SFist Blotter

The Daly City vice squad's running sting operations targeting immigrant-owned stores, where sales clerks who don't speak English have been selling beer to underage kids. The Daly City police department is unsympathetic to the clerks' claims (through interpreters) that they don't know how to read the IDs they're produced, saying that the clerks should have been instructed that you can't sell to anyone with the "I'm Not 21" red stripe running down the side of their license. To be fair, the cops had sent all the local stores a notice saying that they were going to be sending underage decoys in to try to buy beer.

Weird. A foot-high pile of feathers was found scattered over the block of 2nd Avenue and Clement. Authorities are baffled. They got one of those street sweepers to wet down the feathers so they could sweep 'em up.

The other day, Matt Drudge released footage that he claimed was from an Oakland sideshow, where a woman was reputedly beaten to death for talking to the police. The Oakland Tribune has since figured out that the footage is actually from a 2002 DVD called, "World's Wildest Street Fights Vol. 1." The Oakland PD remains interested in hearing if anyone has any information about the footage, but Drudge is now no longer returning phone calls.
