As peaceful protests continue, LAPD budget could be cut by up to $150 million to reinvest in communities of color

I can see the news reports now if LA suffers a major earthquake. The media will report....

"LAPD no where to be found as chaos engulfs the city amid power outages and fires. Traffic is backed up across the city with looting increasing in other parts of the city."

"LAPD Police Chief John Smith says his department is doing the best they can with limited numbers and equipment"

"The LAPD officers union has repeatedly asked for more funding from city leaders for man power and equipment after the department was gutted in the wake of protests and rioting after the death of George Floyd six months ago!"

"Dimocrat run city's across the country dramatically cut or even disbanded law enforcement & emergency services as a new way to focus on social justice reform!"

"Despite those cities reportedly being over run with crime as statistics are showing an almost 100% increase across the board in robbery, arson, assault and even murder dimocrat mayors and governors are holding firm in their new policies!"

Remember how I explained that, of all the people on this forum, you’re one of two that I instinctively don’t trust? I’m sure you remember, you whined at some length about how great your credibility is.

First: watch that video, again. Look at that crowd. Listen to the reporter’s words as she describes them repeatedly and at length as a peaceful protest and that it was the police escalating tensions by boxing them in. She says repeatedly that it’s only a few people behaving violently.

Second: read this portion of the response to the same question that elicited the “expand the perimeter” excuse from your linked transcript:

William Barr: (38:16)
Unfortunately, because of the difficulty in getting appropriate units into place, by the time they were able to move our perimeter up to I street, a large number of protestors had assembled on H Street. There were projectiles being thrown and the group was becoming increasingly unruly. And the operation to what… They were asked to three times if they would move back one block, they refused. And we proceeded to move our perimeter out to I Street.

Now you know why, when I see you editorializing the contents of some link or making some representation about what you saw elsewhere on the internet, I just assume you’re mistaken or lying.

I think more than enough has been said to explain and justify my opinion. I stand by what I’ve said and see no reason to change my mind with respect to the impetus for clearing the crowd or the appropriateness of how it was done. Maybe next time, start your rebuttal with a sentence that doesn’t mischaracterize the my statement and I’ll bother reading to the end.... But I doubt it.

This is literally like you crashing your car into a tree while driving drunk and blaming the alcohol and tree..

Because he almost murdered a woman one time and been in jail 5 times? The coronation of Floyd to be on par with MLK is amazing. Then again, the violent left did the same thing with Michael Brown.

A man can turn his life around. There are some evidence that George Floyd was trying to do that. There also appears to be evidence that he was still involved in illegal activities. Nobody deserves to die like he died. With that say, I agree that this worldwide coronation like it's MLK, Muhammad Ali, a POTUS or royalty like Princess Diana just shows you how insane these people are. This might be one of the biggest leftist scams of all-time.

There are continued memorials services or moments of silence for Floyd as I heard on the radio they are doing a tribute Tuesday. There is no way it is about George Floyd because no one appeared fo know much about him. It will essentially be a radio thon about everything else. Al Sharpton probably hasn't felt this high on the hog since...well ever since he was the fat Al Sharpton. Ben Crump is an opportunist too. They are buddies.

They aren't giving it to communities of color. They are giving it the racist terror group BLM. Was so glad to see them stand up to the racist council woman 8n the parking garage. Great video.

I'd hate it and feel sorry for the real innocent citizens of these liberal cities but I'd love to see these police departments from the top down walk off the job for 48 hours and see what happens when you don't have law & order.

Defund the Police department = these fools come under a Police State


Oh, the Irony

We're already under a police state.
The NSA, FBI, Patriot Act, DEA, ATF, state and local police all exist to suppress your freedom and keep your butt exactly where it is. There's probably at least 10 more agencies or laws, but those are the main ones.

De-funding and dismantling law enforcement = more freedom. Plain and simple.

No one is de-funding federal LEO..so your more freedom idea isn't really viable.

Also, go visit some other countries. The USA is a far, far cry from a "police state". Do cops here strap you down and take your blood for a DUI check on the highway? Nope. If you went to jail, served your time, do cops come take your newborn baby away from you because you went to jail before? Nope. Thats police state sh!t.

My opinion is that evil humans exist in every color and in every occupation. What happened to Mr. Floyd was a product of an evil human. His evil profile was racism and megalomania. Others evil profiles are rape, pedophilia, serial adulterer, drug dealing, and so on.

The only way to fix police brutality is by extreme vetting of police personnel and higher pay for police officers. We accept personnel into certain positions out of necessity.

I look at the teaching profession as an example. We dont do a good job of teaching our children because we dont put a priority on the importance of the people that teach them. Make the teaching profession as important as an engineer, doctor, or lawyer and the quality of the person raising our children when their not with us will be invaluable. We don't pay them as they should be paid.

Same as law enforcement. Vett the crap out of a new law enforcement applicant. Tell them your watching their every move, but pay them for their professionalism. Evaluate the crap out of them, but praise the crap out of their success with money and title.

I want our current police officers to strike and quit coming to work. Let the world have at itself for a minute. Let the world have what it's asking for. Only for a minute, because the human race stands on the edge of complete chaos at any minute. We are animals and would resort to gang mentality if the opportunity presented itself. Law and order by definition sounds good, but it is also corrupted by power hungry humans. But, those humans are usually smarter and more able to govern than most of the dredges of society that are okay raping, pillaging, stealing, and killing the weaker of our race.

It's not okay what happened to Mr. Floyd. No matter what his crimes were, he was subdued and no longer a threat. You can only fix this by extreme interviewing applicants and paying for moral values.

No matter what anyone says money talks and the cream of humanity rises to the top based off the ability to be successful. Our economic system works better than anyone else because of the opportunity to be successful with hard work.

Good luck world. I'm in an isolationist mentality now which I will leave everyone alone and protect what's mine to the death.

Yeah I could support policy changes on the fed level maybe even state but defunding or disbanding LEO's at the local level is insane!

Cops have carte blanche to do whatever the hell they want to people with little outside oversight and even less meaningful repercussions when they break the law. That's a police state.
