California is a sorry excuse for a state

The questions and statement weren't directed to you. I know nothing about you and frankly don't care to. I won't call you a pin head, I've generally been known to be much more rude. Get over yourself.

Sorry dude. Your right. I apologize. Shouldn't drink and post. I now realize this.

I've done the same, and shouldn't either, you're good with me. You have my respect and it is accepted. Best wishes to you.

"Freethinkers" love to spend other peoples' money, especially windfalls or inheritances.

LAPD has been corrupt and racist for a very long long time.

I was living in L.A. during Rodney King and the riots. The LAPD was a wolf pack! If you ran they were gonna beat you. With the big ass flashlights! The choke hold originated in L.A. Any freeway chase ended in the driver being shot. This was all under Chief Daryl Gates, who was at a black tie fund raiser the night Inglewood burned. After that they got reformed and became a professional police force. But I've been gone 5 years and don't know what they are now.

They are still corrupt and racist. They just hide it better now it's not so much out in the open.

Reed and Malloy seemed pretty much on the up ‘n up..... course I guess they’ve long since retired

Obviously the LAPD is blind to it.
LAPD found no bias in all 1,356 complaints filed against officers

Not according to our intelligence community. It's ok, some people take attacks on our country seriously, some people are fine with it as long as it benefited their "side." You can put your party above country, it's just something you have to live with. I'd rather protect the nation, but that's just me.

Accusing someone of treason is not nice.
Please stick to the points of your argument.

Go home, you're drunk

Personal attack
It's not nice to accuse someone of being drunk.

Well at least every car chase doesn't end in the cops shooting them and every foot chase doesn't end in cops beating the perp with a flashlight. That's what they did when I was there.

Yes I agree the political environment has changed dramatically in my 25 years there. I left in 2012. When I first moved there the governor was Pete Wilson and the Mayor of L.A. was Richard Riordan. After open boarders the Latino population has had 2 or 3 generations to get politicized. A republican couldn't get elected mayor or governor now. It's now national socialists and rich, elite liberals. That's how you get things like the straw ban.

Thank goodness for the straw ban. Now they can move on to getting rid of toothpicks---what a waste of trees
