@@kenomouse5494 Not really, the railroad is responsible for securing on it own property, but because the railroads consist of long thin strips of property stretched across the country which are notoriously hard to patrol the Federal government gave them the authority to have their own police forces even though they are a private company. Some have proposed that the railroad should contract with local police and sheriff departments but that would involve having to co-ordinate with thousands of both small and large agencies for the larger railroads like the UP and BNSF which have a presence in twenty to thirty states and this would be a real nightmare. The problem with UP, BNSF (whom I have both worked for) and the other large railroads is the institution of Precision Railroading which was introduced by Hunter Harrison the former president of the CSX Railroad which is a process that seeks to stream line operations by getting rid of unnecessary facilities and employees in an effort to increase revenues and supposedly improve customer service which unfortunately it hasn’t, it’s just angered both long term employees who’ve been let go and delayed customer shipments, but at least some of the company officials have gotten some nice bonus’s for being so clever. What really screwed UP in this part of LA is their dumbass idea to centralize their police force at their West Colton yard which is about 40 miles east of LA so any officer responding to a call has got at least an hours drive before he or she gets to the LA yards. Prior to this brilliant idea and back when I worked for them they had a large police building at the very yard these tracks lead to so response times were fast. So UP shot themselves in their own foot in this instance which was not uncommon for them. Besides, Pete’s got a new born to care for, he doesn’t have time to deal with national issues.

Law enforcement can be crooked too

The big problem behind this is the fact that it's quite literally legal (just a misdemeanor) for stealing less than $950 in goods.... It's so stupid

The only good thing about my recent stay in LA was getting to meet you, Mike. Being stuck there on the streets until my little dog could see a vet was a horrible experience. Human urine and feces was everywhere and I had to stay up all night with my taser to keep my bicycle from getting stolen. So filthy and so dangerous. I'm glad to be out of there now.

It's the Democrat Party in general. It's especially the fact that ONE party has had a near-monopoly grip on power in many of these jurisdictions (for a decade or more), such that, ALL of the elected and appointed enforcement and judicial officials have been put there by ONE party. ....And this party is utterly hostile to the productive elements of society and the middle class in general. Don't believe me? Go and look around the country, and see WHERE stuff like this is happening. Where the two party system is still effectively functioning (and some judicial officials haven't been emplaced to the Democrat party, and the opposition still has some real power), this is not happening.

Cinching a belt about four to ten feet from the base of the trunk helps keep rodents and other wildlife from making a home at the top. The apparatus also discourages domestic animals from reaching new heights. “My cat used the tree as a ladder to get on my roof,” says David Bleistein, president of the Palm Society of Southern California, who installed a metal band to thwart the climbing. “I was afraid a hawk would get her. In the end, a coyote did.”
