They just mightget it tonight. LAPD has a history of not being subtle. Remember the Symbionese Lib Army confrontation. Unlike they NYPD, LA doesnt have the manpower and maybe the doctrine to deal with this peacably.
Yes. IIRC, there wasn't a square foot of that house that didn't have several bullet holes when they were done.
They also thought Patty Hearst was in there...
That was a long time ago, in a Los Angeles far away, my friend.
The LAPD of yesteryear used to regularly bust heads, but they've succumbed to the pc illness that's affected the rest of the state these days.
I can't tell you how many times they knocked me around when I was a kid. They were a force to be reckoned with back then, but no more.
That was no confrontation. That was an absolute massacre..
The SLA made the big mistake of leaving their hideout in SF and moving it to LA...
That was their last move ever. There was barely enough left of them for autopsies.
