This Week In Local Law Enforcement

Local M.R.A.P. news.
L.A. School Police Dep't. will return grenade launchers but keep rifles,
armored vehicle
If they police like they design websites the kidz are in biiiiig trouble.

In other reports it might appear to the cynical that all the coppers locally may still be suffering the effects of lead poisoning, even as crime, specifically murder, has gone down around them.

Los Angeles Law Enforcement Officers Kill About One Person A Week

From 2000 to 2006, the report says, overall homicides in L.A. County ranged between 1074 and 1231 per year. During that period, officer-involved killings made up between 2.5 and 4.5 percent of that total. However, since 2007, as overall homicide rates have trended downward -- there were 941 total killings in 2007, but only 595 in 2013 -- law enforcement use of deadly force resulting in homicide "doubled to between 4 and 8 percent" of the total, the report reads.
No doubt stodgy & academic report cut up & pre-chewed by a PuffHoor.

Hey, LAPD, 1993 called. They want their web design back.

As well, when I logged in I got this popup: "Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect. Clear browser cache and try again. If the problem persists please contact website author."

Serve, protect, and code shittily!

Police Terror Editor:
Got the very same pop-up. At least they're consistent.
