LA Police Chief Blunders [semi-satire]

The Los Angeles Police Protective League (LAPPL) filed a complaint against LAPD Chief Michel Moore for giving photos, names and other personal information on the City's police officers to an "abolish the police" group called the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, which posted this data on their web site along with the boast that "we have now #published over 9000 names and head-shots of numerous regular and undercover LAPD officers. Let the games begin!!"

Robert Rico, general counsel for the LAPPL said "this site puts a bounty on our officers--including those working undercover. The egregious stupidity of Chief Moore defies belief. It is life-threatening damage that cannot be undone. He must be held accountable."

Moore extended his "deep apologies for how officers found out about their data getting publicly posted. I can't believe that an organization with such solid progressive credentials would publish data that could be used to sic violent fanatics on the brave men and women of our police force. I want these officers to know that I fully support public funding for the plastic surgery and relocation expenses that may be needed to save their lives."

Meanwhile, in the state of Washington the legislature is on the verge of eliminating the requirement that candidates must understand English in order to qualify for the jobs of firefighter or law-enforcer. State Senator Javier Valdez (D-Seattle), primary sponsor of the measure, called the English requirement "an unnecessary impediment to the recruitment of otherwise capable candidates. If a job seeker has what it takes to pull people out of burning buildings, club, shoot, and tase suspects why do we care whether he can speak or understand English? Millions of non-English speaking people journey thousands of miles to get into our country. I think that shows the kind of extraordinary bravery and skills that we need from our police and firefighters."

That is some major league stupidity right there.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) denounced the bill, calling it "fascism of the worst sort. This is the exact same thing that Hitler did in Nazi Germany. Children need to be freed from the dictatorship of their parents so they can be hear the uplifting progressive doctrines their teachers are trying to communicate to them. The evil notions of individualism that parents try to foist on their innocent children must be replaced by the socialist ideals that President Biden and the Democratic Party are struggling to infuse into our country's youth. Parents' rights end when they decide to send their kids to public school. I urge every Democrat to vote no."

Sounds AOCish.

I would believe it except for the "semi-satire" in the masthead.

Thanks, John, for another informative/scary column.

Complaint HELL! Have one of the officers write a crime report and have the officer’s association file a mass action civil lawsuit!

I had to check if this was the Bee. This d*mf*k sheriff said not only would he pay for relocation but plastic surgery. Are you kidding me? You jeopardardize thousands of lives then promise to pay for them to change the way they look, an ordeal of multiple surgeries with questionable outcomes? Am I missing something or is he that fricking dumb (evil is a given).

Sorry I see this was satire. Harder and harder to determine.

It’s semi-satire. Moore really did give this data to the anti-police organization. They did post it. And Moore apologized for the way the police officers found out about it.
