“My message to anyone thinking about coming to Los Angeles, especially during the holiday season, is don’t,” Jamie McBride, the head of the LA Police Protective League, the union representing LAPD officers, said in a television interview.
The message from McBride comes as what many residents and business owners view as a wave of crime slamming the city and surrounding areas.
“We can’t guarantee your safety. It is really, really out of control. I said it to people before, it’s like that movie ‘Purge,’ you know, instead of 24 hours to commit your crime, these people have 365 days days to commit whatever they want,” McBride said.
Apparently, California’s recent crime reform bills ($0 bail, sentencing guidelines changes) has caused the city to decend into chaos

I mean it’s in his interest to create this fear. It’s part of the reasoning why police officers can react accordingly to these common “hostile” situations. Does the data support it though?

What a lame attempt to try and get more money for an already overfunded and deeply racist department. Too bad it’s going to work because people love to eat this dog s*** up without thinking critically
capitalism is the best system we have amirite?
according to reports, they believe it’s due to the from reform they put into place like $0 bail policy and the loosening of sentencing
they are saying some people are getting arrested for robbery and getting let out before the police even finish the report lol
