A Los Angeles Police Department detective is warning people not to come to the city as incidents of smash-and-grab and follow-home robberies have risen in the area recently.
Jamie McBride is also the director of the Los Angeles Police Protective League. In an appearance on FOX News Monday, McBride told anchors that he's, “telling people ‘don’t visit because we don't think we can keep you safe right now,'” comparing Los Angeles to the movie The Purge, “but instead of 24 hours to commit your crime, they have 365 days.”
McBride blamed the crime surge on things like Proposition 47, which changed sentencing guidelines, as well as the state's zero-bail policy, which he said puts criminals back on the street, “faster than the officers can finish the report.”
