    Los Angeles would lose nearly 1,000 police jobs under budget proposal

    Los Angeles would lose nearly 1,000 police jobs under budget proposal
    The cuts would come amid spiking numbers for homicides and shootings, the city's police chief says

    A new budget proposal in Los Angeles issued Friday would cut more than 1,800 city jobs -- including 951 police jobs -- amid a $600 million budget shortfall, according to a report.

    The city already cut $150 million from the Los Angeles Police Department’s budget in July and by next June staffing will be at its lowest level in 12 years, the Los Angeles Times reported.

    Loss of tax revenue due to pandemic.

    At first I thought this might be a story about what the Administration is trying to do with the US Census.

      don't worry, the census will be used by both sides to gerrymander the heck out of a lot of districts, ,


      meanwhile the Biden admin will stroke a check to cover all the issues Cali has,

          It has been done before,

          Most recently to shovel money at farmers who lost their Chinese and Mexican markets.

            Farmers are necessary & constructive members of society, & if they go out of business the whole country suffers; whereas LA is a cesspool of crime, corruption, radicalism that deserves to slide into the Pacific when the Big One comes...soon enough that I can enjoy the spectacle, I hope.

              not a very valid comparison,


              don't see any farmers burning down the hood, or lighting crops on fire

                Well, yeah, but that's because they tend to be conservatives, and if conservatives want something, they work for it, not throw a temper tantrum until someone gives it to them.

                  You mean like tax breaks for corporations for stock buy backs?

                  Conservatives or Liberals don't do anything they can't get FREE from the government.
