Conservative Actor James Woods mocked West Hollywood’s “brilliant idea of replacing police officers with unarmed ‘safety ambassadors’” Thursday, by tweeting out video of a recent incident of assault and vandalism.
“Let’s take a peek at how that’s worked out during an assault in progress,” Woods tweeted, introducing a video clip from a report by West Hollywood station ABC 7. In the video, two so-called “security ambassadors” passively stand around and watch while a man repeatedly kicks a vehicle and attacks the driver in broad daylight.
Ethan Reynolds, the local citizen who took the video, told ABC 7 that he feels safer with actual police officers around:
“I’m absolutely petrified of someone holding a gun to my head, or holding a gun to my husband’s head, or stealing my dog.”
…
“Having a police officer around makes me feel safer. I know not everyone feels that way.”
In an effort to make citizens feel safe with fewer police, the city has deployed 85 unarmed security ambassadors on residential streets and in commercial corridors. Their presence is meant to deter crime, but they do not intervene at the sight of trouble. Instead, they are supposed to notify the police.
Business Owner Larry Block agrees with Reynolds that West Hollywood’s decision last year to cut its police force was a bad idea. Block told ABC 7 that the feckless security ambassadors are no substitute for police officers:

Ugh
So, they fire cops and hire people to call the cops. Makes sense.
F them.
They got what they voted for.
Count on the ‘safety ambassadors’ to be even more useless than the police.
Things were rough in West Hollywood before Warren Zevon wrote the song.... I can only imagine what they are like now that the cops have been replaced by social workers
Well, I met a girl in West Hollywood
I ain’t naming names
But she really worked me over good
She was just like Jesse James
This stupidity will end when the first safety ambassador gets killed.
Is there a betting pool on that yet?
‘safety ambassadors are there to call for help if needed.’
==
Safety Ambassador: HELP! That guy is attacking the other guy! HELP!

Safety Ambassadors will act as escorts late at night. [Oh yeah, one should feel much safer with that.]
Since when did Marxists concern themselves with a few broken eggs. Unless *they* themselves begin to resemble eggs, nothing will change.
Screwtape would be on the floor turning blue.
That was really odd. Those two ‘safety ambassadors’ just stood there. You’d think they’d at least have whistles to try to scare off an attacker.
But maybe they’re told to do nothing. Loud whistles probably contribute to climate change.
Smith & Wesson are my “escorts”.
“”Safety Ambassadors will act as escorts late at night””
‘escorts’???
I can just see some drunk Hollywood types hearing the term ‘escort’ and considering something other than safety.
“”security ambassadors passively stand around and watch while a man repeatedly kicks a vehicle and attacks the driver””
This part sounds just like the UN staff in Lebanon. Hezbollah built rockets and rocket launchers RIGHT NEXT to the UN ‘Peacekeepers’ on the Lebanon-Israeli border. Since most of the UN despises Israel and Jews, the ‘Peacekeepers’ had no issues with the rockets. Also, in many, many parts of the world, UN creeps often insist upon ‘payment’ before helping anyone. This ‘payment’ is often the between-the-sheets currency. Women and boys fleeing horrendous conditions will submit to these ‘payments’ because they are facing even worse at home.
Heh.
Saw a bumper sticker that said: “I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.”
That is just so retarded! It’s like a bad comedy sketch.
Bkmrk
No, loud whistles attract the attention of gun sights.
“Of course, there will be a learning curve,” said the West Hollywood faggot.
Never truer words spoken.
This is video proof that liberals are pro-crime.
