Pasadena Officer Shot by Fellow Officer During "Horseplay," Chief Says
PASADENA, Calif. — The Pasadena Police Department has released a Critical Incident Video concerning an officer-involved shooting that occurred on September 7, 2025, inside the department's parking structure at 240 Ramona Street in Pasadena. The incident resulted in injuries to one Pasadena police officer, who has since recovered.
Pasadena Police Chief Gene Harris said the incident involved "unsafe, out-of-policy horseplay involving loaded firearms" between department personnel. Chief Harris stated that one officer was wounded as a result of the shooting and emphasized that the conduct depicted in the video did not reflect the department's standards or expectations.
The injured officer was transported for medical treatment and has since recovered from the injuries sustained during the incident. Pasadena police have not publicly identified the officers involved, and no members of the public were injured.
The case remains under investigation and review by the Pasadena Police Department and the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

Fell into a rabbit hole regarding the Gifted and Talented programs in elementary school
Posted by boxcarbarney on 6/11/26 at 2:15 pm
There's a conspiracy theory that the Gifted and Talented programs in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s were not meant to provide advanced education, but were actually covert CIA or government screening and conditioning projects designed to identify children with latent psychic abilities, high-level pattern recognition, or remote-viewing potential.
People who were in these programs note that they all have a freckle on their left arm, and some sort of scar or divot on their forehead, and claim that they have repressed memories from the testing
The freckle is from some sort of injection, likely a tracking device.
The forehead scar is from a medical intervention that's tied to erasing memories, or maybe sensory testing.
The theories often surface as former students piece together fragmented childhood memories. Proponents of the theory typically point to several shared experiences:
-They remember being give a mysterious Pink Drink during testing that they believe was some sort of drug
- They report taking unusual exams involving headphones with clanking audio, Zener cards, mirror-drawing, and ESP experiments
- They do not remember the actual curriculum or daily activities of their GATE classes. Claiming that their memories were altered or erased.
- They recall mysterious adults in suits quietly observing the classrooms without ever speaking, or being taken on unrecorded field trips with covered windows.
Here's a quick clip about it
I was in a type of gifted and talented program in elementary school. And I do remember some of these things.
I checked last night, and I have the arm freckle and a scar on my head that has been there as long as I can remember :wha: .

Anna Mills, known online as @annamillsxo23, helped renew interest in a previously-floated conspiracy theory by posting several videos to social media sharing the worksheets and assignments she was given when she was young — leaving many of her followers with questions.
In one TikTok clip, Mills flipped through a binder of her classwork and showed off some of the assignments she was given as a child in the 90s.
"The stuff I found in there — I'm like, what were you training us for?" Mills questioned in a TikTok video.
Then, as now, students across the country who demonstrate high cognitive abilities and pass a series of tests are taught separate lessons which do not fall into the standard curriculum.
Many of the worksheets Mills shared dealt with cracking codes, plotting graphs — as well as learning sign language, Morse code and Russian.
Nearly all of the lessons were focused on creative problem-solving. A surprising number mentioned aliens or Russian culture.
This has led some to claim that the public school program was connected to the CIA's Gateway Program.
The federal program was developed in the 1980s to instruct and train people "in the art of switching perceptual modes, the art of becoming more conscious of one's particular inner resources, inner abilities and most of all, of one's inner guidance."
It was used to explore the limitations of human consciousness using sound, meditation and other techniques.

I love both the book and the Verhoeven movie for different reasons.
Hopefully Blomkamp can stay close to the source material - with power suits - without turning it into a CGI/AI clusterfrick. Or trying to make a mockery of fascism but failing, like Verhoeven did.

An arcade recently opened in Kenner (brah). I told my wife if we're going to it, it better be soon, because once a certain segment of society realizes that the place offers a $20 play all day deal they'll leave their kids there for hours upon hours, which will ruin it for everyone else.

The boss is having surgery today. He didn't tell any of us, for some reason, so I'm blowing up his phone all morning until his wife answers and let's me know. Tremendous pain in the arse.

Yeah, these "teen takeovers" are all training.
The social media algorithms are being fine tuned, and these public nuisances will be weaponized.
So at the push of a button, the ones behind the scenes can summon a mob and deploy them wherever they want.
This is how most Color Revolutions start; with the youth.
Or its just in their nature to act this way. I dunno.
