The Chief and Me

Rummaging around my old photo albums yesterday, I came across the above photo of former Los Angeles Police Department Chief of Police Ed Davis and myself at the Republican State Convention at the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco. The photo was taken in 1978.

Davis went on to become a state senator in the San Fernando Valley. At the time the photo was taken, he was running for governor of California. The photo was taken in his convention hospitality suite.

Those were the days when we had (somewhat) a viable Republican Party in California. Now it is a virtual one-party state run by left-wing lunatics.

LAPD Swings Into Action

The LAPD swung into action last night in clearing out the encampment of the Occupy L.A. protesters at City Hall Park.

The latest is that 200 persons were arrested.

Kudos to the LAPD!

L.A.P.D. Wimps Out

The Los Angeles Police Department announced that Occupy L.A. protesters must de-camp from City Hall's grounds by midnight last night.

The protesters are still there and the LAPD is telling the media that protesters will be moved out "on our timetable."

It looks to me and many others that the non-enforcement of the deadline is a "wimp-out" on the part of the LAPD.

What's the point in setting a deadline and not enforce it?

It has been reported that costs to cities across the country associated with the Occupy Wall Street protests (property damage, law enforcement, etc.) exceeds $13 million.
