Quite an alarming look at the rise of murders in LA. Gang problems and how the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq plus the California budget problems are making fighting gangs a major problem.
What did alarm me was the rise in ambushing of police officers. Several weeks ago a kid actually shot a cop who was exiting a government building in broad daylight. When they caught the kid he said he did it to impress a street gang.
That shows you how fucked up things have gotten. We're talking above and beyond fucked up. The LA cops have a bad reputation and maybe it's coming back to haunt them. They've gotta settle this stuff fast or who knows what'll happen next.
