L.A.’s a big city, in the North Hollywood bank shootout, there was a SWAT team conducting an exercise at the police academy, right off the same freeway that went to No. Hwd. It still took close to half an hour to get ‘em on scene.
Excuse me, LAX has safe areas, FBI offices, the CIA is there, they have a hospital bordering the airport, LAPD and DOA have police stations at LAX and there are fire department facilities all over the place at LAX.
