The Los Angeles Police Department has declared a citywide tactical alert after two suspects fired at a patrol car with a rifle Sunday night.

The incident occurred at 62nd and Hoover streets at around 9:20 p.m. Police say every available officer has been sent to the area.

One suspect is in custody. A perimeter was set up as officers searched for the second suspect.....

Lockdown. I think they should search the entire city, door-to-door, no matter how much it costs.

You can't have too much security.

Giuliani: De Blasio Owes Apology to NYPD

Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani says Mayor Bill de Blasio needs to apologize to the NYPD to mend fences with police, and also refused to back down on his comments that President Barack Obama has engaged in anti-police propaganda. Giuliani appeared Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” where he was challenged by guest host Major Garrett

Giuliani said on “Fox News Sunday” on Dec. 21, “We’ve had four months of propaganda, starting with the president, that everybody should hate the police.”

What is the difference between a citywide alert and a "tactical" citywide alert?

You ask too many questions.

We need to search your car and your house to make sure you're not involved in this.

This is in what was formerly called “South Central” Los Angeles, but is now called just “South” LA.

“We’ve had four months of propaganda, starting with the president, that everybody should hate the police.”

We've had fifty years of propaganda that there should be police everywhere.

Lockdown. I think they should search the entire city, door-to-door, no matter how much it costs.

You THEY can't have too much security.

There.

Fixed.

The goal of Obama and the Left is to eventually nationalize the police to eliminate any local control.

Will Obama’s New Police Strategy Lead To A Nationalized Police Force?

By John Vibes on December 20, 2014

national police forceThis week, it was announced that President Obama will be forming a task force to investigate police practices and the relationship that the general population has with police.

Members of the task force will include prior police officers, lawyers, teachers, social workers and other government employees. This in itself shows that the findings of this report will be heavily biased, but some predict that the final outcome of the investigation could be a nationwide centralized police force.

When the government gets involved in an issue like this, even when it is their fault, they will always use the situation to their advantage and attempt to steer the conversion of solutions in a direction which suits them.

In the case of the recent police brutality debate, this has already started to happen. Just last week Al Sharpton wrote a column suggesting that a nationalized police force would be a viable solution to the current problem of police misconduct. These statements echo comments that he has made in public and during demonstrations, although his presence has been largely rejected by protesters.

Sharpton wrote in his column that:

“We need federal intervention without delay. Congress must immediately start hearings to deal with laws that will change the jurisdiction threshold for federal cases and policing. The executive branch has addressed this most pressing issue, and now it’s time the legislative branch do the same. When local prosecutors fail to conduct a fair grand-jury investigation at the state level, as happened in Ferguson and Staten Island recently, the threshold is so high for the federal government to be able to take over the case. That must change…. And in order for federal authorities to step in, we must reform current laws.”

Are these perhaps a band of agents provocateur sent out across the nation?

I can't help but suspect the same thing.
There are too many such events to be a coincidence.
Someone is fomenting this unrest.

Will Obama’s New Police Strategy Lead To A Nationalized Police Force?

I think the situation has gotten to the point where we NEED a nationalized police force, but we don't want to alarm anyone about this new change, so the new national police force should be secret.

We could call it the "Secret State Police", but that would translate somewhat awkwardly into Austrian, or German...

[Ghost of SVR4]

The "nationalized police force" thing is not what scares me as much as the hundreds and hundreds of new laws that will accompany such a move. We are already suffocating under an immense amount of laws designed purely to curb freedoms and change behavior in line with how the "state" wants us to live. There are so many "laws" and regulations that none of us could feasibly know them "all", yet we are told ignorance is no excuse. It is not my local police dawning a different "patch" on their sleeves that makes them "national" that scares me, it is taking what little freedom we have left away; that some problem in Baltimore, or Philly, or Los Angeles brings a new "law" and that new law is applied across the nation. Buh-bye 10th Amendment.

What is the difference between a citywide alert and a "tactical" citywide alert?

The tactical alert has a Picatinny rail attached to it.

I check out CalNews (http://www.calnews.com/) daily which is a compilation of headlines from various California newspapers. They had a link to the story of the shooting at the LA police car.

Gunmen fire on LAPD patrol car in South L.A., prompting tactical alert

but with this editorial comment:

Are citizens, fed-up with police brutality, fighting back?

[Former Proud Canadian]

Nope, this is the beginning of the beginning.

This is part of the "transformation" the president speaks about. The American people elected a radical "community organizer" as president. Then they reelected him. He has appointed like minded people to every seat in government. Those he couldn't appoint, like Sharpton, are employed in an advisory capacity. Sharpton's recompense is no IRS goons on his back.

In the olden days, pre 1970, "community organizers" used to be called rabble rousers. Their "job" was to rouse the rabble. Society then had little time or money for such foolishness. Now rabble rousing is a respected career choice. One you can ride all the way to the White House.

The next two years are going to be hard. Obama wants Americans to suffer and he is rousing the rabble to apply the suffering. He is running out of time so look for him to step up the game.

Holder, Sharpton, deBlasio, et. al. have declared open season on police. The police and the rabble understand this. The next move is up to the individual police departments. Will they simply withdraw from some neighborhoods as they do in Europe? Or, will they fight back against the rabble, the chaos, and the full weight of the US federal DOJ? Your statement suggests the latter. I think they will withdraw and practice their trade in areas that appreciate law and order enough not to assassinate police officers.

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” Barack Hussein Obama, 7/2/2008

They don’t call it a Civil Defense force, that would imply we need (or perhaps that we deserve) defense. The official name is National Civilian Community Corps.

I think of it as the NatCCC, or more simply, as the NatCs...

Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

You mean going door to door, throwing residents out of their houses at gunpoint while yelling at them like they were felons, like they did in Boston?
