    This might be the stupidest thing I’ve ever fucking heard wtf

    First of all, why on earth is the LAPD in Paris? Do you not have French cops? Handle it yourself god damn.

    Second, a major international event like the Olympics seems, to me, like a place you would specifically want to disarm the cops, to avoid them murdering someone and shit popping off.

    Third, if I was having a major international event like the Olympics I would certainly want to disarm the LAPD one of the most “shoot first ask questions never” police departments on earth.

      i've heard of cop exchanges when there are international football competitions, to share info on hooligans. But the LAPD needing to be there for the Olympics? Armed? Like, the french have gendarmes.

      Maybe they change their ideals from "shoot all browns" when they are european browns? Or browns rock enough to attend the Olympics? But it's more likey they burn a cross in front of Christian Baptiste's house than do a good job
