These “shoot first and the identify” types are going to cost the LAPD a ton of money from lawsuits from this blatant stupidity. So much for the “protect and serve” mantra the LAPD mouths. They're nothing but a bunch of thugs with guns.

Now, if these Keystone Kops want to play war for real, a well-armed citizenry is a much tougher problem than one rogue cop or a bunch of gang bangers. Many of these people rely upon one well placed shot over spray and pray. All the fancy toys and body armor is for naught to a high power rifle round like .308 Win, .30-06, 7.92x57, 7.62x54R.

If they haven't figured this out, they need to look to the 1992 LA Riots. The LAPD abandoned the citizens in the riot areas for days. The Koreatown shopkeepers defended their homes and businesses against the rioters and took out the trash. One Korean shopkeeper couldn't bring himself to shoot the rioter who was about to throw a lit Molotov Cocktail into his shot; he shot the bottle in the thug's hand. The thug became a crispy critter.

This entire fiasco has been highly illustrative. I no longer fear having to take on law enforcement in a SHTF scenario. They’re obviously easily cowed.

It’s not going to cost “the LAPD” a single cent. Not one.

It probably WILL end up costing the _taxpayers_ of L.A. a “ton of money”.

Them’s the breaks...

Except that the case will be heard in the court of a California-appointed judge by government-sucking Kalifornia sheeple.
