To Dr. Noisewater; Mayor Bloomberg from day one started pandering to the so called “community leaders” …crime is down only because of the great work of the NYPD. m

I find it interesting that the lower crime rate has mostly persisted in NYC, while nearby Killadelphia and distant LA are getting hammered. Bloomberg is less confrontational or seemingly egotistical, but I don’t think there’s been much if any of a reversion to pandering to “community leaders” that’s so common elsewhere.

Perhaps Giuliani, the plunger, the 41 shots, etc. was the chemotherapy that killed off NYC’s crime cancer? Maybe that’s just what you have to live with in order to kill the greater evil? So be it.

Perhaps if the LAPD weren’t surrounded by lower primate savages everyday, they wouldn’t need to be a so-called “warrior culture”.

But the LAPD in those days operated on a military mode of policing. They were always a small force but made up for it with discipline. After 1992, it all fell apart. I sent money to Stacy Koon’s family while he was in jail. I had already moved to Orange County but, if I was still in LA then, I would have seen it was time to move. We will see the Hispanic version of Detroit here before they are done with LA. Too bad. It was a beautiful place in 1956; smog and all.

Maybe the United States Army should police L.A..

If they had done so after the 1992 riots, perhaps they would be doing a better job policing Iraq.

If you want to write about Rudy, read “Prince of the City.” He backed Bratton inn the “broken windows” theory of policing and he had Dinkins to show how bad it could get before he took over. He made a mistake letting Bratton go but look at Bratton now.

I moved here in 1956. Talk about a different city ! But the LAPD in those days operated on a military mode of policing. They were always a small force but made up for it with discipline.
