      See part of why I have so much of a gripe with liberals is this sort of mentality here. California is one of the most solidly blue states in the country. Since you didn’t defend it on the merits, it seems you agree the choice I described in my post was not great, correct?

Care to point to the federal and/or state laws that just hamstring the benevolent liberals of LA and force them to increase the police budget by 160 million dollars? Laws that apparently can’t be challenged, or circumvented by the liberals in those positions, since they would certainly do so if they could, right??
