Cybersecurity is helping build a new ecosystem for proactive data sharing.
Retired Maj. Gen. Brett T. Williams is a co-founder of IronNet Cybersecurity,
which delivers the power of collective cybersecurity to defend companies,
sectors and nations.

Stolen Cards, Reportedly From Cardpool.com, Sold on Darknet
A Russian-speaking cybercriminal recently sold on a darknet forum thousands of
stolen payment and gift cards that researchers at
Gemini Advisory believe were taken from the now-defunct online gift card
exchange Cardpool.com.
In a report released Tuesday, the threat intelligence firm says the
cybercriminal listed 895,000 stolen gift cards and 330,000 stolen payment cards
for sale in February on a Russian cybercrime forum. The stolen gift cards, which
have an estimated face value of $38 million, were issued by more than 3,000
companies, including Airbnb, Amazon, American Airlines, Chipotle, Dunkin', Home
Depot, Marriott and Nike, the research report says.

Booking.com fined €475,000 for reporting data breach too late
The Dutch Data Protection Authority has fined hotel booking website Booking.com
€475,000 ($560,000) for reporting a security incident 22 days after it happened,
in breach of EU GDPR regulations that dictate that all breaches must be
disclosed within 72 hours.
The Dutch privacy watchdog said it fined the company because it learned of the
breach on January 13, 2019, but notified authorities only on February 7, 22 days
after the standard three-day GDPR breach reporting deadline had expired.
“This is a serious violation,” said Monique Verdier, vice-president of the Dutch
Data Protection Authority. “‘A data breach can unfortunately happen anywhere,
even if you have taken good precautions. But to prevent damage to your
customers and the recurrence of such a data breach, you have to report this in
time.”

New Regulations for Online Platforms &
Marketplaces
Tech Businesses From Doordash To Amazon Push Back Against Legislative Oversight
Measures
Major tech companies, from food delivery platforms Grubhub and DoorDash to
online marketplaces Amazon and eBay, are pushing back on two measures
introduced by Sen. Dina Neal (D-North Las Vegas) that would strengthen state
regulation of online business.
The first of Neal's bills,
SB314, would introduce new reporting requirements for high volume
sellers, and her other bill,
SB320, would establish regulations for the relationships between restaurants
and delivery platforms. Both bills were heard Tuesday in the Senate Commerce
and Labor committee.
During the hearing, Neal emphasized that the proposals would ensure greater
transparency from newer online companies and help protect consumers and small
businesses.
SB314 would require high volume online sellers — defined as marketplace
sellers that make 200-plus sales exceeding $5,000 in gross receipts annually
— to report specific business information to the online marketplace they
operate through, including business name, address, phone number and email
address.
The bill was opposed during the hearing by Amazon — which recently
engaged in a Twitter spat with Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Elizabeth Warren
(D-MA), prominent critics of the company's business practices. Another group of
online marketplaces, including eBay, Etsy and OfferUp, sent in an opposition
statement to the bill.
During the presentation of the bill, Bryan Wachter, a lobbyist for the Retail
Association of Nevada, pointed to the financial impact of counterfeit goods and
organized retail crime as reason for the measure — in 2019, the National
Retail Foundation found that 97 percent of retailers had been victimized by
organized retail crime.
The bill received support from the Vegas Chamber and Reno Sparks Chamber of
Commerce, as well as Home Depot. John Dillon, a government relations manager
for the company, said that Home Depot sees a need for the legislation because of
the growth of organized retail crime and that the bill would help provide
greater transparency to consumers, as they make decisions about making safe
purchases online.

Amazon Buys 3 Malls in 5 Months
Amazon goes shopping at the mall
Amazon.com has been on a buying spree that provides further proof that Americans
have changed their shopping habits in recent years and, most notably, since the
novel coronavirus pandemic hit the U.S. What has Amazon been buying? The
answer in a word — malls.
NBC News reports that the retail and technology giant received approvals
last month in Baton Rouge, LA, and Knoxville, TN, to transform malls in
those locations into distribution facilities. Amazon also got the okay to do the
same at a mall in Worcester, MA, in December.
The Wall Street Journal reported last August that Amazon held talks with
Simon Property Group, the nation’s largest mall operator, about leasing
anchor locations on some of its properties that were currently and formerly
occupied by J.C. Penney or Sears.

Shop Till You Pop - Programmed For Fraud?
Machines That Shop for Themselves Promise to Save Time and Money
As everything from trucks to toasters goes online, the next step for connected
devices is the ability to buy and sell goods and services for their human users.
As everything from toasters to trucks gets connected online—an ecosystem
known as the Internet of Things—banks, information technology companies and
manufacturers are looking to equip those devices with the ability to buy and
sell goods and services on behalf of human users, in most cases without the need
for their intervention.
There could be as many as one trillion connected devices world-wide by 2035.
An autonomous truck might one day be able to process payments upon delivery of
goods, generate its own tax declaration and pitch its services on freight
platforms. “That really remains the vision—that the machine can administer
itself,” Dr. Königs says.
Ensuring device-to-device payments are secure is going to be paramount,
says Mary Kay Bowman, the head of global seller solutions at Visa. She expects
offerings like Visa Token Service, which replaces credit card credentials with a
digital token only Visa can unlock, will become more common.

Tulsa, OK: $100K in Stolen Cigarettes, female suspect arrested
Last
month the Riverside Street Crime Unit started investigating serial cigarette
thieves responsible for stealing around $100,000 in cigarettes. The suspects
were known to enter Walgreens and carry bags full of cigarettes out of the store
without paying. Last week, officers arrested Jessica Barnett. She admitted to
stealing from a least one Walgreens every night for the past 30 days. Barnett
admitted she was then turning around and selling the stolen cigarettes to a
north Tulsa Convenience store. Numerous packs and cartons were recovered from
the north Tulsa C-Store and traced back to multiple area retailers where they
were stolen. Officers arrested Jessica Barnett on four counts of grand larceny
and two counts of petit larceny. Another suspect is still outstanding and the
investigation is ongoing.

Chicago, IL: Group stealing Donated items from West Side church
It
is a blessing for mothers and expectant mothers on the West Side as people
respond after thieves steal thousands of dollars' worth of baby goods from a
church in the Austin neighborhood. The diapers and other items were supposed
to have been given away on Saturday, but the event was canceled. The story
started on Friday when the side door to the church was inadvertently left open
and what happened next was captured on security cameras. "We have some videos of
all the people coming in, going out. Coming in, going out. They acted like it
was a store or something," Wright said. Pastor Wright says about a dozen
people took thousands of dollars' worth of donated diapers, baby formula and
baby wipes that were supposed to be given away to hundreds of mothers and
expectant mothers at a baby bank event on Saturday.

Madelia, MN: Cashier allegedly stole thousands from Hispanic market; upset they
installed cameras
An employee is accused of stealing over $26,000 from the Hispanic market in
Madelia. Deborah Elizama Soria, 43, of Eagle Lake, was charged with felony theft
Monday in Watonwan County District Court. The owner of the Fiesta Market in
Madelia reported in December she suspected Soria was skimming money, according
to a court complaint. She discovered the thefts after installing security
cameras in November, the owner said. The market has a check-cashing service.
Each time Soria cashed a customer’s check, camera footage allegedly shows her
take more money out of the register than needed to cash the check. Soria then
stepped out of the view of cameras each time, the charges say. The owner tracked
cash compared to sales receipts each day Soria worked in November and December
and reported there were shortages totaling more than $26,500. The owner said she
suspected Soria had also been skimming funds before the cameras were
installed. Soria lived lavishly despite working only at the market part time,
the owner said. And she reportedly was hostile about the security cameras being
installed and asked questions about how they worked.

Shootings & Deaths
Monterey Park, CA: Man, Woman Killed in Monterey Park Restaurant Shooting
A man and woman were killed in a shooting at an Asian restaurant in Monterey
Park and the suspected gunman was on the loose Tuesday. Officers responded at
about 6:30 p.m. Monday to a 911 call of a shooting on West Garvey Avenue. They
found the victims, both of whom had sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the
upper body and were pronounced dead at the scene, according to Deputy Tracy
Koerner of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, which was assisting
Monterey Park police with the investigation. Witnesses described the suspect as
an Asian man in his late 30s or early 40s, and detectives believe the suspect
knew and specifically targeted the victims, Koerner said, adding the shooting
did not appear to be a random act of violence.

Toms River, NJ: Man stole Blue paint from Home Depot for Pro-Police Line
Police
say a thief illegally painted a pro-police blue line down the middle of a street
— and did so using stolen paint. David Giordano, 43, a township resident, was
identified a week earlier as the person who took it upon himself to paint a blue
line, which had been pitched by the Ocean County Sheriff in support of law
enforcement. Giordano has an "extensive history with the Toms River Police
Department and justice system," according to police, who recently had charged
him with theft, burglary and criminal mischief for breaking out his impounded
bucket truck from a locked lot along Route 9. It had been impounded more than
300 days earlier over unpaid bills, according to police.
On Monday, police said that Home Depot store surveillance video showed Giordano
shoplifting the 11 cans of blue spray paint that he used to apply the illegal
line. He has now been charged with shoplifting as well as possession of drugs
and paraphernalia. "While we appreciate the overwhelming support for law
enforcement, we can not condone the defacing of any property," police had said
in a written statement following the nighttime incident on March 29.

Speed Kills! As the old expression goes, so does the pace of today's world. With
technology leashing us forward and mobile coming at the speed of light, no one
can slow down. The problem then becomes focus and concentration. Multitasking,
while impossible to avoid, leads to a reduction in quality and quality is what
every senior executive must be focused on. So the next time you're running fast,
just take one second and think, was the service you just delivered quality
service.
Just a Thought, Gus
