Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass called to remove "obstacles" for new police recruits and pledged to root out officers with ties to "right-wing domestic extremist organizations." Bass is looking to remove "obstacles" for police recruits who fail to initially qualify for training as a means of further diversifying the LAPD, according to a summary of her public safety goals obtained by Fox News Digital – but police union leaders are questioning the move. (Snip) "We think that particular provision or that goal or that idea is dangerous," Tom Saggau, Los Angeles Police Protective League (LAPPL) spokesperson, told Fox News Digital.

Did we not see the fruits of lowering standards in the case of Tyree Nichols in Memphis?

Scorpion units come to LA. The LA gangs will come to view the police as another gang. It brings the police down to the gang's level.

OK, I'll admit it -- I left LA about 18 months ago because I thought I saw the writing on the wall.
How could I miss it, it was writ LARGE.
Went back once to make sure I had been right, very depressing. Everything looked worn and used up,
The beautiful California is gone and I didn't want to have to leave. Had to.
Now this, with the cops.

This is the PLAN, nation wide. Both military services and civilian law enforcement ranks will be filled with the army of illegals that now roam Americas streets. Democrat controlled states are giving voting rights to the invaders as well as driver licenses.

I did not know there are any right wingers left in LA, extreme or otherwise. It appears to be a typical left wing @@@pot

This is how you get the type of "police" who pulverized Tyre Nichols.

But left wind extremist will be welcomed. After all, that's why they had to lower the standards.

"One provision says a deputy mayor will work in conjunction with a "third party" to "evaluate the personnel process and identify obstacles to entry for recruits who fail to qualify for training."
Now why would someone fail to qualify as a police recruit unless THEY DON'T QUALIFY? Otherwise, there are millions of potential candidates streaming over the southern border. Pay them cash under the table.

What the LA mayor is angling for is to seriously up the minority population within the LAPD by hiring unqualified police officers. The result of that is bound to be situations like occurred in Memphis recently where five minority police officers killed a minority driver who they contacted through a traffic stop.

It is the "neanderthals" in the LAPD that keep us safe. The new mayor wants pansies in uniform which is just silly.

Agree with other posters that they will become just another gang, but one with full legal protection.
Reed and Malloy were unavailable for comment.

I'll never go to LA just as I'll never visit NYC. Both cities have gotten far too dangerous to venture.

#6 - We beat you out and left in 1999. We saw the writing on the wall after the Rodney King riot, and bought the homestead in '93. It still saddens me to see my beautiful home town become a cess pool of communism. The slow dismantling of the once iconic Los Angeles Police Department is particularly disheartening. My father joined as a WWII vet in 1947 under the great reformer Chief Parker, and served 27 years until 1974. TK served 20 years from 1969-89. I also served as a civilian record clerk on morning watch Central Division Records from 1974-78. That is where I met TK - one of hundreds of PD romances.
In the 1960's the LAPD was known as the best police department in the world and other departments came to learn its standards and practices. In the early 1970's it became the first department to come under a court order "consent decree" that curtailed what officers could do during an arrest. It was the first of dozens. It has been downhill since then. It was that "consent decree" that made my Dad pull the pin at 27 years instead of going for the full 30. He saw the "writing on the wall" back then.

What a brilliant and original idea! How many of us visualized having black cops holding the door open for shoplifters to they could carry their load in both hands? I think LA should hire either Lori Lightfoot or Eric Adams who are experts at implementation of identical programs. I hear that Lightfoot will be available soon. If these people lower the bar any more they will be hiring stray dogs and pigeons very soon.

Didn't they make a movie series about this? "Police Academy," or something like that?
That was a comedy. This won't be.

Yeah, wild eyed extremists.....like people who believe in arresting violent criminals and putting them in prison. Or people who would stop a violent criminal from harming someone by using force, even deadly force if needed.
Can't have anyone interfering with violent crime. Those criminals are critical Dem constituents, gotta support their "chosen lifestyle".
And sane people will move away.

Time for the Conservatize Police to ship out of LA and go some place where they will be allowed to do their job. Let them sit in their own stink in LA.

Forcing Diversity and Equity by setting standards based on the lowest levels achievable by largest number in the community. The opposite of merit, aptitude and ability.
