    Apparently, for reals, the LAPD was complaining about being hit by rubber bullets fired by the LA Sheriffs Department during the No Kings protests. And earlier, LASD was gassed by the LAPD because LAPD shot before the sheriffs had their gas masks on.

      It’s actually more about having a competent law enforcement system. The manner of American police is arguably on par with, if not indistinguishable from warlord countries in Africa.
