Ya, and there ain’t gonna be no Lancaster cops neither. That is for certain. These holier than though buffoons are weaned off of meth and cocaine politics and they’re too chicken [removed] to rid this town of illegal drugs, its sources and the users that they are most likely related to. But they sure as hell will rid of the good people that try to make their neighborhood better. It’s easier and safer for them and at the end of the day they can have a drink with their meth-head buddies at their local bar in false bravado while they celebrate their job security. This town was full of eccentric people and now it’s full of foreigner looking methheads that sizes up and gangs up on anything positive and beneficial to Lancaster.

This was a reply meant for Crass even for you….
FOR THE RECORD says
Alby. Stop spewing hatred. Your way off base and have no idea of the inter- workings of Lancaster Sheriff’s Station. This unit is under funded and staffed because of the left leaning politicians. This Station makes more arrest then any Station in L.A. County. It has the Largest area to cover then any other Sheriff Station. Deputies are drug test through the year. Newsome, and Gascon have stripped the Los Angeles County District Attorneys of the power to prosecute people and keep them in jail, only to release within days to reoffend. This Station has one of the highest arrest records of any Station. Gascon’s philosophy of drug dealers is to arrest them, release them and put them drug rehabilitation programs. They get out within days and reoffend.
Alby says
You’re obviously a Lancaster cop because you are saying that my comments of anger and frustration is a “spew of hatred.” Pinkos just like you exaggerate ones saying or doing until your superiority complex kicks in, and then someone is wrongfully arrested, hurt, or dead. That’s hate in disguise. I’ll bet you make more than thirty thousand a year. You’re not underfunded. You just want more than what you don’t deserve. Trying to pay off the family SUV sooner? Trying to send junior to a university? Trying to buy the lady diamonds to score sugar points? Can’t pay off your bar tab after she divorced you? Get an extra job! Like this comedian said, if you’re done writing someone a ticket, then sweep the floors. You just finished arresting someone? Now sweep! Sweep! Besides, Edwards and the national guard can simply tell you to hand over the badges and weapons nicely, get back into civilian population to get a job while they reform Lancaster for the better in no time. Many are realizing that many of you have closets full of skeletons and crusty socks. There are many who can weed out the nonsense legally and shape shift this American city for the better in no time without financial incentive from the government. It is rare when Lancaster police are part of the solution. As long as you’re getting paid, you’ll keep playing “catch and release” till you meet your quota. It’s about job security for you all.
Samuel Maeshack says
The young man was never giving no help the cops just look at the young man and let him die that’s not cool at all.
Ann says
This is an ignorant and irresponsible comment, which continues to fuel the flames of distrust. I strongly doubt that the police did nothing. They likely arrived on scene, saw the numerous gunshots, checked for a pulse, and determined he was already dead. If he was dead, there wasn’t anything they could do!!! They respond to numerous calls for dead people. They know if a person is dead. Unfortunately, in this crap town full of ignorant people, they’ve been physically attacked for not doing anything when the person is already dead, like ODs and cardiac arrests. You should direct your anger at all the gun violence going on here in the AV!
Tim Scott says
Fe must have been dead or the cops would have handcuffed him to ensure their safety until he bled out. They have priorities.
Crass even for you Tim says
Karma – she’s coming
Someday you’re going to need help – and it’s not going to be social services giving it to you
Tim Scott says
Well it sure isn’t gonna be cops. I understand they won’t be helping me, ever. That ship has sailed.
Justice says
As a victim of violence and property crimes- I can honestly say the cops have NEVER helped me. Just like Tim, I would never rely on the cops. AND, just because society is forced to deal with law enforcement, it does not make them “good”. They are human, not gods, and Lord knows they are prone to selfishness, greed, and corruption.
