It is hard to fight crime in areas where the citizenry do not report the crime, do not speak to the police and give more power to the bangers than to the cops. The locals in the hoods distrust the cops and the cops reciprocate. They want the cops to protect them, but when they do and someone gets hurt they all scream about police brutality. I agree with Luman, they can clean it up if everyone wants to allow them to do it; but the criminals have more rights than the cops and the victims in the neighborhoods would rather continue to be victims than to stand up and ally with the cops. You get the neighborhood you help create.

Ok so the lets look at LBPD Chief Anthony Batts's career.

10 Homicides so far

1. 250 pound Lady killed by police beanbags

2. Lobstergate

3. Furguson ( home invasion robber )

4. North Long Beach break-ins/ burglaries and strong arm robberies

5. Jay Beeler

6. Pine Ave Shootings, looks like the OK Corral.

7. grade schoolers killing each-other

8. Missing shotguns

9. " Rookie " shoots an un-armed man.

I know, not all cops re bad and yes they do good things and deal with the scum of the earth but how much of our $$ tax money $$ are we going to have to shell out?, that could be spent on job creation or crime prevention. Not another injunction!!
