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.

They should all leave the ‘Black’ neighborhoods and let them ‘police’ themselves since they have gotten the police’s funds, also F’ the mayor and his security. Every officer assigned to the Mayor’s security detail should refuse!

1,500 officers at 100,000 each?

Counting benefits and retirement, it’s more lie ~1,200 officers.

We bought a place in North Idaho three years ago. Keeping the California place for now, but may rent it out for a while. I’m in California right now due to family reasons, but my wife grabbed the dog and bugged out to Idaho the day the COVID lock-down of Santa Clara County started. She was going to go for a week of skiing, but her office shut down and started remote working, so she suddenly had the freedom to go. She says she’s never coming back to CA! (and she was born and raised here in the Bay Area).

What part of Idaho is your buddy moving to?

If I lived anywhere near LA, I’d be moving out. Come to think about it, if I lived in California I’d be moving out.

If you think a police officer only costs a $100,000 on average in LA you aren’t adding right, there’s overtime and benefits. Hell years ago I knew LA officers that were bringing down $150,000 and that didn’t count security work they did on the side.

What these simpletons don’t understand is that the police are protecting them from the Mexicans.

Partner, thanks for the picture. This mayor of LA is a nut case and a mess.

Let the blacks police themselves. That will work out real well, I’m sure. The Minneapolis Parks Department are severing their relationship with the Minneapolis Police. That means criminals know that they will only face the Park Police, so you expect that the hundreds of Minneapolis parks will become hell holes or open drug abuse, violence, and other crimes.

I mean what could possibly go wrong with $150 million less in policing in a city/county like LA?

Well I am sure that when crime rates start to climb, they will blame the police department not not doing the job, it use to do.

The mayor is babbling. This statement just does not make sense. He is going into a psychosis at a critical time.

Hey Mr. Douchebag, I’ll be sure to not spend another penny in your city as long as there’s a democrat mayor.

Oh, sure, set up an “Office” of bureaucrats. That will solve a lot.

Oh sure, too many of those Killers in Blue roaming the neighborhood. That will solve something, though I can’t think of what, exactly.

So, ...route those 911 calls straight to the Department of Civil Rights? Hey, they are sooooo good at calming things down, of course they should take the calls.
