I mean, if we apply your reasoning to people

It doesn't rightfully apply to people. With property it makes sense to save $20mil rather then $70k. By the same reasoning if I could save my car or my TV I would save my car. But the police should consider protecting poor individuals from physical harm or death to as important of mission as protecting rich individuals.


Tim, but they didn't.........Beverly Hills was far more important in terms of LA's image than the Vermont/Wilshire corridor.

no matter who pays for the police.

If who pays for the police was the criteria then it would support protecting the wealthy more then the poor because they pay a lot more in taxes. However I don't think "who pays for the police" is a good criteria to use.


I hoping that you misunderstood what I've been saying. Beverly Hills residents and shopowners pay for their police separately from Los Angeles. I can't remember if they have their own police dept or they pay the LA County Sheriff's Dept. for police protection.

The LAPD is paid for by residents and shopowners in Los Angeles. The LAPD went up to B.H. to help the Beverly Hills PD or the Sheriff's Dept protect Beverly Hills while LA shops were burning.
