Photo Sequence Captures Tense Moments At Walnut Creek Crash Scene Thursday
Things ramped up quickly at the scene of that multi-car crash and resultant scuffle at N. Main and Parkside in Walnut Creek today. One of our photographers happened to catch this sequence as officers struggled to subdue a man suspected of causing the crash. At one point he appeared to be going for one of the officer’s guns, the officer instructing him to “quit trying to grab my gun.”

I am so thankful for our law enforcement officers!
The liberal’s defund the police movement was wrong and it caused the rest of us to be less safe, and emboldened the criminals. We saw it play out.
Hard to blame ‘defunding’ for crime when the funding never actually went away. Contra Costa didn’t defund police, the budgets held or went up. What you’re repeating isn’t what happened, it’s what got repeated.
Contra Costa didn’t ‘defund’ police. The Sheriff’s budget alone is over $300 million today and growing, not shrinking.
In fact, right after all the ‘defund’ headlines in 2020, the county added deputies and expanded staffing, not cut them.
So if funding went up, staffing went up, and services were maintained…
what exactly got ‘defunded’?
Walnut Creek didn’t defund anything.
The city’s budget went from about $80M to over $100M since 2020. They added officers, expanded patrol, and voters even passed a tax increase to fund more police staffing. That’s not opinion, that’s the budget.
Thank you Jim for that common sense answer. It only take a bit of searching to find the truth.
