When I first received this message, I didn’t know what to make of it. There was no profile photo and no posts.
The photo I was sent has since gone viral for all the wrong reasons. It’s social media SLOP at its worst. People with nothing better to do than demonize law enforcement, and frankly, I’m fucking sick of it.
After my initial response, I learned the message came from retired LASD who still has family actively serving on the department. According to this person, the active deputy looks physically ill and is surviving on just two to four hours of sleep every other day. They described working conditions as horrific and said morale is the lowest they have ever seen.
Palmdale, in particular, is still suffering in the aftermath of Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer’s murder outside the station in September 2023. The trauma didn’t end that night. It lingers in a department that is exhausted, understaffed, and struggling - as is every single patrol deputy subjected to these working conditions.
This has to end.
We need @AlexVilanueva33 back as Sheriff of Los Angeles County. Otherwise, LASD will continue down a path of decline that may become impossible to reverse.
I’m not being dramatic. I’m telling you the cold, hard truth. @currentreportla
🚨 JUST IN: Spencer Pratt is now WINDING UP to unleash a RECORDING against Karen Bass or Nithya Raman that would force them to resign
Expose it all, @spencerpratt 🔥
"We have a recording of one of your candidates doing and saying something that would make her resign in shame. So Karen, Nithya, ask yourself, is it possible that one of your employees may have a recording of you doing or saying something that would force you to resign and disgrace?"
LFG!
I am proud to be teaming up with Karen Bass' brother in suing his sister for her reckless negligence that led to the destruction of our homes. I hope their Thanksgiving dinner isn't too awks. I know ours hasn't been the same since last year...
June 30, 2021, the LAPD bomb squad “eyeballed” the weight of illegal fireworks, ignored a teammate’s explicit warning, and packed 39.8 lbs of explosives into a containment vehicle rated for just 15 lbs.
The East 27th Street explosion destroyed homes, injured 17 people, and displaced families. While Central Bureau and Newton Area were left to pick up the pieces, executive accountability was virtually nonexistent:
❌ 0 Firings or Demotions: Not a single officer involved was terminated or demoted.
❌ 10-Day Suspension: The most severe penalty was a single 10-day suspension for “deficient duties.”
❌ The Department went above and beyond to shield the identity of the negligent technicians. Negligence equals privacy, but accusations equal public execution.
The bomb squad reports to the Office of Special Operations (OSO)—an office run by Moore for many years before he handed it to his longtime friend, Assistant Chief Robert Marino. When specialized units operate in isolated power centers, does the chain of command ensure true accountability, or does it serve as a firewall?
This investigation later circumvented the chain of command and handled directly by the Chief’s Office, shielded from true scrutiny.
In upcoming @TheCurrentReport investigations, we dive deep into this structure to examine why the price of operational negligence was paid by the community, Newton Area and Central Bureau rather than the department’s top brass.
THE CHAIN OF COMMAND:
🔹 Chief of Police: Michel Moore (Retired)
🔹 OSO: Assistant Chief Robert Marino (Retired)
🔹 CTSOB: Deputy Chief David Kowalski (Remains in position)
💥 Bomb Squad: Field Technicians & On-Scene Supervisors

@TheKevinDalton The LA Slime has been exposed countless times. One sided stories, biased, hypocritical narratives. They claim to investigate but they have yet to address the millions in fraud with homeless organizations and NPO occurring under their nose.

@TMZ Karmelo Anthony’s family and supporters have displayed nothing but contempt and cruelty towards Austin Metcalf and his family. Watch as I recap the case and go over Jeff Metcalk’s statement. https://t.co/viBkgiQzCZ
Three LASD detectives died in a preventable grenade explosion at the Biscailuz Center in July 2025.
Less than one year later, another powerful blast has employees asking whether the lessons of that tragedy were ever learned.
According to multiple sources, an explosives-related incident on June 5 sent a blast echoing across the Biscailuz complex. Sources familiar with explosives operations say the activity allegedly involved should not have been conducted at the facility, which is not an approved explosives disposal location.
The incident has reignited questions about safety protocols, accountability, leadership, and whether meaningful reforms were ever implemented after the deaths of Detectives Joshua Kelley, Victor Lemus, and William Osborn.
Three detectives are dead. Cal/OSHA findings were issued. Policies were rewritten.
Yet here we are again.

A rule is only as strong as its enforcement.
From council members voting against anti-camping ordinances near schools to city workers prioritizing the removal of neighborhood-funded planters over dangerous encampments,
Los Angeles is providing a cautionary tale of local collapse.
If you want to understand the deep-seated civic frustration behind the latest!
