Btw the money that they keep saying is being held for LAFD's raises are in this "separate account" HASN'T even been transferred to the LAFD's operating budget as of this date!
How do we know all this?

They keep saying "BUT LAFD GOT A RAISE IN NOVEMBER!"
If these fires happened in August or October, would these same City officials then admit that LAFD's budget got cut in July where 61 civilian support positions were eliminated and sworn payroll and expenses were reduced?

Re: LAFD Budget
Seeing City officials in the press ignore the severe impacts of these budget cuts, especially the ones covering for their poor budget decisions to cut a majority of departments' budgets & even AFTER Chief Crowley told them about the impacts these cuts have had, is DISGRACEFUL.

The police union should be paying this.
Taxpayers would pay $17.5 million to Thomas Sierra, who spent more than 21 years in prison after being convicted of a murder he didn't commit based on evidence from Reynaldo Guevara, a former Chicago police detective accused of routinely framing suspects.
Pay $17.5M to Man Who Spent More Than 21 Years in Prison After Being Framed by Disgraced Ex-Detective, City Lawyers Recommend
If approved, it would be the seventh lawsuit filed by Chicagoans who said they were the victims of Reynaldo Guevara’s misconduct to be resolved, at a cost of $78 million to Chicago taxpayers.

Never forget that the phrase "alternative facts" popped up in the FIRST WEEK of the first Trump admin.
Facts are a political liability in a country led by liars
"We're going to get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with community notes, similar to X, starting in the U.S," Mark Zuckerberg announces
He asserts that "the fact-checkers have just been too politically biased, and have destroyed more trust than they've created, especially in the U.S."
