I love this: LAPD’s union explicitly says the first thing they’d cut is 911 response times and rape investigations, not the millions they spend on military machinery and spying. They agree with us: their purpose is never protecting communities.

Cutting the #LAPD budget means longer responses to 911 calls; officers calling for backup won’t get it; rape, murder & assault investigations won’t occur or will take forever to complete. An arbitrary cut of $150m will have a huge impact on our community.

For over two months @MayorOfLA and others have been repeating LAPD’s claim that they “inadvertently” gave Ben photographs of “undercovers.” The court ruled that they’ve presented zero actual evidence of that:

The city had an LAPD commander in the courtroom to try and get them to speak on everything but the court denied letting the cop speak. The city did not demonstrate admissible evidence for their writ application. They couldn't come up with any real evidence for this.
