The most Los Angeles thing I have ever seen happened behind the Yoshinoya Beef Bowl....
See the alley between the Yoshinoya and the pharmacy? As I drove by on Wilshire, two extremely alert LAPD officers on motorcycles were sitting at the edge of that parking lot, postures tight and poised for action, urgently scanning the street. It was like watching a gunfighter movie, in the scene when the camera closes in on the gunfighter’s eyes, watching his opponent for the draw. These dudes were ready. If you did 38 in the 30 MPH zone, then brother, you were dead-ass done, nailed up in the trophy case.
Also, no more than thirty feet away from them, a little gaggle of filthy human zombies was passing a glass pipe around the circle, throwing up clouds of smoke, at the top end of an alley wall-to-wall full of open drug use and not terribly subtle drug dealing (and probably the prostitution that pays for the drugs, but I didn’t wander into the alley to look). But California made the possession and use of heroin, meth, and cocaine a misdemeanor, and the DA at the time was very proud that he wouldn’t allow his office to file most misdemeanor cases, because misdemeanors are lifestyle crimes that punish people for being poor, or for being “individuals experiencing homelessness.” So that alley full of people Hunter Bidening all day out in the open weren’t doing anything that could lead to prosecution, but your expired registration tags would bring down an immediate police response in you happened to roll by them.
Grand Guignol human depravity and ruin: no big deal. Minor traffic offenses: front and center.

When I lived in California, I loved Beef Bowl!
The cops were just protecting their zombie friends from getting run over by an evil SUV.

It’s called “Anarcho-Fascism”.
Follow the money.
They’re running out of it.
Traffic “enforcement” at least pays for itself.
Until they pull over a DUI, that’s an instant 10-15 grand into their system.
Whereas chasing after addicts and whores costs the system money.
This, every time.
What was it like?
“the state does not perform effectively or justly its basic duty of enforcing order and punishing criminals, and in this respect its failures do bring the country, or important parts of it, close to a state of anarchy.
But that semblance of anarchy is coupled with many of the characteristics of tyranny, under which innocent and law-abiding citizens are punished by the state or suffer gross violations of their rights and liberty at the hands of the state.
The result is what seems to be the first society in history in which elements of both anarchy and tyranny pertain at the same time and seem to be closely connected with each other and to constitute, more or less, opposite sides of the same coin.”

“When Government Is Endlessly Intrusive and Omnipresent, and Also Not There At All”
VDH had a good piece about this, maybe 2 years ago. He noted that there are two Californias - one stuffed with oppressive rules stifling those that legally pay their own bills, and one where anything goes - for the dregs of society.
I have zero respect for police officers in an anarcho-tyranny, and zero sympathy should anything happen to them. Enforcing traffic laws while civilization is collapsing around them is simply armed robbery, under color of authority, no less.
Family loves Yoshinoya Beef Bowl - all I taste is salt and grease.
California - where high speed chases, hordes of homeless shooting up in the streets, shoplifting is legal and gas is over $5.00/gallon - are considered normal.
In New York:
'Devoted and loving’ dad-of-one raped by passenger after dying on train

Reminds me of the seventies when cops and HP’s ruthlessly enforced their damned 55 mile an hour speed limit while Gacy, Bundy and The Hillside Stranglers roamed the nights. Most of them they didn’t even tell us about. But don’t go 61.
So true in the 70s. ‘Effing PA state police pulled me over for 59 mph on the PA turnpike. I had out of state tags.
Never returned to PA and never will.
