Our pastor is friends with some pastors deep in LA, I know one of them and follow him on social media, but even with him, I don't think the LAPD is going to go shut down a primarily Mexican church. Mayor Garcetti doesn't actually have convictions on this (or probably anything else), so there is no way he would risk the optics that would create. Granted some white/asian church meeting in Hollywood or West LA might get made an example of, but even then I don't know. We shall see, as surely some won't comply.

Yeah the LAPD is hard to get a read on in this situation because the recent riots exposed how a lot of folks that start a career in law enforcement take a job with a big city like LA, Seattle, Chicago, Minneapolis, etc because they're easy to get into with few people wanting to stay long term and a huge need for a large police force. As a result many officers just do a 5 years keeping their nose clean and then transfer to a department where they actually want to work and be a cop.

So you could have demotivated cops who don't want to bother doing something so stupid, or you could have demotivated cops who don't want to risk getting fired and figure busting up a church could be easy.

The best solution I think is to stay well away from urban hellscapes. Either that or ask roof koreans to provide church security.
