Sounds like the makings of another episode of Bosch.
Is Money Chandler representing the plaintiffs? LOL
I’m not sure I have sympathy here. Undercover has been abused by agencies. Time to put uniforms and badges back on and let us see the protectors vs the jack boots.
At all levels of government and officialdom, the criminal incompetence of our “public servants” (lol) is surpassed only by their villainous treason.
LEO’s go under cover, infiltrate groups and make contact with individual citizens. They use paid informants to do the same thing and pressure informants into illegal situations so they can say they are getting results. They try their best to influence illegal activities, going as far as being side-by-side with individuals and urging them to break the law at the time the crime is committed. They ride this thin line of entrapment all the time. (Maybe you recall a little thing that happened on 1/6.)
Often times, while the cops are supposedly doing their jobs, they have DA’s and/or AG employees already on the job collecting information from the cops and informants work, ALL PRIOR to a crime being committed. These “sting” operations are not in response to crime, but to create crime. It’s the lifeblood for the political careers of DA’s and AG’s across the country.
Police can make their presence known by wearing a uniform and walking a beat in high crime areas. They need to gain the public’s trust (they certainly do not have mine), by not trying to trick the public, but by being honest, available and there to help. They can be there to defend citizens instead of hiding among criminals. They can be regularly investigated to ensure they are not being paid off by criminals.
Transparency with checks and balances will work.
Why?
These are LA cops. How many have arrested people over gun control violations?
“The watchdog group Stop LAPD Spying Coalition...”
Sounds like a Leftist group. But here’s the problem for them, virtually all of the spying done today is against MAGA types in order to continue the flow of False Flags - and this group just put an end to it, at least in Los Angeles.
Regardless of my opinion on undercover police. Their actions endanger entire families. One off duty officer at a ball game had a known LA gang member come up to him and tell him he saw his photo on that web site. Cartels are going to be in every big city if they aren’t there already. Going to be hard to fight them.
