This is what the people of Los Angeles wanted. They put their police force on a short leash, blaming the overworked officers for the least amount of violence against criminals while at the same time absolving the criminals of responsibility. It has led to increasing numbers of officers leaving the force or retiring early. With fewer officers on the street and those that are being hesitant to act, the criminals are taking advantage of the situation.
The Los Angeles Police Department recently started warning people not to wear expensive jewelry in public, or they might become the target of thieves. Thieves have become so brazen that they smashed in the front window of Luxury Jewels, a Beverly Hills jewelry store, in broad daylight and fled with merchandise estimated to be worth $3 to $5 million dollars.
“We’re in the heart of Beverly Hills. Who thought this would happen in broad daylight?” Owner Peter Sedghi said.
“Over the last year, there has been a marked increase of armed robberies involving victims wearing expensive jewelry while in public. If it is visible, it can be a target,” an LAPD statement said.
The Associated Press also reported about other high-end robberies. “In one case, the armed thieves allegedly stole more than $3,600 worth of jewelry from a man at a mall parking garage. In the other incident, one victim was pistol-whipped and the other had their Rolex and phone stolen at gunpoint during a follow-home robbery,” according to the AP.

What goes around comes around.
One of these fine days, the majority is going to realize this country is doomed the way it is going. Then look for a leaner, meaner Donald Trump type figure to be elected by a huge majority. That election may even come first in a state like Californicate. When that happens, it is going to become open season on the Mugs, Thugs, Pugs, the Riff-Raff and especially the Gang-bangers.
Maybe even a return to the Happy Days of the 1950s and Dragnet will return to the LAPD.
Dragnet & Adam 12 are rolling in their graves!
And its glorious
If this is what they want, why does Deep State need to steal elections in CA....? 🤔
Leftists, too stupid to connect cause and effect, are now affected by their cause.
“...why does Deep State need to steal elections in CA...”??

Elections have consequences.

“ One of these fine days….”
I don’t believe that is true. Once a place goes third world, it has little chance of reversing course.
“Once a place goes third world, it has little chance of reversing course.”
Agreed—this merits further discussion.
Third world countries have no true rule of law (regardless of what their Constitution or written law says).
That means that property rights cannot be defended against criminal elements, whether low level criminals or government protected plutocrats.
Average folks then have no choice but to hide any wealth or assets. Traditional investment in long range ventures is not possible.
In such countries people just give up on the political process. There is nothing to preserve and nothing to defend.
You reap what you sow. Pass the popcorn please. I am LMAO while watching from afar. I am loving Tennessee after fleeing from the People’s Democratic Republic of California last year. My return to America has been wonderful, after my escape from behind the Pink Curtain. Just wonderful.
Who thought this would happen in broad daylight.
Everybody who knew what would happen by defunding the police and low bail.
Will Smith should just go on patrol and smack the perps right in the kisser. Then swear at 'em.
Methodists LOL, so true.
