The @LAPDHollywood station captain @LAPDLurie has already confirmed that officers should provide identification when requested. The officer in this video either:
A) doesn’t know the LAPD rules/policies;
-or-
B) purposely tried to hide identity.
Either one is an indictment.
The @LAPDHollywood station will try to defend these actions by claiming they came back. But that was after some witnesses had already left. And it was clear their return was to prevent interviewing of subjects (as subjects clearly felt intimidation in vid)
Anyway, here is the formal @LAPDHQ Employee Misconduct Complaint. Please provide ‘confirmation of receipt’ within the *required 5 days*.
Here is an alternative view of the incident where the LAPD leaves before allowing themselves to be identified. Notice how they were even screaming to get badge numbers on this side of the street, too.
Anyway, make sure to film the police, y’all.

Reports of the Church of Scientology showing up to a fire relief supply giveaway and stole half of the supplies.
This destructive cult is the biggest bunch of freeloaders you’ll find. They don’t pay any taxes, yet constantly suck away public resources. Now they’ve hit a new low by stealing donations meant for fire victims.
Fuck any politician, department or org that protects them.
Keep an eye out for this cult.
They’re going to constantly try to find ways to weasel themselves into the recovery effort to steal supplies to use as a recruiting tool. Don’t fall for it.
About the only person I trust in LA leadership during this catastrophe is LAFD Chief Crowley.
In the coming days, pay attention to stories about how she’s been sounding the alarm about the LAFD’s dwindling resources. The *receipts* are there.
Crowley has been saying that the LAFD needs to increase staffing by 300+ to get to international standards. Instead Bass recommended cutting staff by 71.
Around 18% of (million dollar) equipment sits in disrepair. Yet they don’t have enough mechanics to keep up with the repairs.
There’s been no urgency to address this. Both Bass & City Council are to blame.
Although, the LAFD funding would have been worse if not for McOsker, Parks & Rodriguez. They’ve led the way in reducing the cuts.
And trust me, I’m no fan of McOsker, Parks or Rodriquez. Real talk.
