Karen Bass wrecked LAPD from 10,000 officers down to currently about 8,000. The rumor is it’s actually closer to 7,300. NYPD, by contrast has 33,500!!!!But while our sworn officers have decreased, the command staff doubled? Why?
Unfortunately, Nithya has no plan other than to destroy further. Right now, LAPD is like an upside down triangle with anemic patrol staff. We need to:
-Cut command staff in half
-Juice up patrols & misc units until they can manage the basics (theft, assaults, drugs, etc)
-Put Metro in crime suppression mode
-Full court press against gangs and gang violence
-Let the meat-eaters EAT. We have the best cops in the world, we gotta let them cook
What Nithya is saying here is insane. Criminal aliens can’t be the top priority for LA City government. The safety of the public needs to be the priority. No more bums, drug addicts, illegal street vendors…all the lawlessness needs to end. More cops, not less. More enforcement, not less. We either do the hard things or the hard things are gonna keep doing us.
Councilmember Nithya Raman sat down with ABC7 reporter Josh Haskell for a live interview this morning.
This was Raman's response to Rick Caruso saying he's voting for Karen Bass.
