Opinion: Can LAPD Chief Michel Moore finally get serious about crime in Los Angeles?
People move to Los Angeles from all over the world for the weather, glitz, glamour and a Hollywood lifestyle that only the City of Angels can offer.
On March 24 of last year, LAPD Chief Michel Moore told Angelenos to leave their flashy jewelry and cars at home. So, let me get this straight — With armed robberies at an all-time high, Los Angeles residents are being warned by LAPD not to go out in public while prominently displaying lots of expensive jewelry.We’re also being advised not to drive expensive-looking cars, which would explain the uptick in Prius sales.
At an LAPD press conference on Jan. 12 of this year, the public was told to leave literally nothing visible in the car. “Absolutely, they’ll even break a window to get a bottle of water so they can recycle its container, whether it’s aluminum or plastic,” added Capt. Elaine Morales.And most recently, a restaurant in Sherman Oaks announced that they will no longer accept cash, after being burglarized for the seventh time in as many months.
