UCLA, 8:33 PM:

Maskless. Cops. Everywhere.

I’ve never seen so many maskless LAPD. And I’ve never seen such a high percentage of maskless LAPD.
UCLA 8:38 PM:

Eleven more maskless LAPD. (2/...)
UCLA 8:47 PM:

LAPD cops take pride in being maskless.
UCLA 8:59 PM:

Twelve more maskless LAPD.
UCLA 9:02 PM:

Seven more maskless cops infecting the students.
UCLA 9:10 PM:

These cops appear to be wondering why I’m filming them. To write your asses up, that’s why.
UCLA 8:51 PM:

FIVE maskless LAPD pretend to stand at attention. In reality, its an attack from a hollow square formation. Many mistakenly see this as a defensive tactic. But they’re attacking by deceptively spreading Corona in all directions. Perfidy comes to mind.

The LAPD is waging war on the local media, and it should be a bigger story.
Multiple media present identical credentials, but the LAPD arrested & transported some while releasing others.

There were 182 people arrested ay the Echo park protest. A member of the media was the *last* person released. That was *not* a coincidence. It was a message.
A journalist records police behaving poorly, and then that journalist is the *only person* charged w/failing to disperse — even as there were hundreds of other people in the streets. 😒

The LAPD isn’t trying to hide their intimidation/retaliation. All of us should be outraged. ImageImage

Podkowski with another bad stop. He needs to get the fuck off the street.
Another bad handcuffing. He didn’t even realize I was filming. The occupants said when he realized, Podkowskis whole energy changed. Handcuffs came off quick and him and quintanilla gave a warning then took off.
At least this time he didn’t whisper and tell the kids not to talk to me (like he has in the past).

He’s target #1 for the Brady list. And I think I can make a compelling case. He’s never in-policy. Ever. It’s always shady.

Ive seen only one Hollywood LAPD tonight. The cops haven’t been flooding the Blvd making pretextual stops.

On Friday nights I used to see 5-10 stops with people handcuffed and cars searched. I haven’t seen one of those in weeks.
Hollywood Blvd is full of people. Haven’t seen it this active in a loooong time. Normally there would be multiple cops on every street, swirling around.

Let me find out the task force has been cutdown.
Then again, I took a month break from hunting for stops because I was losing it. But still, just in normal walking around I’m not seeing long discretionary post-stop activity. Just tickets and drive away.

6:17 PM:

His chin is well-protected from COVID. His nose and mouth, less so.
6:20 PM:

Maskless cops everywhere.

From 2013 to 2020:

▪️Inflation rate increased: 11%
▪️LAPD pay increased: 34%

Granted, there’s a slight adjustment with the 2% employee increase but, still, the cops’ pay is increasing at 3X inflation. Why? Who decided cops needed to average $140,00 a year? When does it stop?
At the current rate, LAPD will be averaging $200,000 in pay by the end of the decade.
Our current safety approach: load up w/cops to *react* to crime, instead of focusing on underlying issues that *lead* to crime.

If we used this approach w/cancer, we’d pull money away from research, preventative care, early detection, etc, and focus almost exclusively on chemo.

Been conducting an informal poll where I ask people how much they think the average LAPD makes. Going to get a sample of 100 people, and come up w/ an average.

So far, most think LAPD cops average $45,000-$65,000 annually. When I tell the average is $129,000, they’re stunned.
From what I’m reading, this year there will be $1.75B spent on LAPD pay. With 12,000 total employees (10,000 sworn officers) that works out to an average of $145,000 per LAPD employee.

And they want MORE money?
In past week, I’ve looked up pay for 20+ cops. Only *three* were paid less than $100,000 in 2019 (one was the cop who pointed gun at @ShotOn35mm).

The “kid” cop I confront in this video was paid either $113,000 or $123,000 in 2019 (two cops w/his name).
