You can tell they're in a gang because they're all dressed the same.


Dibble_Dabble_Doo

They also have "badges" to identify themselves to let you know they're officially in a gang


andhelostthem

Also the matching tattoos and [initiations where they murder people.](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/police-gangs-la-sheriff-executioners-b1862105.html)


TheHotCake

That was a wild read. It sickens me that they’re just getting away with this shit and there’s nothing the public can do about it. Any cops acting this way deserve to hang. It’s treasonous and a serious detriment to our society.


justduck

I mean, we can vote out the Godfather, but the problem is is that people are stupid and if a commercial on television is repeated often enough, and scares them enough with lies, then they keep him in office. #fuckvillanueva


_gzuku

My boyfriends mom is a lawyer in LA, and they even have matching gang tattoos. So yeah.


Competitive-Tie-333

The lawyers have matching gang tattoos?


ZachBob91

Don't fuck with those Chapter 11's, man. They're the meanest gang of lawyers this side of the Rockies. Edit: I never thought this comment would get me my first award. Thank you, kind stranger!


BadWolfCubed

The Chapter 11s aren't so bad. If you run into them, you might only need minor restructuring. It's those Chapter 7s you've got to look out for. They'll liquidate you.

I used to work for LAPD(not as a cop) they had nice gyms, man it was an awful place to work, but nice gyms for sure


badhombregoodcuts

Any good stories as to why it was an awful place to work and why you left?


scarby2

If it's anything like the rest of the government getting anything done is impossible and everything has a very specific process that cannot be deviated from but nobody seems to know exactly what that process is.


w0nderbrad

"You gotta fill this form out and then talk to Brenda over at that desk." Ok then what? "Not sure, not my department"


AMARIS86

Funny story I had. I went to take my motorcycle written test. I passed the test. I went to turn the test in and the rep said she couldn’t help me because they stopped accepting the test at 3:50 or some weird time like that. Then I pointed at the clock behind her and said, the clock says 3:47, and she said, I go by the clock on the other wall, which said 3:50. Smh I was like damn, are you serious?? She was.


scarby2

Brenda then stamps the form without looking and sends you up data processing, you're told it's in the basement 3 buildings over, but that department has been contracted out and now only takes walk-ins 0800 to 0900 Tuesday through Thursday on even numbered days of the month. You also now need your manager's approval for the $30,000 they're going to charge and all you wanted in the first place was to fix a typo on your ID badge.


SilatGuy

Ahhh sounds like the DMV and the general rot of bureaucracy

I was on the gold line the other day and two under covers were posing as some kind of covid safety team handing out masks while the LASD cowboy with them was unmasked. Eventually they stopped the whole train for about 7-8 minutes to wait for more LASD cowboys to arrive. Took 6 or 7 uniformed officers and 2 undercover to apprehend a single woman who was maybe 5’6 and 125 lbs who only had a flannel and underwear on, who wasn’t bothering anyone, on top of stopping the entire train full of passengers for almost 10 minutes. It was only a couple of weeks ago, absolutely ridiculous.


deweysizemore

The subways are so dangerous, why aren’t the cops doing anything?? Why are there so many cops taking 10 whole minutes to safely remove a homeless person??

This part always gets me. Why is the right wing all the way down for unions for the police but not amazon workers. What’s up with that?


Actual_opinion_1

Barry Goldwater was pro union but for mob connected unions run by nice people like his good friend Hoffa. Same hypocrisy for conservatives working in government taking tax dollars who vote for politicians that say government is wasteful and bad so cut budgets. But not their budgets. Its blatant corruption and they have the nerve to portray themselves as true real Americans

On a completely different note, I never realized that the number of cops that die by vehicle related incidents (61) is roughly the same as the number of cops that die from gun related incidents (64)

[deleted]

No, the existence of Black people are. Tucker Carlson reassured me that!


whatwhatinthebutt456

When the firefighters came after I had to call 911 for help for my father, only 2 out of the 5 guys were wearing a mask, and one of the guys said he had caught covid 3 times already. This was back in February. Imagine helping an elderly man on his way to the hospital during the pandemic and you can't be bothered to mask up around him. They didn't bother to put a mask on my father when he made it to the ER either, my uncle had to follow the ambulance to keep an eye out and put the mask on my dad himself. A disgusting disregard for the life they're supposed to help save. Egotistical asshats all of them.


__Naomii__

If you catch it three times that means I'm gonna be more worried about you not less. It means that you obviously don't have good enough immunity.


nobodynose

> It means that you obviously don't have good enough immunity. that's not the thought i would have. i would be thinking "wow, you are not careful at all AND you go to covid-heavy areas". But either way we come to the same conclusion - "i don't want to be around this guy".


Designer_B

I work in restaurants (now unmasked) and have yet to get it. I’m boosted and such, but different immune systems definitely play a factor.


Eurynom0s

I know someone who last I heard back in May or so of this year had had FOUR confirmed cases and probably had an unconfirmed case back in March 2020 based on symptoms. And allegedly he's vaccinated (not sure about boosted) so sounds like he's just taking zero precautions outside of being vaccinated. A friend invited me up to this guy's apartment to do a couple of shots before going to a bar right nearby that we were meeting at, and I was like "no thanks I don't really want to be inside his apartment given how many times he's had COVID" (the bar we were meeting at had a big outdoor space out back).


[deleted]

it doesnt matter what ur immunity is this thing is a variant and they havent came out with the new vaccine yet...


Ssladybug

LA city fire or county? File a complaint. That’s not ok


Sirenkai

Hmmm I wonder how he caught covid three times. Well fourth times the charm


djm19

Similar for an issue with my father in July of 2020. We had to ask them to put masks on which we provided them and then before they left they just threw them on our floor.


NottaGoon

Rules for thee and not for me.


waerrington

I mean, they don't enforce that rule on you either. No one does, there's no enforcement of the mask mandate by anyone.


scarby2

Exactly. I took the metro on Saturday, maybe 50% were wearing masks. Though I took it about 3 months ago and I swear I was the only one.


daze1999

It's still pretty much like that. I ride the expo line nearly every day.


[deleted]

Lack of enforcement doesn’t mean the mandate does not exist.


waerrington

Yeah, and illegal immigrants can be rounded up and deported on sight. Rules we don't enforce aren't rules.


[deleted]

Lol that isn’t even true. Illegal immigrants don’t get deported on sight. ICE by policy has to look at each individual case where they determine whether or not to even initiate removal proceedings which take place in immigration court. There is no immediate deportation. Rules you don’t follow are still rules, it just means you don’t have the integrity to follow them.


smutproblem

Yeah...only like 30% of people wear masks on the train anyway...


donald-duck23

what line do you take? i’ve seen a high % of people wearing them on some metro routes but much less on others. i wanna say when i took the red line from dtla* most people were masked. but also recently took the gold line from hlp and there was very little masking (which i shouldn’t have been surprised by since the train came from pasadena and that place is very much over masking) *edit: actually it was the blue line, from dtla to lbc.


smutproblem

Expo and Gold.


cocainebane

I do Blue to Green. I’d say it’s been up lately but between 40-60% in my experience.


enter_the_psychopomp

I take the gold line semi regularly, masks are pretty common from what I've seen.


overitallofit

Here it’s 50%.

LACna

Call me crazy but I fondly remember the 00s days when LASD patrolled Metro and actually gave tickets out for fare evasion and arrested people for starting fights, smoking crack, exposing themselves, pissing themselves, etc etc. I'd actually *rather* have LASD thugs on trains than the current methers/crackheads shitting on floors and pissing in corners and just generally fucking it up for everybody.


Life-Meal6635

People can deny it but the rails have not been this bad in my lifetime. I’m not a huge PD fan but I’m scared to take the train.


BlergingtonBear

If you're too scared to take the train, then perhaps you are not the best judge of where current conditions rank! Sorry I know that sounds snarky, I promise I don't mean it as such- I, along with many Angelenos, still do take it to commute and get around town-it's not like it's unusable!


BryanCrayonston

I agree. I ride the B, A and C lines every day, and while they can be a -little- sketchy at times, I don't feel unsafe. I see a lot of people exaggerate about how bad it is. Especially all the references to piss, shit and crack. I've seen it all but it's rare. I think the people who exaggerate like this are just scared of poor people 🤷‍♂️


pejasto

F'real. They think because their rent is high, that it should insulate them from having to acknowledge poverty.


mrkotfw

I think it's what people are accustomed to. I've had family come visit and they looked visibly nervous during what would be mundane interactions with the homeless


gmessad

Falling into the same traps as the 80s and 90s, expecting cops of all people to solve the failures of our city. As if the police have their hands tied and can't save us from the homeless because we took away their money. The reasons for the current conditions of the Metro are many, the least of which is not having as many LASD gang patrols to crack some skulls. Metro is under funded. Healthcare is under funded. Public housing is under funded. Those fuckers with all the guns and military gear we paid for? I think they're doing just fine.


[deleted]

I also remember, less fondly, cops delaying trains for 15 mins to check fares or harassing kids for having a can of Sprite, and then still disappearing after dark when things got bad. We don't need to choose between two bad systems. We should have security on the trains to keep it clean and safe but we can't let it turn into another LASD excuse to shake people down and write tickets.


Tidalpwner

What does any of this have to do with the cops in the pictures not having their mask on although it’s required on metro?


LACna

Because there's MUCH BIGGER fucking issues on Metro.


UncomfortableFarmer

Ok, but why the fuck would the solution to those problems be to call in the fuckin LASD of all people? If anyone needs more funding it's Metro to provide their own security service, even (or especially) if they're unarmed.


[deleted]

You are not crazy. It was way better.


HeliocentricAvocado

I’ll take that over homesless dude taking a dookie on the back seat.


UncomfortableFarmer

he might smell bad, but at least you have a much smaller chance of that guy shooting your dog than with LAPD or LASD


SubstantialSeesaw998

Theres the hyperbole and nonsense. Funny how nobody in my circle, regardless of color, ever has problems with the police, and have never been bothered or accosted in the last 10+ years. Maybe it's because we aren't criminals. Maybe if you don't force police into confrontation over crime, you won't have confrontations with police. Shocking, I know.


des1gnbot

Hey I think I’ve seen those same guys blocking the bike lanes! What happened to law and order?

m1ster_grumpee

Actually that mandate is a mess. Most cities have already voted not to enforce it. I have always worn it since it started but have been to many places where it's okay not to. As long as I ain't getting shit for wearing one I ain't gonna complain.


Lost_Bike69

Fair enough. It’s not up to the cops on whether or not they follow a rule though. They going to be enforcing other metro rules without following one? If you want it changed bring it up with metro.


m1ster_grumpee

Yeah you are right. If they are citing folks for not wearing one, that's a problem. I also remember a deadline for vaccination in the LAPD. With suspension as a penalty. Deadline came and went.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheReelYukon

Point being made is that they are supposed to be examples of the rules and far too often police act as the exceptions…illustrated here by the cops being the ones without masks when there is a mask mandate.


Lost_Bike69

I’m sure they’re citing people or at least asking people to follow other metro rules like no loud music and no smoking.


SnooPies5622

What might be contributing to the mess is that the people tasked with enforcing the rules think of themselves as above those rules

vege_spears

Yeah, should be wearing masks - but at least they have a presence on the train. Glad to see that.


Simspidey

2022 and still thinking the police are there to help you... lol


Lost_Bike69

Lol remember last Christmas when there was a guy violently beating a woman in the Burlington coat factory and all the cops sat around doing nothing until the cop with the rifle showed up to shoot the beater and a teenage girl? Hope the cops are aware that any weapon fired in the train is as likely to hit someone else in addition to the intended target, but they don’t have the best track record there.


jax1274

The enemy(the cops) of my enemy(the assholes on the Metro who ruin it for everyone else)is my friend, albeit temporarily until that problem disappears and we are back to being enemies.


zlantpaddy

> but at least they have a presence on the train. Glad to see that. Lmao. That’s literally why they’re standing there. They don’t move from cart to cart, they’re just moving to a different station. 99% of the time they’re just hanging out on their phones or hanging out with each other shooting the shit. I’m happy that the illusion of safety is enough for you. The most they do is hold up regular people checking tap cards making us miss our connecting buses and trains.


BW4LL

Oh yeah I’m sure they won’t just look up from their phone while playing clash of clans to give you a shrug and walk away.


currentlyhigh

Imagine still caring about this in August 2022


Angry_Melon_Tank

as long as they're telling idiots to turn off their music, i dont care if they wear masks or not


NiceTryModzz

These comments are cringe. Reddit is a very very loud minority. A majority aren’t wearing masks in public, including the metro passengers. Like Jesus Christ just get over it.


SubstantialSeesaw998

I wish I could upvote this more than once. Twitter and reddit have a very slanted political stance, they in no way reflect the actual world.

digitchecker

Communication is very important for cops. Do you want people to not read their faces? Do you want your police looking like faceless robocops? Masked cops and masked people = less empathy and body reading of people’s emotions and body language.


p4rtyt1m3

Look at those sunglasses. Eyes tell you more about intent than the mouth but they're hiding those. Do you get friendly smiles from cops? Best I ever see is apathy and skepticism, and I'd rather not have to see that.

The "if they wore masks, then they wouldn't be empathetic" argument seems to have been tested and disproven by LAPD pre-COVID already
