The “Strategy of Orchestrated Crisis” meets “More Violence Justifies Clamping Down on Society”.
Not a Gascon fan and my experiences as lifelong Los Angeleno have made me have a more favorable view of the Police Dept than the Sheriff’s...
But I highly recommend the Clint Eastwood-directed movie “Changeling” starring Angelina Jolie as Christine Collins - the real life 1920s Los Angeles woman whose child went missing one day, only to then call the LAPD who in the coming months would seek to ruin *her* life in place of addressing their own negligence and incompetence. And John Malkovich as the Reverend Briegeleb, who’s preaching over the radio brought to light all the massive levels of corruption/brutality/mafia-behavior at work at the LAPD at the time as well as the Mayor’s office. His coverage of Christine Collins’ story led to the bringing down of the police chief as well as other major municipal officials. LA Times has all the stories archived and the movie was nominated for several Oscars back in ‘08.
These people think they want a Lawless society.
I don’t think they would like it if they had it.
Good people often want to take out the trash, but they don’t do it because of the cost. If there is minimal cost, I think a lot of trash could find itself kicked to the curb.
My whole life I have dreamed of becoming Lord Humungous, Ruler of the Wasteland.
Try to defend yourself, or protect your property, and the DA will perk right up.
When was Hollywood's "heyday?"
Certainly not when "Fatty" Arbuckle was one of the top Hollywood celebrities.

The jails will be full of people who would not wear a mask in their own homes.
Those leftist that promote and fund types like Gascon usually have the resources to protect themselves from the policies they endorse - gated estates with armed, high-tech security.
If things become too uncomfortable for them, they are their money are portable and they are free to move to other cities and ruin them as well.
The social compact between individual and the state is clear. The individual will not seek revenge for a wrong done to them in exchange for the state to punish wrong doers.
—
For a long time time that social compact has been eroding as groups like the ACLU fight to keep wrong doers from ever being punished.
This DA just weakens it more. The rule of law is no more in Democrat controlled areas. If you are one of the special people you are protected, if you are in the right political party you are protected.
At some point the people will decide the system is broken and will begin to administer their own justice on law breakers. This is not a threat, it is just an observation from someone that has actually read some history of the world.
Los Angeles is about to get Mad Max rules and a massive influx of criminals to this brand new spanking criminal paradise.
I remember Joe Friday saying, "just the facts ma'am."
