Defund the police, indeed! LAPD slashes homicide division to just 10 people despite spike in murder rate

[Counselor706]

Los Angeles Police Department homicide detectives are legendary, having investigated some of America’s most notorious cases: the Black Dahlia, the Hillside Strangler, the Onion Field murders, and the Charles Manson family murders to name a few.

But these storied detectives have had their ranks decimated down to just 10 people in the vaulted Robbery Homicide Division due to a “defund the police” mindset that began long before George Floyd was killed in 2020, an LAPD insider told the Washington Examiner.

The most prestigious detective unit in the department formerly numbered about 100 people, with approximately 25 assigned to handle homicides, a decade before Chief Michael Moore took office in 2018, according to one of its former members. And to make matters worse, a crime wave is gripping the city where homicides are at a 15-year high.

"When I come to LA, I’m carrying my gun 24/7 — I’m not going to be a victim,” said the detective, who declined to be named out of fear of repercussions. “It’s a scary time in L.A. I’ve never seen it this bad in my decades as a police officer, not even after the ‘92 riots.”

It won't be long and civilization in L.A. will be dead. The left in that city won't be happy until they turn their city into a combat zone.

There's a whole classic film genre devoted to the premise that LAPD is corrupt and/or useless: Film Noir

The hero is a private detective because everyone know you can't get justice by going to the police.

In 2021 L.A. had 400 murders and 1400 shootings, I'd say those 10 individuals in the homicide division will be swamped and crime will flourish as planned.
