  • Bratton doen't know what's he'tlaking about. We have terroist living in LA right now, there called Gangsters. The couter-Terrorism team should just be called the gang task force. For bratton to say how we can prevent terrorism when terrorism is going on in his backyard is stupid. Take care of the gangsters I mean Terrorist here first, then think about other terrorist.

  • If something does happen in SoCal, it's likely to be narco related.

  • Sounds good, tho worrisome that LA has only 300 people devoted to anti-terror and relies on the community so heavily -- how's it reaching out to the general public, beyond temples, HOAs to those who don't belong to groups? Prevention instead of racing into the field after the fact makes sense but is opposite of how they're planning to redeploy cops out of "low violent crime areas" that have high property crimes -- property crimes lead to more numbers and more violent crime and make people feel unsafe and worse about the city. Is there a community program for property crimes too?
