I remember very clearly during the Mayoral debate she said she doesn't want to bring in more police. Well reality is starting to set in now.

Nobody "defunded" the police. The police will only go after high profile crime and suspects. Don't believe the conservative media....

We don't need more "personnel" on the metro. We need more cops. Karen Bass's choice of words really shows her stance on the police. Vote her out.

She should not have been "voted in" in the first place...
Actual police or another lazy "ambassador" program?
I remember a few months back they were hyping about extra security. Whatever happen to that?

. . . We're gettin stabbed and killed out here on transit lines tryin to get to places to survive. . . do something Metro
LA needs to recall their mayor ASAP.
Moves quickly after she fired someone for going public that the cops were attending a golf game rather than protecting the system. This one is ruthless.
Ccw should be more easier to get
LA is a horrible place to live, get out while you can.

Nah that’s exactly what they want, to get their way as usual. How about actually prosecuting the criminals and cut all restrictions on legal gun owners. We don’t need the police we need CCW’s
Here's looking at you DAs and Judges. 🤦♂️
When you see cops at any event like Dodgers stadium, Lakers game, SoFi, the NY subways they stand around in groups talking to each other. They rarely walk around, they stand in groups two all the way up to 10 to 15 like I have seen at games.

When you see State/County/City leaders doing nothing to prevent criminals and mentally ill from being on the streets, these are the types of crimes you get! It ALL starts from the top! If you say that cops are 'standing around and talking' or 'doing nothing'.....who's FAULT is that? If the higher ups(leaders) aren't saying or doing anything to the cops, then what does THAT tell you?
How about actually prosecuting crimes as well? arresting and then releasing because DA office won't prosecute.
What about the idiots that climbed onto the Blue Line train this morning as it was approaching the Historic Broadway Station? I was late to work because of them. Had to walk along the tunnel to get to the platform in order to wait for the train going to 7th St Metro Station. Then I had to wait for the next train going southbound towards Long Beach.
Ohhhh but muh "defund police" is no where to be seen. Where you at?
Having more law enforcement will not fix the root of the issue when the DA and judges are going out of their way to be lenient on the same group of criminals.
Will the DA office enforce the laws?
It's not simply Law Enforcement that is needed when only 30% of the crimes on Metro go un-prosecuted. Once again it's your good friend and DA George Gascon.

The mayor in LA is a Democrat. Of the fifteen city council members 14 are Democrats and 1 is an independent. The Police Chief is hired by city leadership. The DA is a Democrat. The AG is a Democrat. The issues LA is having are not racial. They are cultural, and are nurtured by the Democratic Party. The most recent Republican mayor of LA served from 1993-2001.
You had to do something or else the drivers were going to go on strike
Yes, we need a signal in the phones or wifi ,also more security on the weekends. I ride the E line, and almost every day, there are homeless or drogadicts causing dramas plus some people smoking inside the trains. They should not allow dirty people in the trains that use it as a toilet. Visit the elevators at the western station smells like a public bathroom so gross 😝
I think they need to call the natianla guard. Soldiers with drawn weapons to keep the peace and will make criminals think twice.

True story, I saw a man get murdered, literally beaten to death at a gas station right beside a metro bus stop just a few months ago at 6am. LA is just going full on Gotham nowadays. People need to vote for new leadership in this city because the people in charge now are terrible.

The residents of LA County should vote Nathan Hochman for the next DA. Hopefully, he'll be a lifesaver for that region.
Why don't these victims contact their local community social workers offices? Angelinos defunded the police and gave their budget money to fund more local community social workers offices. Why can't these victims seek safety and security from their local community social workers offices?

Metro is a last resort like the bus. You can't beat driving. The B-Line is like Land of the Lost 🤦
My lifelong dream of mass transit in LA, is still viable. More undercover Officers and security reaction forces if feasible economically
Defund the police! Defund the police! And how's all that defunding the police thing working out for Angelinos NOW?
