In San Francisco this was because people stopped reporting crimes since the cops didn't help. Unsure of LA

Prove it. Show me evidence that this is true, and not just a politically-motivated sound bite from one group criticizing another in media.

Well shoplifting is too common in SF now because people don't report crimes like that anymore. I'll give you one example, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr-kGYTNaxc

If they are comfortable stealing on camera, expect worse there.

This video does nothing to support that crimes are no longer being reported at any rate differently than prior years.

Anecdotal, are you calling my friends liars?
