We're the most understaffed agency in the entire nation.
NYPD has 4 cops for every 1,000 residents.
I have 0.9 cops for every 1,000 residents in LA. And so we're spread far too far.
With that, the crooks know it.
So they have a reasonable expectancy they can do a heinous crime and get away with it, at least in the short term.

We don't want to see a dystopian future where it looks like a scene out of a Mad Max movie.
That future is not one that I'm going to support, so I'm going to do everything I can to push back against it because my job is to get the job done.
