Violence & Protests


6 Security Officers Shot or Killed in 7 Days
At least six security officers, including a TSA employee, have been shot or killed during the past seven days. Detroit police are investigating a homicide of a security officer while police in Miami investigate the homicide of a TSA security officer who was shot to death just after leaving her job at the Miami International Airport.

An attempted carjacking and robbery of a Brinks armored truck in Atlanta has left a security officer shot and police and FBI agents searching for answers and suspects. The security employees stopped at a café at 2225 Marietta Blvd at around 6:09 a.m Tuesday to grab breakfast when the shooting happened according to the Atlanta police.

Three nightclub security officers at separate businesses were also involved in shootings over the weekend. A bar patron was shot and killed by a security guard outside the bar in Tucson early Sunday. A security guard in the parking lot was performing CPR on an unresponsive man. Officers took over and found obvious signs of gunshot trauma. Police said that the security guard shot him while he was shooting a gun into the air.

An incident at a San Antonio bar has also left a security officer shot. Police report that the incident occurred at the Social Spot Bar during an argument. An altercation happened, someone grabbed their gun and started shooting. Police have not made any arrests.

A security officer was also cut with a knife while trying to stop a theft suspect at the Love’s Truck Stop in East Nashville. The man was arrested and the security officer was treated and released from an area hospital. privateofficerbreakingnews.blogspot.com

St. Paul weighs future of homeless drop-in center linked to increased crime
Neighboring businesses object to location of Freedom House for homeless in St. Paul.

The future of a drop-in center for the homeless in St. Paul lies with the city planning commission, which will weigh the needs of this vulnerable population with the complaints of local businesses and neighbors over an increase in nuisance behavior and crimes.

St. Paul sought to limit the number of visitors served each day to 20, instead of the more than 100 served each day. A federal judge blocked those restrictions in 2018.

With the city's emergency authorization expiring, the Planning Commission could change the zoning to allow the shelter to continue operation. Last week, commissioners voted to extend the public comment period, with a second public hearing planned for May 28. startribune.com

Menard's Security Guard Gets 3.5 Yrs Jail + Restitution for Off-Duty Crimes
St. Paul man sentenced to prison and $12 million restitution for arson of Minneapolis' Third Precinct
Branden M. Wolfe of St. Paul also stole police weapons, other gear during last summer's riots in Minneapolis.

A St. Paul man who helped burn down the Minneapolis Third Precinct headquarters and stole police weapons and other gear during last summer's riots was sentenced this week to 3½ years in prison and ordered to pay $12 million in restitution.

While others set a fire, Wolfe rolled a barrel into the police station with "the intent to accelerate" the blaze, according to court records. He also entered the building and stole a police vest, duty belt, handcuffs, earpiece, baton, knife, riot helmet, pistol magazine, police radio, police overdose kit, uniform name plates and ammunition, according to prosecutors.

Wolfe was arrested at his security job at Menards wearing the police security vest a week after the riots. He pleaded guilty in December in U.S. District Court in Minnesota to one count of conspiracy to commit arson.

One of Wolfe's co-conspirators, Dylan Shakespeare Robinson, 23, was sentenced last week to four years in prison and $12 million in restitution. Two other men, Bryce Michael Williams, 27, and Davon De-Andre Turner, 25, have pleaded guilty to taking part in setting the police station on fire, and have not yet been sentenced. startribune.com

Antifa's Showdown with Portland Officials & Residents
After a year of protests, Portland residents have waning patience for Antifa

Rose City Antifa is one of the nation’s oldest active antifa groups.

Rose City Antifa is one of the nation's oldest active antifa groups. Members rarely give interviews, but two who say they are part of antifa agreed to speak to "Nightline" as the situation in their city of Portland, Oregon, has become a prolonged and destructive stalemate.

Rose City Antifa members "Milo" and "Ace" use pseudonyms and they asked that their faces and voices be obscured for this report. "The use of violence is a tactic of how we keep our communities safe," Milo said.

Much of the blame for the chaos, property damage and violence over the last year have landed on the self-described anti-racist, anti-facist far left organizers. The black-clad coterie entrenched in the city's protest movement now find themselves in a tense showdown with city officials.

"We've always had protests here. But to see some of the violent acts like the Molotov cocktails and some of the things thrown at officers has been really new to us," Portland's Police Chief Chuck Lovell told "Nightline."

Mayor Ted Wheeler has been outspoken against the group in recent months.

Amid the back and forth, Portland residents are left drained from the conflict and are increasingly decrying the property destruction thought to be perpetuated by antifa.

"I feel frustrated that this is all still going on," said Ian Williiams, owner of Deadstock Coffee, a sneaker-themed cafe downtown. "But I also feel frustrated that Black people keep getting killed. I feel frustrated that small businesses really aren't able to be successful during this time, especially in the state of Oregon."

Antifa claims they're defending their city not only against heavy-handed police tactics, but also from threats from far right extremists, groups like the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers -- leading to fierce standoffs. abcnews.go.com

Alleged Racial Profiling at Safeway Leads to Protests
San Francisco Students, Parents Protest Racial Profiling of Black 5th Grader at Castro Safeway
Children from a San Francisco elementary school named after a civil rights icon rallied Wednesday, demanding justice for a Black fifth-grade student who was falsely accused of stealing a sandwich at a Castro District Safeway.

On April 26th, 11-year-old Ja’Mari Oliver walked into Safeway and bought a sandwich for lunch as his mom waiting in the car. When he tried to leave, he was stopped by store security. “I went to the sandwich deli to pay for my sandwich. When I came back, the security guard told me to put my sandwich on the counter because I didn’t pay for it,” Ja’Mari told KPIX 5.

He left the store in tears. “He showed them his receipt and everything. They were antagonizing him, until the manager walked up and said to basically leave him alone,” said his mother Tatiana Hawkins Pigge. sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com

Variants a concern as Minn. plans rollback of COVID restrictions, mask mandate
Walz will ease restrictions as cases drop, vaccination rate moves closer to 70%.

While Gov. Tim Walz is scheduled at noon Thursday to announce a three-phase plan to eliminate business and social restrictions because of improving case numbers, state health officials said close monitoring of more infectious variants of the virus that causes COVID-19 is needed to prevent any resurgence in pandemic activity. The B.1.1.7 variant found in England largely caused Minnesota's latest wave of infections.

Walz's plan is for a graduated elimination of remaining COVID-19 mitigation strategies, including the mask mandate for public indoor spaces, that will be somewhat tied to Minnesota's ability to advance from a vaccination rate of 59% among eligible people to 70%. startribune.com

Enlisting Dollar Stores for Next Phase of Vaccine Effort?
Dollar stores: gateways to equitable Covid-19 vaccine distribution
With the number of Americans receiving Covid-19 vaccines each week starting to decline, it’s time to pull out the stops to reach those who are willing to be vaccinated but haven’t yet been able to do so. Enlisting dollar stores as vaccination sites is one way to make vaccines more widely and equitably available.

Proximity to a vaccination site may be particularly important for low-income households. Given that Dollar General’s business model is to locate stores in lower-income “retail deserts,” it’s no surprise that adding its 17,000 retail locations as vaccine sites would improve the fraction of low-income households within a mile of a federal vaccine partner from 49% to 60%.

By adding Dollar General stores to the mix of available vaccination sites, about 40% of low-income Arkansans would be within a mile of a federal retail vaccine site and 87% would be within 10 miles.

When we’ve talked with people about this idea, they are quick to point out the challenges: Not every Dollar General store would be suitable as a vaccine site. And Dollar General stores don’t have in-store pharmacies, so vaccination staff would have to come to those to run clinics.

A partnership with a retail chain like Dollar General or other dollar store chains whose business model is to operate in lower-income areas could provide a jump-start to the hard work ahead reaching those individuals and communities willing but not yet able to get vaccines, the groups central to this critical next phase of the vaccination rollout. statnews.com

Waiving Intellectual Property Protections for COVID Vaccines

Taking ‘Extraordinary Measures,’ Biden Backs Suspending Patents on Vaccines

Biden, siding with some world leaders over the U.S. pharmaceutical industry, came out in favor of waiving intellectual property protections for coronavirus vaccines.

The Biden administration came out on Wednesday in support of waiving intellectual property protections for coronavirus vaccines, siding with international efforts to bolster production amid concerns about vaccine access in developing nations.

The United States had been a major holdout at the World Trade Organization over a proposal to suspend some of the world economic body’s intellectual property protections, which could allow drugmakers across the globe access to the closely guarded trade secrets of how the viable vaccines have been made. But President Biden had come under increasing pressure to throw his support behind the proposal, drafted by India and South Africa and backed by many congressional Democrats. nytimes.com

Target funnels $5 million toward COVID-19 vaccine access
First $1 million to cover Lyft rides to and from vaccination appointments

Target Corp. has earmarked $5 million to support global, national and local efforts to help boost community access to COVID-19 vaccinations.

Target said Monday that, to start, the company is contributing $1 million to nonprofits offering access to free and discounted rides to coronavirus vaccine appointments via the Lyft Universal Vaccine Access campaign. Under the program, the rideshare company and a coalition of partners provide underserved communities access to rides to and from immunization sites.

Another $2.5 million is slated to go to local community groups nationwide to help fund COVID vaccination efforts in their neighborhoods. Target said $500,000 of those funds will aid the Minnesota Council on Foundations work with the Minnesota Department of Health’s vaccine equity effort to reach communities of color, people with disabilities and other vulnerable populations. The retailer also is funneling dollars to support Latinos Progresando in Chicago to facilitate vaccinations in the Hispanic community. supermarketnews.com

Reducing Retail Shrinkage With Video Surveillance

By Hedgie Bartol

The evolution of in-store shopping behaviors combined with the continued e-commerce boom has increased the importance for retailers to secure profit margins. Loss of inventory due to customer and employee theft can impact these margins significantly, meaning theft prevention should be a key focus area for retailers. The numbers prove this: According to a survey from the National Retail Federation and consulting firm Appriss Retail, retailers lost nearly $62 billion in 2019 due to inventory loss, representing 1.6 percent of total sales for the year. However, retailers can prevent such shrinkage — both inventory and profit-wise — by implementing video surveillance tools with powerful analytics technology that can address core issues and provide helpful solutions.

Direction Detection

Video-based people counting is an established solution in retail, but it’s also important to know where exactly shoppers are traveling throughout a store. For instance, if a customer tries to access restricted exits or store areas, which could be indicative of foul play, video surveillance tools should be able to detect and react to such activity if no employees are around.

Hedgie Bartol is the Retail Business Development Manager for the retail segment in North America at Axis Communications. By combining intelligent technology and human imagination, Axis Communications offers solutions based on sight, sound and analytics to improve security and optimize business performance. In his role, Bartol works closely with partners and retailers on strategic surveillance installations designed to maximize loss prevention and streamline business operations. mytotalretail.com

Prime Communications - Under Armour - VF Corp Talk COVID-19 Impact
The State of Loss Prevention and Asset Protection

Let’s take a look at pain points, best practices and COVID-19’s impact on loss prevention.

When people hear the term “loss prevention,” they usually think about limiting shrinkage and stopping theft. “Those are definitely the headliners,” acknowledges Alan Fagergren, Director of Loss Prevention at Prime Communications, AT&T’s largest authorized retailer. “But retailers incur loss in a lot of different ways, especially now with COVID. Between efficient payroll processes, operational mistakes, employee safety, and discounting, loss prevention is involved in a lot of different buckets.”

Perhaps it’s because of all the different roles they play, but loss prevention (LP)/asset protection (AP) professionals tend to be passionate about their jobs. “In general, there’s this crazy love affair AP people have with the work we do,” says Kristine Gentilella, Global Director of Retail Asset Protection at Under Armour. “For me personally, it’s probably one of the most satisfying departments to be in because you’re able to be that go-between for the back-office component and the forward-facing retail side.”

But just like about everything else in the world, the loss prevention/asset protection space has been hugely affected by the pandemic and the “traditional” threat landscape for security professionals in this area has evolved over the past year and half.

Increased Fraud and Crime Attempts

Since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of online purchases processed by retailers has exploded for many. “We’ve seen a huge uptick in our volume of traffic in the e-commerce channel, which is terrific, but that also means that fraudsters are getting more creative,” Gentilella says. Her digital fraud team has noticed a significant increase in attempts to push fraudulent orders through in the last year, for example. To combat this, they’ve been heavily utilizing analytical tools. “We have extremely low chargeback rates because we have an exceptional team that reviews these orders,” she says.

Fagergren says there has also been an increase in violent retail and white-collar crime and his team has seen more identity theft attempts than ever before. “I don’t necessarily think it’s due to only COVID, but I think that the technology and everything available on social media, and maybe being home more, has given more opportunity to some people out there that try to be one step ahead of us,” he says.

Marty Andrews, Vice President of Loss Prevention at VF Corporation, which owns several brands such as Vans, The North Face, and Timberland, has seen increased organized retail crime. He says this has been going on for years but not to this level of aggression and violence. “Subjects are going from mall to mall to mall stealing large amounts of merchandise to resell, without fear of being apprehended,” he says.

Zoombombing
Led to a Team of 50+
Zoom Beefed Up Compliance Team During Pandemic

The videoconferencing company formalized risk and ethics functions with the hiring of its first chief compliance officer last year

Zoom Video Communications Inc. quietly built a multilayered compliance team last year to formalize its risk and ethics functions under one leader as the company became a household name during the global pandemic.

The San Jose, Calif.-based videoconferencing company hired its first chief compliance officer in January 2020 and built a new compliance team with the addition of 50 more lawyers and compliance professionals, Lynn Haaland, Zoom’s deputy general counsel and chief compliance and ethics officer, said Wednesday at the WSJ Risk & Compliance Forum.

“There really hasn’t been for me a ‘pre-pandemic’ or ‘normal’ time at Zoom,” said Ms. Haaland, who is also Zoom’s chief privacy officer.

Zoom, which went public in 2019, has been one of the biggest corporate beneficiaries from the shift to remote work and distance schooling. The company said in March that it expected revenue this year would rise more than 41% after more than quadrupling to $2.65 billion in the fiscal year ended in January.

Early in the pandemic, Zoom struggled to deal with the explosion of “Zoombombing”—where people gain unauthorized access to a meeting and, in some cases, share hate-speech or pornographic images. Zoom responded by adjusting default settings for users, but Zoombombings still happen.

The company’s efforts have included the creation of individual teams working on issues related to compliance and ethics, such as the internal code of conduct and training, privacy, regulatory compliance, technical compliance, and “trust and safety,” Ms. Haaland said. wsj.com

Emergency Communications Trends for 2021
How the COVID-19 pandemic already has—and will continue to—influence how companies communicate with their staff employees, especially in the event of an emergency, crisis or natural disaster.

As the vaccine becomes more broadly available, employees will be met with several new safety regulations and procedures as they return to the office.

The good news is that there are numerous tools now available to help organizations navigate even the most complex of these transformations, especially when it comes to emergencies. For starters, an emergency communication system helps safety leaders reach employees wherever they are, whether at home or in the office, at a moment’s notice in the event of an emergency, crisis or natural disaster.

But effective communication is only half the battle. Organizations also need a mechanism for proactively identifying potential threats to employee safety and rapidly dispatching relevant information to those in harm’s way before it’s too late. Since proximity to a threat is often the primary factor in determining who is at risk during an emergency, the ability to accurately pinpoint employees’ location is invaluable for an organization’s emergency response plans.

Here’s a deeper look at four leading trends organizations will face as we all navigate the new world of work in 2021—and beyond.

Investments in Better Threat Detection

Organizations are increasingly turning to emergency communication systems with location awareness and global threat intelligence capabilities so they can automatically monitor for threats and calculate the potential impact of said threats on their employees.

StrongArm Tech Protecting Your Industrial Athletes
Walmart puts premium on warehouse safety with wearable tech
Walmart is putting a spotlight on employee safety with a wearable technology program it is implementing in its distribution centers

In 2018, the retailer began deploying the StrongArm Technologies Fuse Risk Management Platform at a Walmart grocery distribution center in Gordonsville, Va. As part of the rollout, associates wear a small sensor between their shoulder blades.

Associates wearing the Fuse sensors have a safety score as a benchmark. The higher they score from 0-100 every shift, the safer they have been. The sensors provide intuitive, actionable data on worker activity across multiple job functions. In addition, the data provides management with information to publicly praise associates who are consistently safety leaders.

Within the first year of deploying Fuse, targeted, ergonomic-related injuries decreased by nearly 65% across participating associates. Furthermore, Walmart saw an additional year-over-year targeted injury reduction of 27% in year two, and 16% in year three.

Since 2018, the company has launched the platform across 18 buildings and 6,000 associates, and additional program growth is underway. chainstoreage.com

McKinsey & Company
Establishing 'Tech Trust Teams'

Getting to know—and manage—your biggest AI risks
A systematic approach to identifying and prioritizing AI risks can help organizations effectively target mitigation effort

Many organizations are generating significant value with artificial intelligence (AI) and recognize that this technology will shape the future. At the same time, organizations are discovering that AI could expose them to a fast-changing universe of risks and ethical pitfalls that regulators signal they’ll be watching for—and potentially penalizing. Recently, the European Union proposed a set of AI regulations that, if violated, could result in material fines, and the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) put out notice that it could hold organizations accountable for proliferating bias or inequities through AI.

Just as AI deployment will be core to organizations’ future success, leading organizations will be those that actively identify and manage the associated risks. In our latest AI survey, respondents at organizations getting the most value from AI were more likely than others to recognize and mitigate the risks posed by the technology.

The prospect of protecting against a wide and growing range of AI risks might seem overwhelming, but neither avoiding AI nor turning a blind eye to the risks is a viable option in today’s competitive and increasingly digitized business environment. So where should companies start?

First, organizations must put business-minded legal and risk-management teams alongside the data-science team at the center of the AI development process. Waiting until after the development of AI models to determine where and how to mitigate risks is too inefficient and time consuming in a world of rapid AI deployments. Instead, risk analysis should be part of the initial AI model design, including the data collection and governance processes. Involving legal, risk, and technology professionals from the start enables them to function as a “tech trust team” that ensures the models conform to social norms and legal requirements while still delivering maximum business value.

Second, because there is no cure-all for the broad spectrum of AI risks, organizations must apply an informed risk-prioritization plan as the initial step in an effective, dynamically updated AI risk-management approach anchored in both legal guidance and technical best practices. mckinsey.com

Over 4 in 5 Voters Want Congress to Prioritize Protection of Online Data
As more states introduce and consider their own data privacy bills, public support for Congress to pass a national standard is holding strong, with 83 percent of voters saying it should be a “top” or “important, but lower” congressional priority this year.

While Congress continues to punt on a conversation about a national framework, states have been taking matters into their own hands: at least 20 states have introduced their own privacy bills this calendar year alone. morningconsult.com

How malicious Office files and abused Windows privileges enable ransomware
Ransomware groups most often gain entry to Windows networks through malicious Office documents and then move laterally by abusing Windows privileges. Here's how to defend against both.

McAfee recently released research on the Cuba ransomware. These attackers have pivoted to leaking data to extort funds from the firms they are attacking. As is typical these days, the attackers had access to the network before they activated the ransomware. This allowed them to examine the network and review how best to attack the network.

The attackers used PowerShell commands to move laterally in the network. PowerShell was called from the SysWOW64 folder using the command Powershell -windowstyle hidden to hide it from the user. The ransomware looked for specific languages, for example Russian, to provide flexibility for the attacker. The attackers then reviewed what each workstation has access to and the last connection to each workstation to gain more targets. The attackers also used the SeDebugPrivilege process to elevate privileges. The attack sequence disabled certain services including ones related to SQL, email and other communication processes.

Ransomware: There's been a big rise in double extortion attacks as gangs try out new tricks
More and more ransomware gangs are adopting tactics around threatening to publish stolen data in an effort to force victims to pay.

There's been a big rise in the number of ransomware gangs that threaten to release information stolen from the victims if they don't pay the ransom for the decryption key required to restore their network.

The idea behind these 'double extortion' ransomware attacks is that even if the victim organization believes it can restore its network without giving into the ransom demands of cyber criminals – which regularly cost millions of dollars in Bitcoin – the threat of sensitive information about employees or customers being exposed could still push victims to giving into the blackmail, and paying the ransom.

Even then, there's no guarantee that the cyber criminals behind the ransomware attack will delete the stolen data – they could exploit it down the line, or sell it onto other crooks on dark web forums.

The ransomware gangs that are most successful with double extortion attacks are those that first adopted it in their attacks, such as Revil, Maze, Netwalker, and DoppelPaymer, but others have followed in their footsteps and are finding plenty of success in 2021.

Groups like Conti and Egregor have become most prolific over the course of this year – with the report pointing out how the latter group has allegedly gained success by recruiting members of other ransomware gangs, including Maze, which supposedly shut down in November last year.

The recruitment of authors of other ransomware operations indicates how this particular type of malware has developed into a competitive market.

Ultimately, double extortion techniques have become so common amongst ransomware gangs because the attacks work and many organizations are unfortunately giving into ransom demands as cyber criminals in this space get more persistent and more aggressive. zdnet.com

Hundreds of Millions of Dell Computers Potentially Vulnerable to Attack

Hundreds of millions of Dell laptops, notebooks, and tablets are at risk of compromise from a set of five high-severity flaws that have been undetected since at least 2009. The flaws allow an attacker who already has some level of initial access on a system to escalate privileges and gain kernel level access on it. darkreading.com

SmileDirectClub: Attack Taking Big Bite Out of Revenue
SEC Filing Predicts $10 Million to $15 Million Impact

SmileDirectClub, which sells teeth-straightening appliances, expects that a recent cyberattack, which disrupted the manufacturing of its products, will take a $10 million to $15 million bite out of its second-quarter revenue.

Nashville, Tennessee-based SmileDirectClub, in an 8-K filing with the Security and Exchange Commission, says that it experienced a systems outage caused by a cybersecurity incident on April 14, which it expects to result in a cut in revenue for the second quarter ending June 30.

"While it is too early to assess the full impact of the incident on the second quarter of 2021, the company now expects second quarter 2021 revenue to be approximately $195 million - $200 million," the SEC filing notes. "These estimates reflect an approximately $10 million - $15 million revenue impact in the quarter from the cyberattack and the associated downtime in treatment planning and manufacturing."

Despite insurance coverage, the incident may have a "material impact" on the company's overall financial results for the quarter, the report adds. In its SEC filing, however, the company notes it was "able to successfully block the attack" and that it paid no ransom. govinfosecurity.com

The Battle to Get Cannabis Charges Expunged

As more states legalize marijuana, people with drug convictions want their records cleared
Sixteen states and the District of Columbia have legalized recreational marijuana over the last nine years, and industry advocates have applauded measures to de-stigmatize the substance and bring major revenue to state coffers.

But for people with lingering drug convictions like Michael, the news has raised more questions about what legalization means for their criminal records.

Currently in Virginia, “you have to go through all these hoops and loopholes to actually have an expungement,” Michael said. This may soon change. Like many other states that recently legalized marijuana, Virginia lawmakers included provisions in their legislation that over several years will allow for the automatic expungement of certain marijuana convictions, meaning people like Michael may one day see their records cleared without having to petition to do so.

Such measures signal a broader effort by lawmakers to right the wrongs of the war on drugs, a decades-long campaign by federal and state governments to crack down on use of illegal drugs that also helped incarceration balloon in the U.S. States have begun to legalize substances like marijuana that have disproportionately imprisoned Black and brown Americans over the last 50 years, affecting their access to employment, education and housing.

Racial justice advocates argue that state legislatures should not consider legalization bills unless they include proposals to help people easily expunge their records, as well as eliminate some of the barriers to entry Americans of color face when looking for work in the cannabis industry.

But just as states did not legalize recreational marijuana overnight, the lingering effects of the war on drugs are not likely to quickly disappear. pbs.org

Equity in the Cannabis Industry
Aiming for equity, D.C. may reserve some medical cannabis licenses for ex-inmates with drug convictions
The D.C. Council on Tuesday will consider legislation that reserves some new medical marijuana business licenses for people who were previously incarcerated for drug-related offenses — the latest effort by city lawmakers to bolster equity in the expanding industry.

The bill, introduced by Council member Robert White (D-At Large), comes as Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) is considering legislation passed last month that allows people with felony convictions to work at medical dispensaries, cultivation centers or testing labs. The council unanimously approved that legislation, which also makes it legal for people with felony convictions to own and operate medical cannabis businesses if they haven’t been convicted of certain crimes within three years of filing an application.

White says his bill goes a step further by instructing the Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration, which oversees the medical cannabis program, to reserve at least one dispensary license, one cultivation center license and one testing lab license for businesses that are majority-owned by people who were previously incarcerated for drug crimes whenever new licenses are next approved.

“We have seen the significant disparity in terms of convictions and sentencing, particularly for people of color, for drug-related crimes,” White said. “This [bill] makes sure the people who are most impacted by the failed war on drugs, and the significant disparities we see in our criminal justice system, aren’t completely left out of what is now a multibillion-dollar industry in this country.” cannabisbusinessexecutive.com
 

Cannabis Sales Record in Mass.
Massachusetts sets marijuana sales records around 4/20 holiday

Recreational sector surpasses $1.5 billion in total sales

Recreational cannabis stores in the state have now sold more than $1.5 billion of pot products since their debut in November 2018, according to new data released by the Cannabis Control Commission, passing the milestone just before the traditional “4/20″ stoner holiday observed on April 20.

The sector also set an all-time single-day sales record on April 17, the Saturday before 4/20, when the roughly 140 pot shops in Massachusetts sold more than $5.04 million worth of cannabis buds, edibles, vapes, and other products. That surpassed the previous high-water mark of nearly $4.77 million set on April 2, the Friday before Easter. bostonglobe.com

Unintended Consequences of the E-Commerce Boom
Editorial: E-commerce pollution is choking Southern California communities
Since the 1980s, Moreno Valley and other inland cities have become hosts to sprawling repositories for goods. Developers were drawn to the area for its cheap land, its proximity to rail lines and highways, and the easy drive from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. In the last decade, as trade and e-commerce increased, the Inland Empire has quickly transformed into a goods-movement mecca, adding nearly 175 million square feet of industrial space since 2010. Amazon alone has built 19 facilities in the area.

Now, after years of unfettered growth in the logistics industry, the South Coast Air Quality Management District is considering a first-of-its-kind rule to reduce the pollution associated with warehouses. Although the air district cannot regulate trucks directly — the state and federal government set the emissions standards — the region can use its authority to regulate the facilities that are magnets for trucks. It’s just never done so. That makes the proposed rule, which the air district will take up this week, especially significant.

If approved, the rule would apply to almost 3,000 large warehouses in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. The operators of those warehouses would be required to select from a menu of pollution-cutting measures, such as investing in zero-emission trucks and electric fork lifts, installing solar panels and providing chargers for electric vehicles. The number of measures required would be determined by the number of diesel truck trips to their warehouses.

Facilities could reduce their obligation by persuading cargo companies to transport their goods in clean trucks. Alternatively, warehouse operators could pay a fee that would be used to subsidize the purchase of clean trucks. Either way, the effect would be more clean trucks on the road sooner than would otherwise be required under state and federal laws. That would help reduce smog-forming emissions and toxic particles across the region but especially in the neighborhoods closest to warehouses, ports and other goods movement centers.

Naturally, businesses across the logistics industry are lining up in opposition to the proposal. Warehouse operators have objected, saying they have no control over the independently owned trucks that pick up and drop off cargo at their facilities. That’s true in some respects, which is why the regulation is designed to give warehouse many different ways to reduce emissions. latimes.com

COVID Safety Violations at Amazon Warehouse
Amazon warehouse in Rialto fined $41,000 for coronavirus safety violations
The California agency that oversees workplace safety fined Amazon.com Inc. $41,000 for failing to record COVID-19 infections among employees at a Rialto facility and to generally protect workers there against potential exposure to the virus. It’s the second round of fines the state agency has levied against the e-commerce giant during the pandemic.

After a months-long inspection that began in October, investigators with the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, or Cal/OSHA, found that LGB7, an Amazon fulfillment center in Rialto, didn’t implement adequate physical distancing, face coverings and physical barriers such as plexiglass screens that would help block infectious particles.

The citation, issued Monday, also says Amazon failed to record 217 COVID-19 infections among employees from April to October 2020. State occupational health and safety laws require employers to document all workplace illnesses and injuries in a record called Log 300 that is supposed to be available to workers on request. latimes.com
