Don't disagree at all, but the DA is an elected position, so influence is limited.

Faith wasn't perfect by any stretch, but she wouldn't be putting up with this BS.

I want to apologize for being so combative today. I had a rough day at the office and this was an easy avenue to air my frustrations. Typically, I'm very level headed when it comes to this stuff. Today was the exception.

Sorry, metroplex board.
All good. Hope tomorrow is better.

I know but damn some heavy influence needs to be used here. Like a full court press from Mayor and Council, but they are all Democrats so that is wishful thinking.

Mayor Johnson during the campaign, scoffing at Griggs assertions that we need to address public safety:

"We need to stop alarming people by falsely alerting them we are in a public safety "crisis".

YIKES. Sounds pretty stupid in hindsight.
We aren't in a crisis. We have a clear spike in specific communities with specific individuals. Concerning and need of significant attention? Yes. Crisis? No.

Oh, and we had a nutball who didn't hurt anyone today.


What constitutes a crisis?

Wide spread impact across. A good example would be if your department loses too many more officers.

So since we are down 900 officers from where we should be, is it a crisis?

I thought the magic number was 1000...but at any rate, I'm not playing semantics with you. We don't have a "murder crisis", and Griggs was an ass for painting it as such. He'll have time to think about it now.

The magic number is 3900 officers. We are at 3000 if you include the recruits in the academy. So 900-1000 down. Btw, rumor is that Hall is fired. 2nd hand from a city council member.
