From A Silent Observer
As an Independent, non-Republican and non-Democrat, I see what's going on in Los Angeles as both sad and funny.
Sad that the constituents of the City of Los Angeles, the LA County and the State of California get to have front row seats to the pandering antics of their elected officials and the aftermath of their decisions.
Funny, because we really reap what we sow (or who we vote in).
Man, the press releases of President Trump, Governor Newsom, Mayor Bass and other LA Officials who want to join in the limelight are just crazy. And they are all obviously and unapologetically pandering to their supporters and using manipulative tactics to sway public opinion. This is like watching a movie or a TV series.
I am almost out of words to explain or justify how those who support these selfish politicians can continue to listen and believe the sincerity of their words and not be able to see their hidden agenda.
My heart bleeds for the undocumented aliens in Los Angeles who are honest and law abiding people, law abiding other than the fact that they are in the US illegally.
My mind cannot comprehend those who do not support the arrest of undocumented aliens who have committed and are committing serious criminal acts and have outstanding arrest warrants.
Let us listen to these politicians rhetoric but without our personal biases.
And let us stop pointing fingers.
Every politician involved are at fault.
Law enforcement and public officials can do their jobs only when they all are able to work together and when they aren't prioritizing their party's and their individual interests.
In the meantime, we the public are watching Los Angeles getting trashed everyday.
ICE and local law enforcement should sit down and find a mutually agreed plan of action. And they should all work together.
Politicians of both parties should stop having press releases but instead hold close door meetings with one another and find common ground. Is there really nobody who wants to do the right thing?
Constituents should petition their local officials to change the laws that affect them. And they should stop voting in the same useless politicians and only vote those who deserve their trust.
Yes another little thing we ought to know by now, or at least before we take sides or open our mouth.
