Open Thread for Sunday

In the race to find a reason to oppose Jamiel's Law local politicians try to point to the validity of Special Order 40 by saying that the move was none other than the brainchild of controversial former LAPD Chief Daryl Gates. It appears Gates is no longer on the Special Order 40 train. Though he feels that fighting gangs requires a far more holistic approach than just Jamiel's Law (and I don't think Walter Moore or Jamiel Shaw, Sr. would disagree with that), Gates says Special Order 40 "has been following me all these years" and "was written at a different time in (the city's) history."

In other news related to Gates one of our readers noted that the former Chief received cheers at the funeral for slain Officer Randall Simmons (like Jamiel he too murdered by illegal aliens) "a slap" to current Chief William Bratton.

Gates was extremely popular with the troops. They give him standing ovations everywhere he appears. Why? Because he wasn't a kiss ass or political as the previous chief's have been. First and foremost were his officers and he didn't let anyone criticize. He stood up for them regardless of political bullshit. Too bad the following Chief's have become so political they can't wipe their butts without approval from antonio

It's interesting to note in modern timethat just about every other Chief (not counting the temporary ones in-between) has been pro-community policing.

Parker - against it
Davis - for it; created it in LA
Gates - against it
Williams - for it; expanded it big time
Parks - against it, took it apart
Bratton - says he's for it and tries to be the poster boy for it but it appears to be languishing. Bratton is even more arrogant than Gates was

Michael Higby, you have no shame, and even less credibility. Simmons was murdered by a US CITIZEN.

I feel sorry for Joe Mailander, who has Don Quackers using Joe's Blog to rant, rant and rant some more about Michael Higby.

I wonder how many comments Don Quackers has tried to post up here, only to find his new enemy Big Mike Higby at the gate?

California does not give licenses to illegals, much less TRUCKERS LICENSES. Mayor Sam doesn't have the liberals going crazy on JMs blog. But they sure are laughing their asses off at his mountain of mistakes.

Edwin was the son of parents that were granted amnesty as a result of the war in El Salvador (which U.S. financed). He was born in the states and sadly had a mental illness in which at the end he took the lives of his own family and a wonderful officer. Nothing to do with been an illegal alien.

Surprisingly, the LA sheriffs dept has voluntarily formed part of the ICE enforcement, rather than asking LAPD for answers, shouldn't the focus be on who released a killer into the LA streets?
