Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

In what could be the strangest DUI suspect we've seen all summer, RMG News caught this compelling video which shows that even if you only have one good arm and two prosthetic legs, the CHP does not play when it comes to drivers who make them chase them for 15 minutes on the freeway.

RMG says, "A man driving a Ford van erratically refused to stop when Los Angeles police officers attempted to pull him over on the eastbound Santa Monica (10) Freeway near Hoover Street. CHP officers picked up the chase on the southbound Harbor (110) Freeway. The chase ended on the eastbound Glenn Anderson (105) Freeway near Atlantic Avenue when the driver, whose name was withheld, pulled onto the shoulder of the freeway."
