I live by the corner of a three-way stop sign and a one-way street and I’m giving serious thought to filing a complaint with the police department so they set up some kind of trap to catch people blowing through the stop signs. I’ve had to yank my dog out of the way at least two or three times in the crosswalk so we avoid getting hit by cars not stopping. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t cross until no one is at the intersection now. I watched just for the hell of it yesterday and of the six cars I watched, five barely slowed down and the sixth slowed down but never even tried to stop. Something has to be done.

There was a fight between staff and patrons. Apparently the staff cut off a group of patrons and they didn’t take it well. Fight spilled out into the street where an SUV was idling on Grove. Someone jumped in the SUV and attempted to run over the group fighting. They hit a couple people and then started doing donuts in the Grove/Grand intersection. Sped up and down grand a few times and while trying to drive away reversed straight into the building. A bunch of cars on grand seem to have been sideswiped but I have not heard an update on whether they caught the guy. Insane.

Live across the street & turned on the police scanner after the action. Dispatch didn't come through until 11:07 (a couple minutes after an ambulance & ~7 minutes after this post ) & then it was described as a fight.

Cops show 11:10 & it's not until 11:40 that the situation is clarified to list two pedestrians struck as well as structural damage to Taqueria & it's reclassified as an aggravated assault, detective dispatched.
