Sad news from my next door neighboring community of Buena Park this afternoon. Officer Daniel Ackerman, 31, a popular members of the Buena Park Police Department has away after participating in a training exercise on Friday. He died today at St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton, according to the Orange County Coroners Office.

Apparently Ackerman was taking part in a training exercise on Friday when he showed signs of being "over exerted." The Associated Press, Ackerman was a resident of Buena Park, and has been with the BPPD since 2005, but he was active in the departments highly respected explorer and reserve officer programs. The flags are being flown at half-staff in both La Palma and Buena Park this afternoon in honor of Officer Ackerman.

He becomes the fourth officer in the history of the Buena Park PD to die in the line of duty.

Other past fallen Buena Park Police officers include Shayne York, Darrell "Bud" Cate, and Tyler Pinchot.

Please keep EVERYONE at the Buena Park PD in your thoughts and Prayers today, and to Officer Ackerman's family, including a young daughter, and his sister and mother.

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.”
