“This Kingdom” is a heart-wrenching documentary short film by Eliot Rausch, whose previous documentary “Last Minutes with Oden” was just named Best Documentary and Best Video at the 2010 Vimeo Awards. “This Kingdom” captures a short moment in the life of Brian Wolke, his wife, his young child and their current obstacle in life. Living in Compton, California, Brian has got no work and is forced to move out of the family’s home, shifting all of their belongings into storage.
This is such a terribly heartbreaking film; you have to feel for these people and what they are going through right now. In our present times, many people are finding themselves in the same position as that of Brian and his family, so interest this film should be very high.
This piece includes a number of high-resolution color photographs, as well as the very emotionally engaging short film.

LONG BEACH - Long Beach police had a record drug bust Tuesday, with three arrests, after a yearlong investigation into distribution of narcotics in Long Beach.
Detectives were led to two locations, one in Long Beach and one in Compton. A search of both locations yielded drugs with more than $10 million in street value, police said.
According to police reports, 126 pounds of methamphetamine were found at the Long Beach location, near Magnolia and Pacific Coast Highway, and 13 pounds of cocaine were found at the Compton location, near Santa Fe Avenue and Rosecrans Boulevard.
Because the investigation is ongoing, the suspects are being identified only as two Long Beach residents, a 40-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman, and a 46-year-old male resident of Compton.
The Long Beach Police Department encourages the community to call and report drug activity to its Narcotics Hotline, at 562-570-7125. Callers may remain anonymous or leave their contact information if they would like a detective to call them back.LONG BEACH - Long Beach police had a record drug bust Tuesday, with three arrests,... more

An attorney for the family of a 16-year-old boy by shot by a sheriff's deputy in Compton says the teen did not brandish a weapon and posed no threat.
Attorney John E. Sweeney told the Los Angeles Times on Monday that Avery Cody Jr. initially complied with officers demands to stop and put his hands on the car, but ran for an unknown reason and was shot in the back.
Sheriff's Detective Steve Blagg said only that Cody had a loaded handgun when he was shot by a deputy Sunday. He would not respond to Sweeney's comments and said the shooting is still under investigation.
Cody was a high school student at Zinsmeyer Academy in Long Beach, Sweeney said. He had just finished eating with a friend at McDonald's when he was shot.An attorney for the family of a 16-year-old boy by shot by a sheriff's deputy in... more
