Teen detained after other juvenile has bottle broken over head during fight at closed park
Per the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the group of teenagers began gathering at Pacific Crest Park, located along Garnet Canyon Drive and adjacent to Mountainview Elementary School, late Saturday night.
'A 911 call came out from residents in the area just before 11 p.m.,' a department spokesperson confirmed to KTLA. Pacific Crest Park closes at 10:30 p.m. every night.

It was said by LASD that sometime during the gathering, a fight broke out, leading to a male juvenile being detained for smashing a bottle over someone else's head.
That victim was taken to a hospital with injuries described as 'non-life-threatening' by deputies. Another juvenile was transported with unspecified injuries.
Video obtained by KTLA shows deputies detaining the male juvenile at gunpoint and being placed into the back of a squad car near the entrance to an In-N-Out drive-thru. LASD did not explicitly state how or when he got there.

Further footage from the scene shows deputies detaining the teenager and questioning multiple others about what transpired in front of a swing set at the park. A broken bottle and several other alcoholic beverages were seen scattered in the grass and on the curb.
There is video circulating on social media that shows the alleged incident. (Warning: The video contains profanity and may be hard for some to watch.)
The post caption claims local homeowners are 'frustrated by months of lawlessness' at the park.
No further information on the altercation, victims or detainee was immediately provided by law enforcement.
This is the second incident involving a large group of teens getting into a fight in as many days; several juveniles were injured in an altercation outside a movie theater in Simi Valley just after midnight Friday, police there said. An adult was also hurt.

Why a Teen Bullying Case in China Set Off Protests and a Crackdown
A widely shared video clip of a 14-year-old girl being beaten, kicked and tormented by other teenagers set off large protests in southwestern China, with hundreds of residents accusing officials of letting the perpetrators off too lightly. What began as a local outcry over school bullying in the city of Jiangyou, in Sichuan Province, escalated into a broader confrontation with the authorities. The police responded to the rallies with a forceful crackdown late on Monday, captured by residents in photos and footage. Residents had demanded justice for the bullying victim and protested the police's use of heavy-handed tactics, saying it was suffocating their right to voice grievances. 'No to bullying,' residents chanted as rows of police officers stood nearby, according to one video that was shared widely on social media and verified by The New York Times. 'Give us back democracy,' they also shouted. The footage of the tense standoffs with the police also spread across China, where large protests are somewhat rare, before they were removed from social media. The viral clip of the bullying showed the assailants taking the 14-year old to an empty, unfinished building where they kicked, slapped and pummeled her as she knelt. The video prompted widespread outrage online, where many expressed concern about bullying and the need for accountability. On Monday, the Jiangyou police issued a statement saying that it had investigated the incident, which it said took place on July 22. Two of the attackers were ordered to attend a correctional school, according to the statement, and they also faced up to 15 days in detention, Chinese news reports said, citing officials. The third girl and other onlookers were let off with warnings. The parents of the victim complained that the punishment was too light. They took their grievances to the Jiangyou city government headquarters, where dozens, and then hundreds, of residents gathered to support them. Many were incensed because they believed that the parents of the girl who was beaten were disadvantaged; her mother was deaf, according to Chinese news reports. Tensions rose as the police tried to break up the crowd. 'Are you going to drag her away?' a man yelled at a police officer who appeared set to remove an older woman. The officer shouted at the man: 'Do you want to get dragged away?' The crowd erupted in anger as the officers tackled the man and hauled him off. The videos were scrubbed from Chinese internet sites, but some were shared with online accounts outside China. Protests are not uncommon in China, but the ones in Jiangyou stood out because they grew larger than most and generated footage and images and intense nationwide attention, said Kevin Slaten, the research lead for the China Dissent Monitor, which collects data on unrest in China by scouring social media. Many protests in China are about unpaid wages or housing problems, such as apartments that people have paid for but remain unfinished. But school safety issues, such as bullying, have also been a source of public anger, Mr. Slaten said. By calling for 'democracy,' the protesters in Jiangyou most likely meant a broad demand for justice and fair treatment, Mr. Slaten said. 'It can often be that, like we saw in Jiangyou, the protesters become more motivated when the authorities ramp up repression and the people feel even more indignation,' he said. Still, the residents who protested in Jiangyou also sought to show that they were patriotic citizens trying to work within, not against, the system. The beaten girl's parents appeared to get on their hands and knees to beg an official for his attention, some videos showed. At night, the protesters sang the national anthem while they faced off against police officers holding riot shields. Acts like prostrating were 'part of a longstanding cultural tradition in China where subjects petition benevolent officials to restore justice,' said Diana Fu, a political scientist at the University of Toronto who studies protest and dissent in China. By singing China's national anthem, she added, the residents appeared to be 'giving a nod to the central authorities' rule while also sardonically mocking local authorities.' By late Monday, the local authorities appeared to move in with greater force to break up the demonstrations. Phalanxes of police on foot pushed into the crowd, tackling people and dragging them away. Online comments in China about the unrest were largely removed. A woman in a shop near the Jiangyou government office who answered a call from the Times on Thursday said she did not know anything about the protests and hung up. Joy Dong in Hong Kong contributed reporting.

Google Confirms It Has Been Hacked — User Data Stolen
The Google Threat Intelligence Group has officially confirmed that user data has been stolen following a successful hack attack impacting one of its databases. Here's what we know so far. Google Has Been Hacked — Data Has Been Compromised This is not a warning that the Google Chrome web browser is in need of an urgent security update, or a story about switching from passwords to passkeys to protect your Google account. No, this is exactly what the headline says: Google has been hacked. Source? That would be Google itself. An August 5 posting by the Google Threat Intelligence Group has confirmed that one of the corporate databases was impacted by hackers thought to be associated with the ShinyHunters ransomware group, more formally known as UNC6040. 'Google responded to the activity, performed an impact analysis and began mitigations,' the GTIG posting stated, adding the database in question was a Salesforce instance 'used to store contact information and related notes for small and medium businesses.' Customer data was, Google said, 'retrieved by the threat actor,' in the short period of time that the attack window remained open. Although Google has not gone into great detail regarding the attack as of yet, it did confirm that the stolen data consisted of 'basic and largely publicly available business information, such as business names and contact details.' I have reached out to Google for a statement. Google has stated that ShinyHunters commonly uses an attack tactic of extorting victims using emails or telephone calls demanding bitcoin ransom payments within 72 hours of compromise. It has not, however, confirmed or denied that this was the case here. Google did confirm that the attack itself occurred in June. This is a developing story, and I will update it if more information from Google is forthcoming.
