What Do LAPD Officers Want To Hide?

Los Angeles police officers removed antennas from police cars in several predominantly Black neighborhoods to disable the recording equipment and avoid being monitored while on duty, according to an inspection by LAPD investigators.
The department review found about half of the 80 cars in the Southeast division—which includes Watts and the Jordan Downs and Nickerson Gardens housing projects—were missing the antennas that help capture what officers say in the field. The review discovered at least 10 more cars in nearby divisions also had antennas removed.
Now why would they possibly do that?  We all know the LAPD are completely honest.  Right? 

Nothing like this would ever happen, right?
Eight Los Angeles police officers who opened fire on a mother and daughter delivering newspapers during the manhunt for a rogue ex-officer violated the department’s policy of using deadly force, officials said.
Trust the gov't. They're there to help.

*Headdesk* Moments

Murder in a nearby town:
CHARLESTON -- A man was arrested Monday morning for allegedly fatally shooting a woman during an incident that apparently took place at her home on the north side of Charleston.
Well we all know these things are rarely spur of the moment and this is true again in this case:
Larry A. Steeples has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the shooting death of Gina L. Giberson. The killing marked at least the fifth incident involving Steeples and Giberson reported to police since November....
In February, Steeples pleaded guilty to a reduced charge in a case in which he was accused of hitting Giberson with a belt and detaining her by holding her to the ground. The two-year conditional discharge sentence he received included a no-contact requirement.
Steeples was then arrested again last month for allegedly hitting Giberson on March 16. Court records indicate she obtained an order of protection against him two days later and a hearing to determine if the order was to remain in place had been scheduled for Tuesday.
So the usual routine.  Here's the headdesk:
Giberson was also reportedly present at the Lefty's Holler tavern in Charleston on the night of March 30 when police say Steeples suffered a knife wound during a fight with another man....
 After the incident, Giberson and Steeples reportedly left the tavern together.
 No contact ruling.  OOP.  But she went to a bar and left w/ him. 

*sigh*  Is there any hope for our species?

"He Was A Good Boy"

These stories always make me shake my head in disbelief. 
“The police pulled a gun like he was going to shoot him too, telling him to back up,” said Veronique Jones, the victim’s cousin. “He was just laying there. He didn’t have no weapon or nothing. He was just trying to hop a gate.”
“He never posed a threat or anything,” said friend Jay White. “He had a warrant of his arrest that he knew of…so maybe that’s why he took off running.”
Yep. "Trying to get his life together" so he runs from the cops.  And how do his friends and family honor him?  By posting pictures of him. 

Like these:



Well that's not bad.  Many of us like posting pictures posing w/ guns, right even ignoring the various 'rules' breaking here. 

From the Sun Times:
Police said a Glock semi-automatic handgun — with a laser sight and an extended high-capacity magazine — was found at the scene.
Hmmm. Kind of like this one?




Now I don't know if that's the exact gun or not but I'm going to hazard a guess this 20 yr old did not have a valid FOID, did not legally purchase any of the various firearms pictured, nor did he have a concealed carry permit. 

But the family is going to back this 'good boy' 100% no matter the facts.

H/t to GSL.

Sloooooowwwwwwww

That's the only way to describe the time creep at the gun show this weekend. Sat.  morning things were jamming (hats, for some reason.... hats) then..... it stopped..... and didn't get started again.  Went back today and got a lot of reading done.

Hopefully next weekend in Tuscola will do better.
