BIG LA TIMES STORY ON COSTA MESA

The LA TIMES rubs the surface.

MILKY WAY HAS A TWIN

It's about 30 million light years away.

This isn't really a big story about something new, but it has a nice photo of one of billions of spiral galaxies.

'COPS' CREATOR SAYS HE SHOWS MORE WHITE CRIMINALS 'THAN STATISTICALLY WHAT THE TRUTH IS."

Hey, that's also what the CMPD seems to do.

Violent crime is not an equal opportunity employer, no matter what the bigoted anti-white propagandists want you to think.

WITH MAJOR BUDGET CUTS COSTA MESA STILL ALMOST A MILLION BUCKS IN THE HOLE

Maybe it's time to consider outsourcing the police functions.

Many citizens believe we can get better service for less money by having the Sheriff's Department provide such service to the residents of Costa Mesa.

In addition to saving money, it'll be nice to have officers on the streets who don't butt into our local politics and who don't let their personal prejudices dictate their actions.

And, if it doesn't work out, Costa Mesa can always go back to having its own police department in a few years after the bad apples have been cleared out of the present department.

We get contacted by residents all the time who tell us that they just don't trust the CMPD. 

Usually, these residents will then say that they know there are some good officers in the department, but that they just no longer know who is good and who is bad and some feel that the few bad cops have now brought rot to the whole department.

These complaints we hear aren't just recent and they mostly seem to involve officers who have been with the department for years.

You may recall that one of the reasons that Allan Mansoor got involved in local politics was because he couldn't get the CMPD to do anything about the suspected illegal aliens who were disturbing his quiet use of his home that he then owned on the Westside.

Instead of upholding our quality of life laws, some of the cops would show up and give free food to suspected illegal aliens on Thanksgiving.

Then there was the report to the City Council by the CMPD that tried to hide the fact that all of Costa Mesa's seven gangs are Hispanic. 

We still have that report and you can probably find it online.  It was a City Council Study Session Agenda Report dated February 22, 2007 for the meeting of March 13, 2007 with the subject: "Gang Status and Gang Initiative."

In the report, the bias of the CMPD shows in that the department wrote that there are seven local gangs in Costa Mesa. However, nowhere in the report does it use the terms Hispanic, Latino, Mexican, illegal alien. None of these gangs are characterized by race/ethnicity at all in any part of the report.

The ONLY mention of race/ethnicity in the entire report is in a long paragraph that says there are no "white supremacist" gangs in Costa Mesa. But then it goes on to discuss white supremacist gangs.

This hiding of race/ethnicity of real criminals while trying to make it seem that violent street crime is an equal opportunity employer is dangerous and can lull residents into a false sense of security and keep them from being on alert for possible danger. It can also help the criminals avoid capture.

More recently, and as we wrote in an earlier edition of the CM PRESS, there was a shotgun robbery in north Costa Mesa a couple of weeks ago, but the CMPD refuses to release a description of the suspects.

The initial claim made to us by the CMPD was that there was no such description because the suspects were covered up with [sweatshirt] hoods. 

Then, in an ooops moment, a CMPD officer wrote us that the suspects were between 18 and 20 years old.

We then asked him how an approximate age could be determined if the victims hadn't seen the faces of the suspects.  We still haven't received an answer.

Wouldn't you like to know that when you call the cops that they are professional and will uphold our laws instead of trying to avoid enforcing them if they involve illegal aliens?

Wouldn't you like to be able to trust the cops who we pay so well and who we have empowered to run around our streets with uniforms, guns and badges?

Wouldn't you like to know that if a cop stops you, it's for a legitimate reason and that he hasn't profiled and targeted you because of your race, your religion or your politics and that he isn't just trying to harass and intimidate you?

Wouldn't you like to see the cops treat everyone the same and give full descriptions of all outstanding violent criminals on our streets, instead of hiding racial/ethnic descriptions except when the criminals are white?
