The mayor of Los Angeles has vowed to cut $150million from the city's police budget and give it to communities of color.
...
In addition to the sizable redirection of funds, Garcetti told reporter officers will be required to report misconduct going forward and to intervene when witnessing displays of excessive force.

By July, he said, a LA Department of Civil and Human Rights and an Office of Racial Equality will be up and running.

Judging by that picture I’d say it’s more like subjugation to the mob. Pathetic.

On a dumb scale of 1-10 this one is an easy 20.

Because what LA needs is less policing.

Just hand the city over to the Crips and Bloods and get it over with.

Does the mayor have a security detail? If he does, he should disband his security team immediately.

[P.O.E.]

but they will "slow down" police work in minority hoods

I imagine them thinking - why would I want to get involved with this perp and get my name plastered across the web?

Unambiguous, loud, and clear.

In the back LEFT pocket. They’ll most likely go along to show how much the care.

Glad I don’t live in CA.

OJ Simpson could have waited til last week and he wouldn't have even gotten questioned!!!

Timing is everything.

Typical Lib who can't tell the difference between good and bad.
Here's the decoder ring:
Peaceful Protests - OK.
Rioting, Looting, Destruction of property, Threats, Violence and Murder - Unacceptable.
The liberal media would have us believe it's the same.

I’m hearing repeatedly that the reason it is so hard to get rid of “bad cops” is because of union protections in collective bargaining.

Yah, even the Coward of Broward was reinstated.

""Crime will soar in minority communities"

They won't be adding anymore names to gang list either. That will help🙄(/s).

The only part that makes sense is about police reporting excessive force, but that should be a no-brainer. That is the problem that needs to be dealt with.

Keep voting Democrat.

That was earmarked, tax-payer money. He has no right to do that. IF he does, the next bond/tax issue that comes up..regardless what it is...vote it DOWN.

[magna carta]

That’s what I want to know...surely to God there’s a taxpayer lawsuit in there somewhere

Drag the FBI with suitcases of cash thru Compton, and this is what you get.

Yep, kneeling to a mob of looters and rioters is always the right thing to do. The beheadings start in 3, 2, 1...
