LOCO ignored this HCSO lawsuit locally but suddenly it is news a month and a half later because it is filed in federal court?

 

I reported on the claim in September 2024. I also checked if Dickson arrest records. Just because Benjamin Mainzer filed a lawsuit last Friday, the basic facts do not change. Lost Coast Outpost reporting months later and just regurgitating content from the filing with no original work. Ryan Burns knows how to look up court cases. Takes less than a minute to look up and see how many Humboldt court cases Dickson has and google arrest records or warrants.

If they are able to obtain footage, will they release it all of it to the public to see? LOCO has already painted the deputies as the bad guys.

I am all for holding the County or HCSO powers  accountable but LOCO picked one case where the man flinging allegations is being called out O some of their commenters and their description of him helps HCSO. LOCO certainly has the money, time and resources yet they pursue one lawsuit in a blue moon where they don't have to put in any work except file PRAs and have PIOS and lawyers do the work. 

Going after Rob Arkey and HCSO front line deputies is LOCO's go to when they need to posture and  pretend play like they are media uncovering some big secret. When they actually do investigative reporting and go after the good ole boys where it makes a difference in the decades of power structure in Humboldt, let me know. There are better lawsuits if LOCO wanted to investigate excessive force or police brutality. That would require actual journalism and developing original leads. LOCO should stick to the mindless fluff they that they usually regurtiate on their site which their 3 or 4 groupies can digest.

Blue Lake Rancheria "is minority owner of the Outpost's parent company, Lost Coast Communications, Inc." according to the disclosures they post on their site. Not only did p post the press release before LOCO. It isn't even on LOCO as of 8:11 p.m. today. Blue Rake Rancheria is too petty to send press releases to me even after I was the only one to regularly and in depth cover the Kade Chandler court case which resulted in the tragic deaths of Savannah Kiana Kindred and Kendra Paige Leialoha Lewis.
