These idiot council members are making all that money, get free cars, perks, cell phones and so do their staff members but we don't have money for more cops.

LAPD targets recruitment as its ranks grow thinner
The department is seeing a decrease in the number of applicants. But it is working hard to meet Bratton's goal of 10,000 cops on the street.
While our regal council members are the nation's best rewarded, we're stuck with this (more from the Breeze article):
Los Angeles has approximately one officer for every 400 residents, while other major cities such as New York, Philadelphia and Chicago have one officer for every 215 residents, according to city statistics.
Look, we had our chance to get more officers and we voted it down. So we'll just have to live with it.
Mayor Hahn: we need more officers.
Voters: fuck off!
Why are you idiots complaining?
There's supposed to be a 1/2 cent sales tax increase on the ballot in 2006 to get more money for the County, but LA gets a big cut of that for Police.
Sad thing is that the academy can only take 300 graduates at at time so no matter how much we pull in, only so much can fit through the academy spigot on the other end.
Just don't tax the water.
William this was proposed long time ago by Hahn. Look at what happened?
Council voted it down, AV was Nay!
AV will gets us a lot more cops.
He promised.
He'll get the money by selling the zoo elephants (and stray kittens), I think. .. or something.
He promised, and he always keeps his word.
