Everyone of us has heard, during some crime or violent act, police and sheriff's get on TV and radio and ask for the help (eyes and ears) of everyday people in helping to catch the bad guys. They admit they can't do it all by themselves (and they are right) and seek the help from everyone - and not just from citizens. Commonly heard: "See something; say something." "Call us!!" Parts of large police departments across the country even have "Community Policing" sections.

And all it takes to overturn the good will between the police and citizens - the cruel policies of the Trump administration, encouraged by the pathologically-vindictive and cruel Stephen Miller, and authoritarian thug Tom Homan. In all of a single day - it can go to shit!

And now it has. Trump has given police departments a shit sandwich they now have to eat.

LAPD wants out, and the best way - blame those really responsible - Trump and his shitty administration of vulgarians.
