We did a little something different this week and invited the entire coaching staff for the 2022 NCAA Champion UCLA Women's Soccer team. Head Coach Margeuritte Aozosa had a storied career as a player at Santa Clara and then great success as an Assistant Coach at Stanford before taking over the Bruins, and winning a championship in her first year was quite an accomplishment. In the podcast we break down how she and assistant coaches Molly Poletto and Gof Boyoko work together, share ideas, run training sessions, manage parent and player expectations, and much more. We also discuss the incredible NCAA final where UCLA came back in the final minutes and won in OT. It is a fascinating inside look into how a coaching staff functions in a high performance culture.   The Champion Teammate is Available for Pre-Order!

The NBA draft combine player list was revealed on Tuesday and a pair of Gonzaga Bulldogs, Drew Timme and Julian Strawther, were invited. We discuss what each of them can do to improve their draft stock, like Andrew Nembhard did last year, and become Mark Few's next NBA success story. We also discuss the four Zags who were not invited to the combine - Anton Watson, Malachi Smith, Steele Venters, and Rasir Bolton - and what it means for each of them and for Gonzaga. We close out the show discussing a pair of WCC alumni who were also invited to the combine, Santa Clara's Brandin Podziemski and Pepperdine's Maxwell Lewis, and how this helps shape the growing narrative that the WCC is a premier non-P6 basketball conference.

It was bound to happen sometime. LAFC suffers its first loss of the 2023 MLS campaign, falling to San Jose at Levi's Stadium, 2-1, behind a brace from Cristian Espinoza. Hear all about it on Episode 247.With Filly (and Panda) in the stands, LAFC traveled up to Santa Clara, CA to the home of Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers to face the San Jose Earthquakes. LAFC was behind the eight-ball early, as an 8' goal from Espinoza gave the home crowd something to froth over. LAFC would respond behind, who else, Denis Bouanga, who pounced on a rebound to slot his 8th of the year past the San Jose keeper. In what was a relatively tame effort from San Jose, a moment was all they needed, and they found it in the 81'. Denil Maldonado committed a clear foul on a streaking Jeremy Ebobisse in the box, gifting a PK to Espinoza and the lead to San Jose. LAFC couldn't find an equalizer, and just like that, the unbeaten run to start the year was over. LAFC falls, 2-1. Also on this episode, Filly is staying in the Cabin in the Woods, Scarf bemoans the coverage on Apple TV, and a player on San Jose does his best Christian Ramirez impression. Enjoy Episode 247!

Immediately after my wife left me, she cleaned out the bank account (almost $40,000.) She used the cash to buy jewelry, and also got a lawyer (who sued me.) Unfortunately I lost the case, and The County of Santa Clara forced me to pay $3,500 a month to my wife in alimony and child support. This comes after I had lost my job 2 months earlier, and had no good job prospects. She then proceeded to kidnap my daughter, and moved to Germany. It took me 4 months and about $50,000 (which I'm still paying back), along with 5 lawyers, the State Department, and the Center for Missing and Exploited Children to get her back. Since then, she has made my life a living hell both socially and financially. === I tell you this short story to highlight the serious consequences of a divorce.  Now, I'm not saying every divorce ends like this, but with 40 to 50% of all American marriages terminating, there's a potential possibility it could happen to you. And if this is something that scares you, then read on. In today's episode, you'll discover how to avoid the trauma that happens with a divorce. I also reveal the three stages every single marriage goes through.  The majority of society know about Stage 1 and Stage 2 (but are blissfully unaware of Stage 3.) And Stage 3 is the one you need to know if your marriage is on the brink of a rocky divorce. Listen now! Show Highlights Include: 40-50% of first marriages end in divorce. Child support, crippling alimony payouts, and heartbreak. Here's how to avoid a traumatic divorce (4:24) Caught your wife cheating with a coworker? Here's why that doesn't necessarily mean a divorce (and why it actually could be a long, and passionate marriage) (10:59) How to have a long lasting marriage by understanding the three stages every single marriage goes (11:55) Why exciting, passionate sex in a marriage has very little to do with physical looks, but more so to do with your psychology (28:18) In a bad fight with your wife or girlfriend? Here are five losing “strategies” that could push your marriage closer towards divorce (36:37) Why good girls have so much sexual chemistry with bad boys (and why it's partially her fault) (38:11) Does your neediness, fear, or insecurity sabotage your success with women?

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending April 8th, 2023... reports show a slowly weakening job market, what could be a great year for single-family rentals, and a list of the top metros for home value growth and stability.    Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.   Economic News   We begin with economic news from this past week. Although the job market remains strong, the latest reports show it is softening. For the week of March 25th, jobless claims hit 228,000. It's the ninth week in a row that they've topped 200,000. They had bottomed out last fall when they dropped to a 53-year low of 182,000. They continued around the 200,000 level for several months and have been slowly rising since February. Government revisions also show that claims during the first part of the year were higher than previously reported. MarketWatch economists say that's probably due to corporate layoffs that are just now showing up in the jobless data. (1)   Job openings are also declining. They fell to a 21-month low in February, which is another sign that the job market is softening. Listings dropped from 10.6 million in January to 9.9 million in February. Openings are now down to about 1.7 openings for each unemployed worker. They were at 1.9 openings or each unemployed worker previously. Bill Adams of Comerica told MarketWatch: “The labor market is still very hot but the big drop in job openings is a sign the labor market is cooling in general.” (2)   A third report on job growth shows that U.S. companies added 236,000 new jobs in March. That's a sign of strength and resiliency, and probably not what the Fed would like to hear. Those new jobs helped lower the unemployment rate from 3.6% to 3.5%. Wage growth was slower however. It's come down from 4.6% in February to 4.2% in March. (3)   A report on construction spending shows it was down slightly in February. The Commerce Department says it fell .1% to $1.844 trillion. Single-family construction spending was down 1.8% while multi-family spending was up 1.4%. Year-over-year, multifamily is up 22.2%. Single-family is up 21.4%. (4)   Mortgage Rates   Mortgage rates dipped slightly this last week. Freddie Mac says the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was down 4 basis points to 6.28%. The 15-year was down 8 points to 5.64%. (5)   In other news making headlines…   Single-Family Rental Market Remains Strong   Some parts of the housing market may be in for a rough ride this year, but the single-family rental market isn't one of them. A new report from Attom projected single-family rental yields for 212 counties with a population of at least 100,000. Rental yields are calculated by dividing the annualized gross rent by the purchase price. According to Attom, rentals in those 212 counties will see a 7.5% yield this year. That's up from 6.7% last year. (6)   Attom says that SFR rents are growing in over 90 of the counties analyzed, so those counties will be the most desirable. Three of the top five counties for the biggest upside in rent yields are in Florida including counties for Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach. California's Orange and Santa Clara counties are the other two. There's a lot of data in this report so it's worth digging deeper if you're deciding where to buy a rental property this year. You'll find a link to the report in the show notes.   Texas Shows Strength for Overall Housing Market   Another report on the U.S. housing market lists the top 20 cities for growth and stability, and 12 of them are in Texas. The Smart Asset study compared home value data for 400 metros between 1998 and 2022. It then calculated the growth rate from that data. (7)   The Austin, Texas, area was In the number one spot for growth and stability followed by Midland, Texas, in the Western part of the state. Boulder and Fort Collins, Colorado, took the third and fourth spots. The Kennewick-Richland part of Washington State was fifth. Rapid City South Dakota took the sixth position. Then it's back to Texas with the Odessa area in West Texas as seventh and the Dallas area as eighth. San Antonio was in the ninth spot, and Houston right after that. Texas also dominated the next ten top cities as well with six more metros showing the strongest growth and stability.   The report also shows the worst cities for growth and stability with Flint Michigan topping that list. I won't list those cities, but you'll find a link to the report in the show notes.   Will Commercial Real Estate Go Belly Up?   While there has been a lot of concern that commercial real estate is going to implode because of maturing debt and the inability to refinance at high interest rate, CNBC published a story with the title: “The coming commercial real estate crash that may never happen.” This story argues that only a quarter of office-building loans will need to be refinanced in the next year.  A quarter of office-buildings? That sounds like a LOT to me.  CNBC also reports that industrial, retail, and hotels are on solid ground. (8) Kevin Fagan of Moody's Analytics says: “There likely will be issues but it's more of a typical down cycle.” Whether it's a typical down cycle or a rare one, losing money is never good for investors and is usually a result of aggressive underwriting in a bull market. According to The RealDeal, distress has started to rear its ugly head in the Houston market. Arbor Realty Trust just foreclosed last week on four low-income multifamily properties in Houston, valued at $229 million. The portfolio includes Heights at Post Oak, Redford Apartments, Reserve at Westwood and Timber Ridge Apartments, all of which were purchased between August 2021 and April 2022. (10) The RealDeal says Arbor's foreclosure is "indicative of the current state of the market, where higher interest rates, regional banking turmoil, and slowing rent growth continue to negatively impact multifamily operators. Investors decreased their purchase of apartment buildings by about $40 billion in the first quarter of 2023, representing a 74% decline in sales from the first quarter of last year, according to CoStar Group.   That's it for today.

Coming into the offseason the Seahawks faced questions about improving their run defense and whether or not they would stick with Geno Smith or pursue a quarterback with their early draft pick. Smith's contract paired with Drew Lock's return suggests that the most likely outcome is to continue to find pieces to win with Geno. Being in a similar situation didn't stop them from pursuing a quarterback in 2012. However, going for top prospect on defense, bolstering the offensive line and getting another offensive weapon helps set a more focused plan to compete in relatively weak conference in 2023. We go through some scenarios regarding how the Seahawks could approach the draft and talk about why the team is putting in the effort to scout some of the top quarterbacks in the class. Adam is certain that Anthony Richardson would need multiple seasons to develop into a potential quarterback. Similarly, Trey Lance is trying to work back into the starting lineup in Santa Clara, but he'll have to get reps over Sam Darnold if Brock Purdy isn't going to be ready for the 2023 season. In the second half of the show, we talk about some of the NFL's latest rule changes and one rule they opted to remain unchanged. In Do Better, we talk about the shift away from allowing people to work from home and a recent mock draft that may have questionable motives.

“In the long run, we need all forms of ag(riculture)— they all play their particular role. The more forms of ag we have, the greater the food supply; the greater the diversity of the food supply; and the greater the options we're providing. So at the end of the day, that allows the consumers to make the choice and not have the choice forced on them based on the limitations of the agricultural system.” —Rick Vanzura   Food security is a pressing global issue that requires concerted action from multiple sectors to solve. In many cases, communities are far away from reliable sources of fresh, healthy, and affordable food. This distance can lead to a number of long-standing barriers that prevent these communities from accessing the food they need. Fortunately, modernized food systems have the potential to help in achieving sustainability in food production and consumption on a global scale.   Freight Farms is on a mission to create a global infrastructure of products and services so that people around the world can enjoy fresh and accessible food. Their use of Agriculture Technology yields plenty of benefits, especially in urban vertical farms. By utilizing this process, their network of farmers can produce larger yields with smaller energy inputs, while maintaining a scalable and easy-to-replicate design that is also ideal for both small and large businesses.   This week, Justine and Freight Farms CEO, Rick Vanzura discuss how this modernized farming method impacts the farmers, entrepreneurs, consumers, and ultimately the planet. They also talk about how much space, resources, and technological know-how is needed to start your own farm; how to customize your own crops; common mistakes in ag-tech farming, and much more!  Meet Rick: Rick is the CEO of Freight Farms, a sustainable, hyper-local, fully traceable growing solution that uses no soil and minimal water. He has spent the last 25 years in President/C-level roles at major consumer and tech brands, including Fortune 5 companies and start-ups.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Tuesday, March 28th, 2023. We start today with the heartbreaking situation that unfolded in Nashville TN, Three children and three staff members were gunned down at a private Christian school in Nashville on Monday before the shooter, a heavily armed 28-year-old woman, was killed by police, authorities said. The shooting unfolded at The Covenant School on Burton Hills Boulevard where officers "engaged" the attacker, described by Metropolitan Nashville Police Chief John Drake as a woman who appears to be a former student at the school. Nashville School Shooting: Police chief provides update- Play 0:05-2:42 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/school-shooting-tennessee-leaves-multiple-injured-shooter-dead-officia-rcna76841 Shooting at Nashville Christian school leaves at least 3 children and 3 adults dead, officials say The shooter was identified as Audrey Hale, a Nashville resident, three law enforcement officials briefed on the matter told NBC News. The shooter was killed on the school's second floor, a police spokesperson said. She had two "assault-type rifles and a handgun," according to the official. Students of the school, which serves preschool students through sixth graders, were being bused to Woodmont Baptist Church, two miles away, to be reunited with their parents. Police said they first got calls about the shooter at 10:13 a.m. CT and Nashville firefighters first reported their personnel were responding to an “active aggressor” at 10:39 a.m. CT. "The police department response was swift," police spokesperson Don Aaron told reporters. Five police officers came upon the shooter and two opened fire on her, Aaron said. The shooter entered the school through a "side entrance" on the first floor, he added. It was not clear how the shooter gained access to the school. One officer was hurt by shattered glass, officials said. The names and ages of the victims have not been released. The chief said the families of all six victims had been notified. Please lift that school, and those affected families in your prayers. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/education/republicans-introduce-resolution-scrap-student-forgiveness Republicans announce resolution to scrap Biden student loan forgiveness plan Rep. Bob Good (R-VA) and Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) announced legislation Monday to scrap President Joe Biden's student loan forgiveness program. Under the resolution, Congress will express disapproval of the student loan cancellation plan to overturn the program, which is stuck in limbo amid a court battle. The resolution will need a simple majority to clear the Senate and is expected to draw a veto from Biden. On the Senate side, Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Joni Ernst (R-IA) are backing the Congressional Review Act resolution alongside Cassidy, the ranking member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee. Biden unveiled the student loan forgiveness plan last August to much fanfare from progressives. Under the initiative, borrowers with an annual income of $125,000 or less can have up to $10,000 in federal student loans canceled, while those who received Pell Grants during their schooling can have up to $20,000 wiped out. The program stems from the 2003 HEROES Act, which grants the executive power to relieve student loan debt in times of national emergency or war. Critics have pointed out that Biden deemed the COVID-19 pandemic was "over" in a 60 Minutes interview last year. The pandemic was used as justification for using the HEROES Act. Last November, a lower court in Texas halted the program amid pending legal challenges. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on the program's legality by June or July. The White House says it has amassed roughly 26 million applications and approved 16 million for relief, but cancellation has not yet taken place amid the legal wrangling. Biden used his veto power for the first time last week to reject a resolution that would've nixed a Labor Department rule permitting retirement plans to take into account environmental, social, and governance considerations in investment decisions. https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/fdic-first-citizens-bank-reached-deal-purchase-silicon-valley-bank FDIC says First Citizens Bank has reached deal to purchase Silicon Valley Bank The Silicon Valley Bank finally has a buyer. On Sunday, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) announced First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company of Raleigh, North Carolina entered a purchase agreement for all deposits and loans of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association. "The 17 former branches of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association, will open as First–Citizens Bank & Trust Company on Monday, March 27, 2023," the FDIC said in a statement. "Customers of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association, should continue to use their current branch until they receive notice from First–Citizens Bank & Trust Company that systems conversions have been completed to allow full–service banking at all of its other branch locations," the statement continued. Depositors of the Santa Clara, California-located bank will automatically become depositors of First–Citizens Bank & Trust Company, according to the statement, and all deposits will be assumed and insured by First–Citizens Bank & Trust Company, up to the insurance limit. The FDIC said: "As of March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association, had approximately $167 billion in total assets and about $119 billion in total deposits. Today's transaction included the purchase of about $72 billion of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association's assets at a discount of $16.5 billion." In addition, approximately $90 billion in securities and other assets will remain in the receivership for disposition by the FDIC. According to the statement, the FDIC and First–Citizens Bank & Trust Company entered into a "loss–share transaction" on all commercial loans it purchased from Silicon Valley Bank (SVB). The FDIC estimated SVB's failure cost approximately $20 billion, although a cost will be more accurately determined when the FDIC terminates the receivership, it said. The FDIC created Silicon Valley Bridge Bank after the California Department of Financial Protection & Innovation closed Silicon Valley Bank on Friday, March 10. All of the deposits—both insured and uninsured—were transferred to the bridge bank. Alps Precious Metals Group THE PAST WEEK HAS BROUGHT SOME “EXCITEMENT” TO THE MARKETS. BANK RUNS. STOCK COLLAPSES.

As announced by the city of Lake Oswego's police department, they "conducted a human sex trafficking mission with the assistance of the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office, Oregon City Police, Milwaukie Police, and Sandy Police," on Thursday, March 23, 2023. "During the operation, decoys (law enforcement officers) were contacted by men who offered to pay money in exchange for the decoys to perform requested sexual acts," the department stated, going on to describe how the eight suspects allegedly agreed to meet with the supposed trafficking victims, and were subsequently "arrested and charged with the relevant crimes." Suspects Stephen R. Berry, Maximilien Aquitaine, Austin L. Olson, Vincent S. Namauleg, German D. Pascual, Jake R. Walt, and Erik J. Bjorman were all cited and released for Commercial Sexual Solicitation, officials said. However, according to the Lake Oswego Police Department, the assistant principal of Centennial High School in Gresham, Oregon was hit with additional charges. "Terrance A. Schloth (1/11/71) of Gresham, OR initially gave a false name and refused to identify himself," police stated. "As a result, he was lodged at the Clackamas County Jail in order to get a positive identification. He was charged for Commercial Sexual Solicitation (ORS 167.008) and the additional charge of Giving False Information to a Peace Officer in Connection with a Citation (ORS 162.385)." According to 52-year-old Schloth's LinkedIn page, he had been working in education for over 27 years, going from a Reynolds High School physical education teacher, to educational leader, to dean of students, and eventually serving as the assistant principal in 2014 before moving to the Centennial School District. Schloth was a progressive. His LinkedIn boasts of anti-bullying and restorative justice initiatives. According to his school profile, two of the accused administrator's children attend Centennial as well. The school district placed Schloth on administrative leave following his arrest, Conan Daily reported.

Over the years, Hank added more toilets. He decorated the bowls and tanks with artificial flowers. He put so much time and energy into the toilets that he began referring to them as “toilet gardens,” and later, as “art.” Town officials were not amused. They did everything in their power to stop him.  Then Brandi tells us about the death of Josephine Galbraith. For Josephine's family, her death was sad, but not shocking. The 76-year-old woman suffered from chronic back pain. She'd recently been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. She'd told her husband and children that she didn't want to continue living. But when Josephine died in an apparent suicide, a detective on the scene suspected she'd been murdered.    And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia.

Biden reiterated a statement from the FDIC and Treasury Department during public remarks Monday morning, telling reporters that the federal government would guarantee depositors at the banks access to their funds. He added that no such protection is being offered to the banks' investors, however. His administration has also fired the leadership at both banks. "No losses will be borne by the taxpayers," Biden emphasized. "Instead, the money will come from the fees that banks pay into the deposit insurance fund. Because of the actions that our regulators have already taken, every American should feel confident that their deposits will be there if and when they need them." Biden went on to call on Congress to pass legislation to "strengthen rules" on banks to prevent failures like SVB and Signature.The Santa Clara, California-based band collapsed last week and is now under the control of federal regulators. The SVB had been the 16th-largest bank in the U.S. prior to the bank run that led to its downfall. Anxious depositors rushed to withdraw their money over concern for the bank’s health, causing its collapse, which may serve as "an extinction-level event for startups," according to Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan. The Biden administration had earlier assured SVB depositors that they would have access to all of their funds on Sunday. The joint statement from the Treasury Department, Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) also emphasized that the action would come at no cost to US taxpayers. "Today we are taking decisive actions to protect the U.S. economy by strengthening public confidence in our banking system," the joint statement said. "This step will ensure that the U.S. banking system continues to perform its vital roles of protecting deposits and providing access to credit to households and businesses in a manner that promotes strong and sustainable economic growth." Biden delivered his Monday remarks in a short briefing before traveling to California, where he is set to announce the sale of nuclear submarines to Australia. https://dailycaller.com/2023/03/13/biden-desantis-florida-transgender-kids-sinful-national-law/ ‘Close To Sinful’: Biden Floats Possibility Of Nation-Wide Transgender Law President Joe Biden appeared to criticize Ron DeSantis on his handling of transgender youth and floated the possibility of a nation-wide transgender law in an interview clip released Monday. “What’s going on in Florida, is as my mother would say, ‘close to sinful.’ I mean, it’s just terrible what they’re doing,” Biden said while speaking with actor Kal Penn. Kal Penn previews interview with Biden, discusses guest-hosting "The Daily Show"-Play 2:12-2:56 DeSantis has led an administration-wide effort to ban sex change treatments for minors. He has said doctors should be sued for performing sex changes on children and suspended a state attorney refusing to adhere to the child sex change ban. DeSantis also requested public universities report how many students they treated for “gender dysphoria,” and in October, the Florida Board of Medicine voted to ban sex change surgeries and hormone therapy for children under 18. Dylan Mulvaney, a man who identifies as a woman and has garnered attention on social media for using hyper-feminine stereotypes, asked Biden in October if he thinks states should “have the right” to ban “gender-affirming health care.” “I don’t think any state or anybody should have the right to do that, as a moral question and a legal question,” Biden responded. “I just think it’s wrong,” Biden added. “I feel very, very strongly that you should have every single solitary right, including, including use of your gender identity bathroom in public.” https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/videos/women-now-binge-drinking-more-than-men-for-first-time-in-history-doctor-warns Women now binge drinking more than men for first time in history, doctor warns For the first time in history, women are outpacing men in binge drinking, which is a growing concern among health officials as overall drinking for young adults is on the rise. As the pandemic came to an end, they seem to be drinking more than ever. In 2020, during the pandemic, we saw a continuing decline in binge drinking among college-age students. Most were isolated or at home as classes moved online. Group activities or parties where drinking would be prevalent simply were not happening. “In 2021, there has been an uptick, particularly among women. Now it turns out on college campuses women are actually binge drinking more than men, for the first time in history,” said Dr. George F. Koob, director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Koob said while drinking overall was down during the pandemic, deaths associated with alcohol were up 25% for not just college students but the general population. Koob believes isolation contributed to mental health problems and substance abuse across the board. However, now we’re back. People are going to parties, and colleges and bars are open again. Restaurants are serving bottomless brunch, and wineries and breweries are ready to pour. “It’s what we call the alcohol deprivation effect. People tend to really rebound in drinking after a period of not drinking.” Koob said. “We are a little concerned that this spring and spring break is going to be a return to a good amount of binge drinking. I just want to caution everyone that when you start hitting the binge drinking level you start doing really bad things to your body.” So, where does this leave this new group of women who are binge drinking more than ever before? Koob said knowing what a standard drink is and your limit is important to taking care of your health. As social media trends encourage dangerous “hacks” to binge drinking, including the viral “BORGs” or “blackout rage gallons” which combine water, electrolytes, and vodka, TikTok is specifically pushing the misconception that this drink will keep you hydrated while drinking copious amounts of liquor. https://nypost.com/2023/03/12/fight-among-200-brawlers-at-louisiana-hs-ends-in-10-arrests/ Massive fight among 200 students, parents at Louisiana high school ends in 10 arrests An explosive fight at a Louisiana high school among nearly 200 students and parents ended with several cops injured and at least 10 arrests. Swarms of police officers responded early March 8 to a “major campus disturbance” at East Baton Rouge Readiness Alternative School, finding a loaded gun abandoned on the ground, WBRZ reported. Officials say one fight broke out and escalated, spilling out into the school’s courtyard and gym. By the time police arrived, there were about 200 people involved in brawls across the campus. Videos of the chaos taken inside the school’s gym show chairs getting tossed and students being detained by law enforcement. One shocking video shows a sheriff’s deputy forcefully hitting a student’s face into a brick wall. The officer was trying to arrest a 17-year-old student, authorities said. Police said the teen had punched the officer in the face and tried to bite him, which led to the aggressive encounter captured on video. The teen was among those charged with battery on an officer and resisting arrest. Officials have not yet determined what triggered the massive melee at the school, which enrolls students who’ve been previously suspended or expelled from other district schools. The NAACP released a statement Wednesday saying it was reviewing videos from the incident to decide if the aggressive police response captured on video was appropriate. The fight allegedly started with a small group of students but escalated into a larger clash involving parents and students fighting police as well. One witness told WBRZ the brawl erupted when a girl who wasn’t a student at the school and her mom showed up to fight another girl — and that it escalated from there. Students were allegedly locked inside the gym during the fight. One responding police officer sustained injuries including a broken hip and head lacerations. Also among those arrested were three students charged with battery on a police officer, a felony. Five other students were arrested for disturbing the peace, including an 18-year-old girl who was arrested on counts of unlawful disruption of the operation of a school and resisting arrest, and a 17-year-old girl hit with disturbing the peace and resisting arrest. All of those arrested were students between 15 and 18. None of the parents or other adults at the scene were taken into custody.
