I know everyone is probably sick of thinking about things to do with this subject by now, but just a quick history lesson: remember the time the LAPD indiscriminately raided two entire apartment buildings, and Police caused massive property damage (including smashed furniture, holes punched in walls, and destruction of family photos) and sprayed graffiti messages such as LAPD Rules and Rollin 30s Die. In addition, Dozens of residents from the apartments and surrounding neighborhood were rounded up. Many were humiliated or beaten, but none was charged with a crime. The raid netted fewer than six ounces of marijuana and less than an ounce of cocaine. Like, I dont have particularly high expectations of police conduct, but theres something about the image of the police just smashing their way into peoples houses and spraypainting LAPD RULES on the walls that stays with me.
