The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) tweeted a release Tuesday advising city residents to “cooperate and comply” when being robbed.
The release begins:
Due an increase in violent street robberies, Robbery-Homicide Division has become aware of an ongoing crime trend of follow-home robberies. Suspects have been locating victims in Los Angeles, following them, and then committing the robberies as the victim arrives home or at their business….These crimes have occurred throughout the City of Los Angles as well as neighboring cities. Different suspects have been identified and arrested for these types of crimes.
LAPD then uses the release to outline seven points conveying the department’s advice for what city residents ought to do in response to the robberies.
Point five on the release says, “If you are being robbed, do not resist the robbery suspects; cooperate and comply with their demands. Be good citizens.”

So if we want to rob all the rich moguls and celebrities in LA and steal their money, cars, jewelry and other valuable stuff, they are supposed to cooperate with us? Good to know.
“Be good citizens.” WTF is that supposed to mean? To me it means shoot them so they go down quickly and without pain. Then cooperate with police when they arrive to cart away the carcass.
Be good citizens....and shoot them.
The LAPD must reimburse victims, is that correct?
Maybe we should ask the robbers to comply with their victims.
Well let’s see, the government has been robbing us blind for decades, so I guess this advice is just an extension of that.
Then the Police should be REQUIRED to live by the same Standards, NO MORE GUNS FOR COPS
When you’d see “No radio” signs in car windows in NYC in the early 90s (Dinkins era), it was clear it was coming apart. Many of those residents left NYC forever, spilling into NJ and upstate NY; when Diblasio’s last RINO opponent tried to resurrect that era in ads, it flopped because so few voters were left from that period.
Once the home of rugged individualism, America has devolved drastically into an obedient, frightened "collective".
And yet should you defend yourself, the LAPD will have plenty of resources to come after you, take your gun, and you on trial with malicious prosecutors.
Out of curiosity, is it legal to carry “prop guns” in L.A.? Just evoke the Baldwin defense and say you didn’t know the armorer gave you a weapon with live ammunition.
The Los Angeles "authorities" have been recommending surrendering to criminal thugs for at least twenty-five years that I know of.
Bad citizens might interfere with asset forfeiture efforts, also - so full compliance with officially sanctioned reparations actions by either government or their criminal allies is recommended. /s
This is really about grooming citizens to comply with government Totalitarianism.
Stop them in such a way as to ensure they will not be able to harm, threaten, or rob others ever again. That is being a good citizen.
This unpleasant action is not the good citizen's fault and there should be no guilt or stigma attached to it.
It is in fact a laudable public service.
The outcome is entirely the result of the decisions and actions of the perpetrator.
May their fate serve as a warning to others who might be similarly inclined to violence and crime and help them to make better decisions.

Voting for liberals has its consequences and these rich white leftists are gonna be the target because of their own stupidity. LAPD just told them they’re not going to do anything to the thugs!
Resisting can be risky if you don’t know what you’re doing. Statistically most victims will survive a robbery. Fighting back is a choice that’s not for everyone, and it’s not as simple as just carrying a firearm. It’s a personal choice and it’s extremely situationally dependent.That being said, when the cops say you should do nothing just encourages aggressive criminals. Making a general statement about self defense is irresponsible. In my opinion, being armed just gives you more options.
Los Angeles victims can start buying exploding dye packs like banks use. Add some pepper and skunk spray and a few of those will dramatically cut down on street robberies.
