A comment on LAPD Surveilled Gaza Protests Using This Social Media Tool. Parent comment
LAPD and LASD aren't both part of any single entity called "Los Angeles" (the city and county of that name being separate entities).
> They're more concerned with being a paramilitary police force versus stopping or preventing neighborhood crime.
That's pretty much true (and foundationally so) of all American local general-jurisdictions police forces.
LASD and LAPD may have problems beyond those endemic to American police agencies, but that isn't one of them.
