Los Angeles On High Alert As LAPD Back On Regular Duty

[jfisch]

LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles residents are reportedly on edge today following reports that hundreds of armed and extremely dangerous Los Angeles Police Department officers are resuming regular patrolling duties after the conclusion of Tuesday’s manhunt for rogue ex-cop Christopher Dorner. “I mean, just knowing they’re out there is terrifying—how can I feel safe when these maniacs are on the loose in my neighborhood?” said a visibly rattled Ashley Stillson, 38, who explained that she strictly observed the city’s advisory to avoid the historically violent, unpredictable predators by going out in groups and avoiding the streets entirely after nightfall. “These guys are volatile and, in many cases, mentally unstable. Something needs to be done about them because I fear for my family knowing these sick people are still at large.” At press time, sources reported the tense mood in L.A. had brightened considerably after news of a serial rapist diverted numerous LAPD officers to a sprawling manhunt in nearby San Bernardino.

The threat to the public from Christopher Dorner has ended.

The threat to the public from the LAPD continues unabated...

 

[S&W645]

The PD shot nearly as many innocent people as Dorner did.

Its real hard to believe that they are that bad. I am sure that there are some bad apples, as there are with any group of humans. But really?

Folks do note that this is in the Onion, right?

Yes, but it still rings true.

Imagine how jumpy and trigger happy they would be if about a million hardcore patriotic gun owners take a stand...

They'd be all in the bunker with the chief.

Like during the riots when they refused to patrol or answer calls.

There is truth in all humor they say!!

You might want to check into how much money the City of Los Angeles has paid out in judgments and settlements to the victims of the LAPD.

That's not "a few bad apples". It's a poisoned orchard.

Recall that Daryl Gates TWICE withdrew the police in the face of mass unrest, leaving the public at large to fend for themselves.
