Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

What's your point?
The point is there's actual deputy gangs in LA. The cops are corrupt.

Yes, but what does this have to do with my comment?
Yeahbut yeahbut yeahbut.
"Other than that, Mr R. King, how was your drive?"
That they're doing a poor job of "trying to protect". They're the threat that people need protection from.
Really? What about gangbangers?
Did you miss the whole 'gang members are cops' thing in the article someone pasted to you? Weird, because they quoted a relevant sentence and you responded to it.
Gangs are the ones that justify cops’ existence, though. Without cops, gangs will just have their way with everyone like they do in Mexico and did in El Salvador.
We experimented with not having cops in CHAZ and gangs started killing people very quickly.
I'm going to block you by the way. You keep following me around and replying to all of my comments adnauseam with useless information. It's very weird.
Goodbye.
Following you around? What?
Guy argues like a pigeon playing chess.
Especially since you can look in this thread and see that I only replied to two of their comments. I guess three including the one after they said they were blocking me.
Ah yes, all the bangers down in the gangs... what will we do about the banging gangs...
Don't see the problem as long as everyone consents and gets tested.
Wrap it up.
Fuck cops.

Use your words.
Didn't need to.
Yes you did, but that's fine if you don't want to.
I don't expect you to articulate your argument because you're not confident in it.
Here we go again, what's your thoughts on gangs in the LAPD? Why was the comment earlier about them existing not part of the conversation? Why are gangs a concern when its not the cops?
They both can be concerns.
Gangs are the ones that justify cops' existence, though. Without cops, gangs will just have their way with everyone like they do in Mexico and did in El Salvador.

Okay, you are answering questions, now what about LA not being the most dangerous city makes it the worst place to be a cop? And why do the cops in LA keep shooting people with non dangerous objects in their hands? Why did you pivot from the questions about police corruption to pointing to gangs when cops are part of that problem?
Sorry, I'm done arguing with you.
It's clear you just want to keep responding, so I'll give you the last response.
Goodbye.
I mean, there isn't much of a conversation if two parties don't have a back and forth.
But hey, you like running from questions I geuss.
