You must be smoking the smae thing WestSideJesse is! One to gang violence? Hardly. As someone who works in LE and has worked gangs in that and many other areas, that is simply not true. Ever hear of Hoover Crips? If you haven't, then you have had your head buried deep into the sand, because they hail from your very area. And I have been to multiple homicides all throughout that area. Now that I think about it, you seem like an Obama supporter.....letting the facts slip by just to try and help your own cause.

****? He's been in office less than a year and he's not responsible for everything that happens. Plus look at all the crap he has to clean up because of Bush. Notice the DOW? Notice how home sales are increasing? Even if you did you will, of course, fail to attribute it to Obama.

Mitch, I completely agreed you your post until I got to the, "The police and the phony politicians are pretty much interested in getting more power and raising revenue for their cities." Such a comment made my realize that you are just like all the others who hide behind a computer and talk jibberish about the police. If you had a pair you'd quit your carwash job and join. If you haven't worn the uniform, you do not know what it is like, so keep your comments to yourself before you bite the hand that "serves" you.

I agree with Mitch. I think they point is, who really cares about whether the police are good, bad or indifferent. They cannot PROTECT you from crime. They can chase bad people and write reports. Thats about it.
How about empowering citizens to take care of themselves? This is done by ensuring that LAW-abiding citizens are armed, trained, and knowledgeable of the law. The police hate this, because their union lobby is strong and only measure success by the number of sworn officers on the force. So if you live in the city of Hawthorne, only 100 people have the ability to to "protect" you (at any given time, its half that). Feel safe now? Enjoy being a victim.

Robert, ever hear of Sir Robert Peel? His 7th tenant states:
"Police, at all times, should maintain a relationship with the public that gives
reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and the public
are the police, the police being only members of the public who are paid to
give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the
interests of community welfare and existence."
You are out of line in stating that police unions would be upset by a well trained, armed citizenship. It has nothing to do with police unions, as police work would continue regardless. In fact, I think you will find that most officers would love to see a well trained and armed citizen dumping a bad guy prior to their arrival. You are right, the police can not be everywhere, and as Sir Robert Peel indicated over 100 years ago, it is the duty of ALL citizens (of which the police are part of) to contribute to the communities welfare and existence! Still, how many people in the ghetto areas of LA will step up and do their part???? Very few. Thus, they continue to live in the conditions they do. If they want change, they need to step up and help themselves and get involved. Blogging isn't going to chase away gang members.

Let me know how you got your CCW approved by the Hawthorne Chief of Police.
Really? They won't give you one? That's funny. I thought Robert Peel said citizens are the police? Sure hard to protect yourself from armed thugs with a 100 year old philosophy book.
