Najee Ali, a longtime civil rights activist in South L.A., where many of the call-ins occurred, said the effort was clearly intended to punish activists for demanding police funding be reallocated elsewhere, and should be a huge cause for concern

I know where Najee can place a rusty chainsaw...

Let’s investigate to find fault with others. No need to reflect on our own leadership decisions. No, we couldn’t possibly be responsible for the falling morale of all those under our authority.

With such leadership we are all in trouble.

So what if it was an orchestrated protest. Liberals love organized protests.

Good for the cops. Hope the liberal elites are getting a taste of life after they defund their police departments

I grew up in SoCal, long ago. I don’t remember many people called either Najee or Ali. I guess times have changed.

You want an organized protest? i just learned that a California sheriff can take a 150 dollar reduction in their pension and make the beneficiary their minor child. there are 55 year old sheriffs having kids and when they die there kid, even if they are newborn, will get their pension for their entire life. guy can work 20 years and get 100 years of pension payments. Protest that.

police killings of Black people and the Los Angeles City..

Yeah, all those LAPD killings of all those unarmed black people in Los Angeles. How many? 3 in the last 2 years? Maybe zero in the last two years?

Sounds like rampant genocide. Defund? Heck, just eliminate the oppressive department.

I can answer that without an investigation.

Some was probably legitimate. Some was likely the result of the lack of backing from the city administration.

Now, try to figure out which was which.

Where do I send a bill?

All the police should just walk out for a week or more, and say “You wanna defund the police? Here’s what your city will look like after you do! Maybe we’ll be back, maybe we won’t- “

“LAPD investigates whether spike in officer sick calls over July 4th weekend was an orchestrated protest”

I’m confused ... wouldn’t police not showing up for work be considered showing solidarity with the city council’s aim to defund the police?

Labor action illegal? How about self-preservation. I’m surprised they ALL don’t walk off the job.

I guess when they tried to call some officers to check on their status, the background music was “I Hear a Symphony”...

How could giving them what they demand be a punishment? He should regard fewer police doing less policing as a gift.
