It’s a well known fact that the LASD deputies run the gangs that influence local drug trades to their benefit. Most of the looting was likely allowed by whatever sheriff’s departments were supposed to monitor the area.I was listening to Last Podcast On The Left's recent stream of the Black Dahlia Murder and one of the in-depth angles they cover is LA's corruption in the 40's(and back farther, and how it effectively never really stopped) but mobsters/gangsters had a culture shock coming to LA from the east & midwest in that they(the criminals) had to pay protection money to the police to operate, it was backwards. The entire police force was corrupt from the top-down, and mayoral officials took kickbacks to give test answers for civil service promotions. It was interesting to listen to, and have already fresh in the back of my mind upon seeing this total mismanagement of the fires this week.
The Black Dahlia Murder was inevitable/unstoppable, but after investigation it remains an unsolved mystery because of the rampant corruption at every level of law enforcement, government, and the private citizens that made & make LA a total hellhole to live in.
