Just heard something I've never heard before coming over my scanner. Request for all available Santa Cruz County Sheriff unit to go code 3 into Monterey County for something going on in Salinas.

Evidently there is an active protest going on about another shooting, and yet another shooting tonight, with a bunch of protesters involved. They are including Watsonville PD, which sits on the Santa Cruz County side.
The call tonight was for an officer involved shooting. They would not have asked for mutual aid code 3 if it were just the protesters. It all seems rather odd. I heard about 12 units chime in here who were on their way, all going code 3. (I am in Santa Cruz County)
I've been listening to the broadcastify feed of Santa Cruz Fire and Sheriff and I dont hear any of that. Am I missing something? Been listening since 0100

Doing a search on GeoChirp - Twitter Application | Twitter Mashup | Map Mashup | Geo Chirp Twitter Map Mash up | Google maps mashup --- Looks like it's pretty rowdy -- I'm not calling it a riot - but maybe some people out there taking advantage of a civil protest

Are they now broadcasting the Sheriff on there? Most of the units are now on SCSO Red channel, or have switched to Monterey Sheriff frequencies (I heard one officer use the term North County channel, I don't normally scan Monterey County on my scanner as its too far south)
Yep, they were told to go to Del Monte and Mae. They originally collected together at the county line as they wanted to make sure they were all on the same page. Would have been interesting to catch that on video.
I guess, Santa Crus Fire and Cal Fire, Cruz County Sheriff Santa Cruz County Fire and CAL FIRE, Cruz County Sheriff Live Audio Feed
Yep, I heard the Sheriff mixed in there. The feed is only about 20 seconds behind real time, not bad. All the officers for the Monterey thing are definitely on another channel. I'll watch the local news here in 15 minutes, see if anything pops up.
Just saw a news guy live on scene. Someone was shot (though the reporter did not have info on the shooter) cops on the scene for the shooting started taking rocks and bricks from "protesters" which is why they asked for mutual aid. Seems to be winding down at this point.
"SWAT teams from Santa Cruz County have been called in to help handle large protest in the area of Del Monte and Mae in Salinas" per the online news.

It was alot of law enforcement from every and as far north as Santa Clara.
SCSO were running off CLEMARS talking to Monterey comm requesting them to cover North Monterey county till MOCOSO could free up some units.
