Santa Barbara News-Press

The Santa Barbara News-Press was a broadsheet newspaper based in Santa Barbara, California. It was founded in 1868 as the Post and merged with the rival News to form the News-Press in 1932. On July 21, 2023, it filed for bankruptcy and ceased publication.

The oldest predecessor of the News-Press (the weekly Santa Barbara Post) started publishing on May 30, 1868.

The Santa Barbara Post became the Santa Barbara Press, which eventually became the Morning Press, which was acquired in 1932 by Thomas M. Storke and merged with his paper, the Santa Barbara News

The case never reached trial, as an undisclosed settlement was reached on April 28, 2008, resulting in a dismissal at the request of the parties

Press

If someone wasn't having the police press people they identified as "innocent" bystanders, why would anybody know what time the police usually back off at? It's not the kind of thing most people learn from experience, as jobs make it hard for most people to have the luxury of staying up until dawn on a regular basis.
Put pressure on someone, often without a good cause or reason.

Pressing Paralysis

The phenomenon occurs when multiple defenders are in position to challenge an attacking player, but due to hesitation, miscommunication, or uncertainty about responsibility, none of them step up to engage. As a result, the attacker faces less resistance than expected, often gaining space or time to advance. This defensive lapse is driven by a diffusion of responsibility, where each defender assumes another will take action, leading to collective inaction.
It was pressing paralysis at its finest, three defenders doing the ‘after you, sir’ routine while the striker waltzed through like he owned the place.
