Avoiding interactions. Being more like Fireman, doing their job, but not being proactive, since every interaction is subject to review.

California getting worried: crime up, arrests down. Income from traffic tickets down.

California: A wonderful location for career criminals.

In 2016, violent crime in Los Angeles increased for the third straight year and was up 38% over the previous two years. Property crime jumped for the second consecutive year, with a 4% rise that was driven by double-digit increases in car-related thefts.

“If police are more cautious about making arrests that might be controversial, making arrests that might elicit protests, then that is a victory,” Abdullah said. “We want them to begin to check themselves.”

Yup... The streets of the Peoples Republic of California are safer now that the only ones being arrested are real criminals: white, non-Hispanic males between the ages of 40 and 65. Abdullah must be proud.

On a serious note, it looks like cops are afraid to arrest anyone that might make a random population of whiny babies get all butt hurt. When will the greater majority of the California population realize that doing good and bending over backwards to make everyone happy is not always one and the same?

They actually did it to themselves with their liberal ideology. I also think that California is finally pricing themselves out of people wanting to live there anymore too. Gov Brown wants to raise taxes again to support more of his pet projects. Their liberal judges are letting criminals out as fast as they get arrested by the police, that doesn't help with police morale either. So yeah I can see the police quitting their jobs and going elsewhere.

Its kind of like watching people build a third world country from scratch.

It's our own, in house version, of the European Union.
