This is totally nuts . The same thing happening several weekends in a row . Shouldn’t there just be police stationed there if it’s obviously an on going thing ?

Then when they show up they are sending only 2-4 police cars ?

So it took them 40 minutes to respond, but they're only counting it as fifteen because that's when more calls came in. And saying they did a pretty good job in spite of arresting only one person and impounding 0 of the vehicles...

The 210 in Sylmar sunday morning has a LOT of tire marks donuts and then again on the 5 near the 118. They must do this on the freeway at 3 in the morning. Still it's terribly dangerous.

Yeah seems like a ridiculous amount of time to respond . Also how would they not be prepared especially the third time . They didn’t see a pattern ?

LAPD is understaffed, and not given a lot of support by the city so they don't really care. Why would they?

But...but...but...I thought the DROP program would prevent them from being understaffed.

I thought the city had close to or over 10,000 officers.
