Honestly, California and LA need to do better. Nobody is telling either what kind of police they should have, and it's a disgrace that they come up with LAPD.
LA spends half its entire city budget on these fuckwits. Fully half. Every other department has to share the remaining half.
Yeah, I remember someone complaining about the cost of homeless services in the city budget and I couldn't even find it in the published numbers. It was lumped in with other social services and all of them dwarfed by the enormous cost of police and fire services.
it rivals NYPD, THATS why both are the most corrupt of any PDs, eventhough almost all are corrupt. LAPD has actual gang members in them
It's almost like money and power are terrible corrupting influences that also attract the worst humans. Weird
Maybe what we need to do to have any rights is join the LAPD and start a gang? We can answer a lot of the law enforcement entry exam questions wrong on purpose, then pick a scary racist sounding gang name and get to providing legitimate public services for the people. We can take those expensive police mrap vehicles and use them to drive old people in rest homes to the beach, or shelter undocumented workers from ICE. I think the salaries are even good-- great even. And, PENSIONS!
Who is with me? And what will our LAPD gang name be? How about 'Minority-Punishers-6-7'
