Roundup
The following incidents were reported in the USC Dept. of Public Safety incident report summary between Saturday, Sept. 8 and Sunday, Sept 9.
Crimes against a person
at 8:52 p.m. on Sept. 9, a student reported that he was struck in the arm by a bottle that was thrown from Jefferson Boulevard and Orchard Street while he was walking near the location. The student did not know who might have thrown the bottle and did not desire criminal prosecution of the matter.
Crimes against property
at 8:22 p.m. on Sept. 9, DPS officers responded to a report of a suspect prowling bicycles near 2833 Menlo Ave., but were unable to locate him during a subsequent search of the area. An unsecured and unattended bike was recovered at the scene and turned in to DPS’s lost and found after the owner could not be located.
at 11:19 A.m. on Sept. 9, a student reported that he discovered his wallet was missing and subsequently learned that a suspect had used his ATM card to make an unauthorized withdrawal from his bank account.
Miscellaneous incidents
at 8:22 p.m. on Sept. 9, DPS officers responded to an intoxicated student who passed out on the ground near 30th Street and Orchard Avenue. The student was unresponsive when contacted by the officers, so an LAFD RA unit was requested. RA Unit #15 responded and examined the student, then transported her to Olympia Hospital for medical treatment.
at 11:43 p.m. on Sept. 8, DPS officers on routine patrol were flagged down by a non-USC male who complained of a loud party at 1150 30th St. The officers contacted the student hosting the party, who then turned off the music and moved his guests indoors without further incident.
The mere fact that USC insists on buying into the racist template of a police state “roundup” and printing it in their euro-centric mouthpiece the Daily Trojan shows how far we have to go before people of color are treated equally at this University. USC was invested in South Africa as late as 1993! Yes, 1993. Students of color are asked for ID just like the former apartheid state. Sister! We have more serious matters than your drinking to address before justice prevails.
Lol!
I am very unhappy with the sexist language used in the Roundup section. Do you notice whenever they find some person passed out they insist on mentioning it is a woman (“her”). They never do this with men. Let me guess, men are better drinkers and don’t pass out on the sidewalk. I beg to differ!
Is this a joke?
I will be damned. This comment goes right up on the site. While my comment is awaiting moderation. Moderation! There ain’t nothing moderate about the truth.
