LA police lose confidence in mayor!

[LA Times] LAPD union decries Garcetti’s ‘killers’ comment. He says he wasn’t talking about police

Officials with the Los Angeles police union assailed Mayor Eric Garcetti on Friday for comments he made about cutting the LAPD budget, saying police officers have lost confidence in the mayor’s ability to lead the city after days of demonstrations.

Speaking at the First African Methodist Episcopal Church in South Los Angeles on Thursday, Garcetti said that his proposal to reduce LAPD spending and shift the savings to minority communities was getting attention from mayors across the country.

“That’s exactly the point,” he said. “It starts someplace, and we say we are going to be who we want to be, or we’re going to continue being the killers that we are.”

A Garcetti aide later told The Times that the “killers” remark referred to police agencies across the country.

#13  The wealthy have their own hired guns. The "poor" have armed themselves as well.

The law-abiding middle-class is screwed. Again.
