Law Enforcement Today:
LOS ANGELES, CA – Months after the news broke that the LAPD was to get their budget cut by up to $150 million, we’re now able to get a better idea of what the cut in funding is going to affect more specifically within the department.
Reportedly several units – including robbery and homicide – are going to be among sects impacted within the LAPD.
Back in June of this year, we at Law Enforcement Today reported on the controversial decision reached by the Los Angeles City Council that aimed at cutting the LAPD budget by up to $150 million.
The move was of course carried out in an effort to appease the protestors clamoring about defunding the police.
So, while little can be done to rectify the act of somewhat defunding the LAPD, there were looming questions about what this defunding would actually look like.
Reports indicate that the LAPD will be engaging in a “broad reorganization aimed at preserving patrol and community engagement functions.” One aspect in this reorganizing is that officers will no longer be responding to minor traffic collisions.
In the event that someone is the victim of a misdemeanor hit-and-run, victims will be encouraged to instead file a police report online. more
Well, bless their hearts. The predators salute this
Sodom by the sea gets better and better.
This ought to turn out well for the city of demons.
Det. Joe Friday unavailable for comment – he’s been furloughed…
I have absolutely no sympathy for a population of slope headed, snot bubble blowing, morons who pull shit like this. None.
Los Angeles, soon to be called Los Caido Angeles
“It was Monday, November 9, it was smuggy in Los Angeles; we were working the day watch out of homicide. My partner is on extended vacation. The boss is working remotely. My name’s Thursday. And I’m a community listener.”
Reap what you sow, suckers!
The first cost cutting move should be to pay the mayor and shitty council members $1 a year for their services, cut off vehicles, transportation allowances, meal reimbursement, reduce the mayors security detail to zero, allow no personal security for members the council, so they can get down to business.

“Los Angeles, soon to be called Los Caido Angeles”
+1000 for pointing out their downfall and keeping the language choice for the city name consistent at the same time…xD
@extirpates – correct me if I’m wrong, but I think you’re missing the intent of the cuts. It’s not a cut to balance the budget, but rather a cut to weaken the cops and appease the criminal element that dominates the left. Your suggestion wouldn’t accomplish that.
@SNS – 👍
The Trump campaign pretty much nailed it with their ad on calling 911 and getting an answering tree. I lived in Chicago for a year in 2002 in an up and coming River West area and my door was kicked in right in front of my face one evening. Fortunately seeing me shocked the guy and he ran off. I called 911 and they asked if he had a gun and I said I didn’t think so and they said it didn’t qualify for police assistance. If you live in one of these defunding police areas always make sure you say they have a gun, that is the only way they respond.
If I were a criminal, I’d be moving to LA.
@AnonTrooper,
Criminals are actually moving to Ga to fuck up the U.S. Senate too. New legal residents are allow to register to vote in the two run off elections until sometime in December. Why anyone should be allowed to vote in a run off for an election they we not allowed to vote in is beyond me.
California – America’s Predator State.
Tagline for tourism – Cali- What a shit hole!
“…will stop responding to traffic accidents…”
…y’all don’t know what a messed-up thing THIS is.
But you will.
…see, the fire house isn’t always handy to where the cars wreck. Life Squads are not just cruising around the roadways. Most of your fellow drivers don’t have so much as a fire extinguisher handy, and as for letting them between your wife’s legs if she’s about to deliver, well, it’s LA, so use your imagination…
…I can’t tell you how many scenes I rolled up on that the cops got to first because they were already driving and out there near it, that they had pulled someone away from roasting in their car, or kept someone from bleeding to death, or was doing CPR because the accident happened when someone had a heart attack. They mostly didn’t LIKE doing this, and you could hear a LOT of anxiety in it when they told you to “step it up” to a fire or entrapped kid, but there are people I know for a FACT that are walking around today that WOULDN’T be if a cop hadn’t made a timely appearance at a traffic accident, a structure fire, or just some dude choking on a hunk of meat. We used to call the cops “canaries” because of their propensity to go charging into hazardous atmospheres with too much courage and not enough breathable atmosphere, but they DID make a difference, and a POSITIVE one, most times.
And that’s just the NON cop stuff.
People don’t LIKE being hit by other people in car accidents, so tempers do flare, especially if a child is involved, and a LEO is a handy thing to have when one of the drivers goes charging after the other one with a tire iron. Even with one car tensions can be high, and when you’re trying to extract a toddler from the mangled remains of a Impala without doing TOO much extra tearing with that impaled window trim in the side, it’s kinda nice to be able to concentrate and have someone else doing the scene control, keeping freinds, relatives, even looky-lous out of your scene so you can peel jagged metal away from the kid without worrying about some yobbo who’s got a better idea getting gashed as well, or wandering into your gasoline-soaked foreground and lighting a cigarette.
And it’s not going to make deciding fault after the fact any easier, either. Accidents may be because of criminal things like negligence, drugs, an illegal alien etc, etc., and we’re just going to exchange info and I’m gonna HOPE you have both insurance and a willingness to do the right thing? Or that you’re not going to claim you had your entire extended family in the back seat of the car and they all have neck injuries when I get your lawsuit next week, even though you were in the car alone, and me with no witnesses about that?
…you’re going to put a LOT more in court, and with MUCH less usable evidence, too.
…stupid, stupid, stupid.
They know not what they do.
…but they will find out…
I genuinely feel sorry for the people in California but sometimes you just have to learn the hard way. Good luck, Cali, you’re going to need it.
Third world problems.
So I could literally play Grand Theft Auto in L.A.with no consequences.
Sorta’ into L.A. now….
I wonder if TV programs like “NCIS Los Angeles” or “NCIS New Orleans” will reflect the new realities?
Nah, they are both Democrat cities and the alphabet TV stations will continue to follow the Democrat narrative.
I’ve only been there twice, both for business. I never plan on going again.
Does this mean no more speeding tickets as well?
Paying all those taxes for nuthin. Whutta dea!!
So if you think there’s never a cop around when you need one NOW, just wait.
“In the event that someone is the victim of a misdemeanor hit-and-run, victims will be encouraged to instead file a police report online” that we can then ignore.
There. Fixed it.
Are we supposed to notice a difference??
The low-lifes are given a free pass anyway.
SNS, when they say that they will stop responding to traffic accidents, they mean noninjury fender bender type accidents, they will still be dispatched to the type of injury accidents you describe, although with the projected cuts, their beats will become larger, their response times longer and if they do show up it at all it will be long after those injured are already transported.
These cuts will have the desired effect of removing any proactive policing. The good officers will lateral to another agency and those remaining will switch priorities from providing service to simple survival, never putting themselves in any danger, never stopping a crime in progress, waiting after being dispatched until all the action is over, and never ever answering any calls to action unless there is no way to avoid it.
In days past, the beat cop took pride in protecting his beat and those citizens that reside in it, no more, citizens are on their own and the cops prefer to hide, much safer that way.
Unfortunately, YOU morons put these low IQ pavement apes in positions to make budgeting decisions; now you have to live with the terrible consequences you brought upon yourselves. Low IQ pavement apes have no clue about finance and budgeting, do they?
They are not crazy…They know exactly what they are doing…If you haven’t already. read about the Cloward–Piven strategy…This was all laid out decades ago. When these people tell you what they are going to do…believe them….Also look up “Color Revolution”
One of the units that should be cut is the mayor’s protection detail. Hand him a CCW (if he isn’t a prohibited person himself, that is) and tell him he is on his own.
