Anti gun activists love to say: “you don’t need a gun because the police will protect you.”

In the last two weeks we have seen a mountain of evidence from the Broward County Sheriff why that isn’t true.

Fortunately for the LAPD, the massive cluster-fuck of cowardice and incompetence out of the BSO has been all over the news.

Why fortunately?

‘They terrorized them.’ Two LAPD cops plead no contest to raping women while on duty.

WOW!!!  Which is worse, four cops standing around listening to kids get murdered or “two cops were accused of raping women in alleys, apartments – and their unmarked police car.”  I’m really having a hard time answering that rhetorical question.

James Christopher Nichols, 46, and Luis Gustavo Valenzuela, 45, former Los Angeles Police Department partners in the Hollywood Division, pleaded no contest Monday to two counts each of forcible rape and forcible oral copulation, reported the Los Angeles Daily News. They received 25-year prison sentences and must register as sex offenders in a plea deal to avoid the possibility of serving life in prison.

Nichols and Valenzuela were accused of attacking four women between 2008 and 2011, reported KABC. The women, ages 19 to 34, were involved in narcotics investigations, and the LAPD officers forced the women to have sex with them to avoid jail time or being exposed as police informants, court documents say.

At least one fellow LAPD officer called them out on this publicly.

“How dare they. They wore a badge to protect people and instead they terrorized them,” Detective Carla Zuniga, one of the lead investigators in the case, told the Los Angeles Times. “They tarnished the public trust. People trust the police. Every time something like this happens, we have to walk into the community and say, ‘No, that’s not us.’ ”

Between the BSO and LAPD we have a group of people who will watch a massacre happen then rape the survivors.

I know there are good cops who run towards the danger with the intention of helping people.  But that does not negate the need for self reliance and personal responsibility.
