This is sure to piss off the powers-that-be. ‘We Can’t Guarantee Your Safety’: Head Of LAPD’s Police Officers’ Union Warns Tourists Away
With many people feeling Southern California is experiencing a violent crime wave, even prompting the head of the Los Angeles Police Department’s union to warn tourists away, LAPD Chief Michel Moore tried to assure people that crime is not out of control in the city.
“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 Chief of Police went immediately into asset covering mode.
“It’s not out of control. It’s not a spiral that we’ve lost control over. It is important that we not have a sense of acquiescing or just lackadaisical approach to this. We’re calling out the severity of it,” the police chief said.
There is some mention of the revolving door, criminal justice system, but it is nearly at the end of the article.
The people of California wanted less policing, and less incarceration. File this under "Be careful what you wish for."
Just stay out of California period.
