LAPD Police Chief Says City Has Lost A Decade Of Progress Beating Crime

    1. a long way? meaning that 10 people per year would be saved? There’s more than 10 people dying in each of the California cities each weekend. I wouldn’t say “a long way”. Thanks.

    2. @Mr. White police officers not taking photos of Kobe’s helicopter crash and trying to sell the pictures for profit would also go a long way.

  1. And absolutely nothing to do with the defund the police movement and the media telling people it’s okay to destroy the things if you have a good reason.

    1. @Matt O when you start using words like “kiddo” in a debate, you start to come across as being condescending. Also, you are an exception to the norm. I chose my words carefully to avoid a reply like the one you gave. Of course not every home without a father or father figure will turn out a criminal, but statistics show a majority do. Congratulations to you and your wife on becoming productive members of society.

    2. @Blk Stang the main issue is there is absolutely no transparency or integrity within our police departments. How many times have cops been caught lying in their reports only to be caught after body cam footage has been released? That happens so frequently it’s not funny and those are just the ones we know about. Cops are known for hiding evidence of their crimes, that’s the whole premise the blue wall, they cover up for each other. There’s no telling how many innocent people have killed, injured or incarcerated because crooked cops and the so called good cops just sit in silence.

    3. @Mr. White kiddo my wife and I were never not productive members of society. You think poor people in unfortunate circumstances aren’t productive members of society? Wtf is your issue? Not everyone has the luxury of growing up in a two parent middle class household getting everything handed to them like you did. Some of us actually to work for what we get instead of relying on mommy and daddy.

    4. 👨‍🦱 – Defund the Police! Better yet obsolete the police.

      👨 – No way! You or someone might need them!

      👨‍🦱 – Not everyone want or need police, not because they’re criminals; but because they can afford to defend for themselves and/or hire private protectors.

      👨 – Not everyone can afford to hire private protectors. Only the rich will be able to afford it.

      👨‍🦱 – Correct, because the State is the #1 cause of poverty. You can’t really do much without the State sucking you dry with taxes, regulations, fees on top on fees, permits, licenses, unjust laws, etc,  this all effects the livelihood of a person.

      👨 – But we need police! Who are you going to call, Batman?! Ghostbusters?

      👨‍🦱 – State monopoly doesn’t allow outside competition to fight crime, this creates the “need” for police. If you want to fight crime you have to join the State gang or face arrest for competing with them.

      👨 – What’s your solution then?!

      👨‍🦱 – I don’t have all the answers but, I think it’ll be a good idea to end State monopolies and let peaceful people voluntarily choose/compete for products and services.

  2. Yeah you’ve got to work on community engagement to fix the public opinion problem. And people like Derek Chauvin make that job a lot harder

    1. Meanwhile G Floyd normalized crime. If you get victimized by a criminal just know you deserved it.

    2. @Scientific Methodologist Your posts have been deleted a lot this past week. An intelligent person (not you) would catch on.

    4. LMAOOOO
      As if the hood will ever respect the police. You people are more disconnected than the police and politicians.
      The hood isn’t going to hold hands and sing kumbaya

  3. More money ..less people…cuz the cost of quality policing went up? I call BS. Defund the police, fund mental health.

    1. @Mr. White Very true. Not sure why some people have such a hard time understanding that. Everyone always wants to put the blame on someone else for there own actions.

    3. @Common Sense Well, their upbringing isn’t isolated from the society, is it? How are their chances for a good education, even a good kindergarden to learn efficient social skills? How safe is their nutrition? How safe is their parents living situation? Are the able to make enough to buy a house in a safe neighborhood? All questions that needs to be answered not only by the individuals in question but by society, too. Without equality in education, job prospects a chance to lead a life in dignity dwindles.

    4. @F P Do you really advocate anarchy? No common ground how policing is executed in a democracy? You truly want Chinese or Russian conditions where only the super rich can afford effective protection and the normal police officer is useless until he’s bribed.
      You have no clue how a society profits from gouvermantal structures.

    5. @SolSere Jeremy Well most of these people prefer to be on drugs/alcohol and make babies they can’t afford and live on welfare. They probably just need to do away with the welfare system or give people maybe a year of it and get them to work to make a good income so they can buy a house ect.

  4. How about you train them in community policing instead of what PD’s have been training over the past 3 decades in military training, we are not your enemies but if you keep this up you may find yourselves in a war. Then no one wins. It only takes one bad apple but most PD’s are filled with them. Tell us the last time any one of your cops turned in another cop for their crimes against your citizens?

    1. @F P Canada ranks higher than the USA in terms of Freedom 🤪. Hey, atleast you get to have your guns ✊🏼

    2. Also, we are trading only in gold, silver, barter, and privacy coins like pirate coin and monero. 😉

  5. I’m surprised msnbc put up a video that goes against the anti police narrative ? Hum…everything they do has a strategic reason …hummm…
