“My message to anyone thinking about coming to Los Angeles, especially during the holiday season, is don’t.”

The head of the Los Angeles Police Department’s union issued a dire warning to visitors. In an interview Wednesday, Jamie McBride of the Police Protective League warned tourists against visiting the city amid a surge in violent crime. He emphasized they simply cannot “guarantee your safety” as things have gotten out of control.
“I’ve said it to people before, it’s like that movie “Purge,” explained McBride. “You know, instead of 24-hours to commit your, these bad people have 365 days to commit whatever they want.”
However, LAPD Chief Michael Moore disagrees, reassuring the public that the spike in crime is contained and being dealt with accordingly.
