Napa District Attorney Gary Lieberstein announced today that Raiders coach Tom Cable will not be charged in the alleged beating and choking of his assistant.

New cellphone footage of the night of Oscar Grant's murder has surfaced. What does it show? It seems, according to reports, a second BART officer, not Johannes Mehserle, can be seen assaulting a suspect moments before Grant's shooting death. In the footage, the officer, named Tony Pirone, goes over to one of the New Year's Day men who was sitting on the ground and clocks him square in the face. KTVU had this to say after viewing the footage:

At around 4 a.m. on Christmas morning, five teenagers beat and kicked a man at 25th and Mission streets. According to KCBS, the victim allegedly said something to aggravate the five teenage suspects, "who then followed the man to the intersection of Mission and 20th streets before throwing him to the ground and attacking him." (Group of teenage boys = scary. Which is why you should carry pepper spray, folks. A convergence of hormones, zits, and skidmarks is a Molotov cocktail waiting to blow.) The victim is being treated for life threatening injuries. No arrests, to no one's surprise, have been made.

Seven youths and one 18-year-old, Duc Truong, were arrested yesterday in connection with several assaults on other juveniles in the San Francisco's Richmond and Taraval hoods over the last few weeks. All of them are thought to be a part of some sort of "Chinese gang" gaily called the "True Brothers" gang. It seems "five attacks took place over the past two months and involved the suspects attacking the victims with baseball bats and knives." Do you know anything about this very real order of fraternity? Then please call SFPD's anonymous tip line at (415) 575-4444 now. Also, this brings up a critical question, who would win in a fight: True Brothers or Sureños? Our money is on the latter. (CBS 5)

"Simon Blint, Director of Visitor Relations at the SFMOMA is a first rate asshole."

Wide receiver Javon Walker of the Oakland Raiders was severely beaten, robbed, and left in a daze after a night of heavy partying in Las Vegas. Stripped of "large amounts of cash" and some jewelry, the football player was, it seems, blowing off some steam at such sexily-titled Sin City clubs as Tryst and Body English. According to the esteemed TMZ Walker was last seen "spraying pink champagne into the crowd" over at Body English. ("Sprayed Out Before He Got Laid Out," declares TMZ! Also: God, we thank you for bestowing TMZ and Harvey Levin upon us. Amen.)

Dublin general practitioner Dr. Tony Shiu -- who was accused of photographing and molesting his patients while they were under anesthesia -- was arrested yesterday.
