(Whittier, CA) - On January 26, 2010 at approximately 8:00 pm, Whittier officers were dispatched to a fight call at Panera Bread located at 15630 Whittwood Ln. in the City of Whittier. While enroute to the location, officers were advised that one of the subjects was armed with a handgun. When officers arrived, the subjects involved in the fight had already separated, but were still at the scene.

The preliminary investigation revealed that one of the suspects was involved in a verbal argument with his girlfriend. The victim, who was standing nearby talking on his cell phone observed the argument. One of the suspects confronted the victim and struck him in the face. A fight ensued between one of the suspects and the victim at which point one of the suspects pulled out a handgun and began hitting the victim in the head.

The victim was able to break free, but as he tried to run away, both suspects chased after him and tackled him to the ground where the assault continued. The victim eventually broke free of both suspects and ran into a nearby Target store. The investigation revealed that both suspects were off duty Los Angeles Police Department officers who were subsequently arrested for assault with a deadly weapon.

The victim was treated at the scene and transported to a local hospital for further evaluation. The victim suffered serious injuries to his head as a result of the assault.

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
