    The Most Corrupt and Incompetent Law Enforcement Organization: The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

      This is a Rex controlled event and has been for years. His way to stroke some of his best suck-ups.

        David Abber…Wow, Blast from the past! I used to spend many crazy Friday nights at the Sand Sailor with friends, after we got off work from Rockwell. Worked at Northrop, also. Captain Beefheart played there too.

          How much did Rex pay Abber after their altercation at 24 Hour Fitness? Another classy Rex moment.

      So, does that mean you are not going to attend? I was going to ask for a ride.

      I am sure there are many more corrupt law enforcement organizations you could find if you poked your head out into the real world. I guarantee you the majority of the folks patrolling your neighborhood just want to do a job and go home. You however seem to think the entire organization, every breathing human being is just there to be corrupt and get revenge on society.

      I do hope you never bother calling them because as in your position, you would never want this scourge in your house. Before you say you will never call, you will when it is too much for you and you need someone to hold your hand.

        I’m sure there were at least one of the Parris brothers there to take a role call and keep the suckups in line. If anybody gets out of line or says anything negative about Rex he will be sure to report them for punishment. This valley is a piece of work.
