I honestly don't see why anyone would want to be an LA cop.
It's harder than being a cop pretty much anywhere else and everyone hates you, even the people you're trying to protect.
I would just say the city can burn if they love crime so much, which they clearly do.

What's your point?
The point is there's actual deputy gangs in LA. The cops are corrupt.

Yes, but what does this have to do with my comment?
Yeahbut yeahbut yeahbut.
"Other than that, Mr R. King, how was your drive?"
That they're doing a poor job of "trying to protect". They're the threat that people need protection from.
Really? What about gangbangers?
Did you miss the whole 'gang members are cops' thing in the article someone pasted to you? Weird, because they quoted a relevant sentence and you responded to it.
Gangs are the ones that justify cops’ existence, though. Without cops, gangs will just have their way with everyone like they do in Mexico and did in El Salvador.
We experimented with not having cops in CHAZ and gangs started killing people very quickly.
I'm going to block you by the way. You keep following me around and replying to all of my comments adnauseam with useless information. It's very weird.
Goodbye.
Following you around? What?
Guy argues like a pigeon playing chess.
Especially since you can look in this thread and see that I only replied to two of their comments. I guess three including the one after they said they were blocking me.
Don't see the problem as long as everyone consents and gets tested.
Wrap it up.
Ah yes, all the bangers down in the gangs... what will we do about the banging gangs...
Fuck cops.

Use your words.
Didn't need to.
Yes you did, but that's fine if you don't want to.
I don't expect you to articulate your argument because you're not confident in it.
Here we go again, what's your thoughts on gangs in the LAPD? Why was the comment earlier about them existing not part of the conversation? Why are gangs a concern when its not the cops?
They both can be concerns.
Gangs are the ones that justify cops' existence, though. Without cops, gangs will just have their way with everyone like they do in Mexico and did in El Salvador.

Okay, you are answering questions, now what about LA not being the most dangerous city makes it the worst place to be a cop? And why do the cops in LA keep shooting people with non dangerous objects in their hands? Why did you pivot from the questions about police corruption to pointing to gangs when cops are part of that problem?
Sorry, I'm done arguing with you.
It's clear you just want to keep responding, so I'll give you the last response.
Goodbye.
I mean, there isn't much of a conversation if two parties don't have a back and forth.
But hey, you like running from questions I geuss.
Weird, because Los Angeles isn't in this list of the 25 most dangerous cities in America.

You must have been thinking of Memphis, Tennessee or Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Albuquerque seemed alright when I went there, though admittedly there was an eclipse going on at the time which may have influenced my opinions.
They don’t want to protect us bro. That’s why everyone hates the LAPD. Imagine being the victim of a crime and being laughed out of the station. Or getting robbed, and waiting 45 minutes for someone who literally doesn’t give a shit to show up.
Also, as someone pointed out, the only thing they do about gangs is form their own.
