“an absolute guarantee this type of LAPD abuse never occurs again”

Abuse?!? What, having a few officers in training observing your group? Is it abusive to look at people nowadays?

One guy “ran” at you before stopping and turning around?

Of course you guys (paranoid) got defensive and started an altercation and some words were exchanged.

There was no abuse by LAPD (or MEChA)! Time to move on!

In an effort to achieve full disclosure; my publisher pays another person another 6 figure salary to review my work. This person is called an editor.

Pfft,

I have a 6 figure job. I’m an author of 4 best sellers, 2 NY Times top ten, and 1 London’s Group “Book of the Year” award.

Why is articulation important? First, as a campus newspaper it is implied that people who read its articles and post here are in the process of receiving – or has received – a college education. If “true dude” does not fit in the above category, then so be it.

I’m only going to say it once: the written message is not clear when it is not articulated clearly (those with boorish attitudes are free to think otherwise and I really don’t care). Lack of oral and written communication skills in the real world = lack of well-paying job opportunities and job promotion, and the freshman year of college is where those skills are honed. You know, I’d like to see someone submit a resume written in the “true dude” style – I’ll eat an entire humble pie once I receive word that the person has landed a six-figure salary with it on the first try.

With that said, Arizona has its own share of pros and cons (but that’s a story for another time). If the “true dude” sentiment reflects 50% of the population in Los Angeles, what prevents this “true dude” as well as that 50% from being true to themselves and doing something about circumstances they don’t like? What prevents the “true dude” and the 50% from uprooting themselves and leaving to a county that is implied to be so much better? Where is this “website” that the “true dude” mentions as evidence – with a conspicuously missing URL – that would reveal more about the “true dude” viewpoint?

So there’s my response to the “true dude” message. What do you have to say in return?

Half of Los Angeles, myself included, wished that Joe Arapio would be named Chief of Police for the LAPD.

If Mr. Arapio was in charge of the LAPD, then Los Angeles would no longer be gang capital of the world. Gangs such as MS-13 and MM would be gone, and the LAPD 100 Most Wanted List would be trimmed down to just 12 people. Don’t believe me? Check the website.

Thank you, MECHA, for showing your true colors. You always have — and always will be — an unwelcome part of society.

I translated what “true dude” said so people can focus on his or her message, not his or her grammar. I think he or she makes some good points. Unfortunately, it is easier to attack his or her grammar than attack his or her message.

Find out who the third party was that got the contract to “train” the police, and investigate them. Yet another example of the government giving policing authority to private businesses? So they now run schools, prisons and police? The takeover is almost complete. Our minds are next on their list — if it isn’t too late already.

“Gestapo tactics”: Truly another foolish comment from the Left. You don’t like when some nutball holds up an Obama-Hitler sign at an Obama “townhall”; we don’t like it either. Both are equally foolish.

I think that “true dude” needs to chill out and brush up on the college-level writing skills. You’d gain a little more credibility … dude.

Myself and half of Los Angeles wishes that Joe Arpaio was LAPD Cheif. LA would not longer be the gang capital of the world, MS-13 would be gone, MM would be gone, and the LAPD 100 Most wanted would be down to 12. Don’t beleive me? Check the website. Thank you MECHA for showing your true colors. You always have, and always will be an unwelcomed part of society.
