If only cops had some sort of uniform to distinguish them from paramilitary or military forces. It'd be unfortunate if cops didn't look like they were about to storm Fallujah.

Same as the original post is a snip that is mostly likely out of context — but was used as background by the news channel to have LAPD discussing vehicle damage by rioters. (Not a good look their LAPD PA team, and probably should have talked about what the B roll etc was to be used for that). .
Correct. It has been confirmed that no Mil have been used in LE roles at this point.

Well down on the Mexican America border at certain places and times, Fallujah is an accurate synonym.
Similarly there are legitimate times that LEO’s should be able to hide their faces to prevent their identities being known.
Counter Narcotics against Cartels being the easiest one to hold out as a reason.
But wearing masks to shoot reporters (more than one) with less lethal launchers isn’t one.

Well the Kremlins parrot also promised stuff at her confirmation hearing too - but.Something he promised not to do during his confirmation hearing. Of course this is also the guy who said that people shouldn't take medical advice from him.

Couldn't resist
Chat GPT gives it a 7/10 on the "Likelihood of Russian Disinformation Influence" scale based on the question: "Please assess the content from this video signs of Russian disinformation or misinformation influences, and provide a rating out of 10 of how likely it is to be influenced: "
Summary of the Video's Key Messages
- Warning of nuclear war and framing modern superweapons as catastrophic.
- Criticizing political elites who use bomb shelters while escalating tensions.
- Advocating for public pressure to halt nuclear escalation and "demand peace."
Potential Russian Disinformation Signals
Feature Description Alignment with Kremlin themes Emphasizing the risk of nuclear annihilation if Western leaders continue tough actions against Russia mirrors Russian messaging aimed at deterring NATO support for Ukraine dni.gov+15thesun.co.uk+15youtube.com+15. Elite manipulation narrative Criticizing leaders for preparing for disaster while pushing conflict aligns with the Russian “elites versus everyone else” trope . Amplification on Russian media Gabbard has been prominently featured on Russia-1, and clips of Tucker Carlson and her are selectively amplified to reinforce Kremlin narratives . Recurring echo of Russian claims Gabbard has previously promoted Russia-aligned arguments—like the "biolab" or NATO-provocation narratives—that have been flagged as Russian propaganda . Anti-establishment, populist framing Portraying war as a tool of elites, not the public, echoes populist tactics common in Russian influence operations .
Likelihood of Russian Disinformation Influence: 7/10
- Strong signals: The focus on nuclear fear, anti-elite sentiment, and amplified presence on Russian media are congruent with Russian disinformation strategies.
- Contextual profile: Gabbard’s history of echoing Russia-aligned talking points—on biolabs and NATO—reinforces the likelihood that this video is influenced by Russian propaganda.
- Complex motivations: While the message holds genuine anti-war merit, its framing could synchronously align with Kremlin objectives to diminish Western resolve.
This video exhibits notable overlap with well-documented Russian influence tactics—especially the fear of nuclear escalation, anti-elite framing, and amplification via Russian outlets. Given Gabbard’s track record of occasionally echoing Russian narratives, there's a high likelihood (around 7/10) that Russian disinformation tactics are at play.

7/10 is pretty good when you consider Russia has been actively poisoning the information wells that (all) AI pull from.

I'm surprised LAPD is still driving Crown Victoria interceptors. They haven't been made for 14 years.

Probably a good reason for the uniforms to want to kick the crap out of it
Curious if it’s really old B roll.
Zooming in on some of the other cars - there are a lot of bullet holes in them. So probably footage from any other weekend in LA back when the CV’s where in service.

That was my thought. I know my former service got permission to 'over buy' when the production line was closing, but it still only bought a handful of extra years. Municipals don't put on the same miles as deployed, but still . . .Probably a good reason for the uniforms to want to kick the crap out of it
