The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) will stop responding to traffic collisions, and will downsize its homicide and robbery divisions, thanks to new budget cuts championed by Mayor Eric Garcetti in response to demands to “defund the police.”

The Los Angeles Times, in an article titled, “LAPD to dramatically downsize special units, focus on patrol as budget cut shrinks force,” reported Saturday:...

[The cuts] also come as homicides and shootings soar to levels not seen in the city in a decade, ratcheting up concerns in some communities that the changes could cost lives. Homicides are up by about 25% this year, compared with last, putting the city on pace to surpass 300 killings for the first time since 2009.

Sounds like an awesome approach.

That’s a local problem.

They can change it with votes, oh wait—our elections are worthless.

[Veggie Todd]

So a DUI driver t-bones another car and the cops won’t show up?

If the animals just kill each other, the problem will take care of itself.

Call the Social Workers.

By far, most homicide victims are inner city minorities.

No issues from me.

[Regulator]

Yea, whatever.

The scum there voted for it.

Let them live in a jungle.

When they start crying about it just laugh.

[I want the USA back]

They’ll let it get worse, then wait until biden is in office, and call in the federal troops to arrest the Trump supporters and random Whiteys who might be still alive.

Pure sickening horror of absolute worthless government. I have relatives in CA and cannot believe they stay.

If there ever was an excuse for staying out of something and just letting it happen....

Never interfere with an enemy while he's in the process of destroying himself.
