#OTD in 2016:

Mayor Garcetti: “And you must be the Bride.”

Patrice: “I am. Patrice Perry. Well at least for the next few minutes, anyway.”

Mayor Garcetti: “And where's your family?”

Patrice: “Well that was always gonna be a little bit of a problem because Louie arrested my Granddaughter for murder. It's how we met.”

Mayor Garcetti: “Oh. Well, I haven't heard that one before. By the way, where is the Lieutenant?”

Mike: “Everyone says ‘the Lieutenant’ like there's only one.”

Provenza: “Sorry! I'm so sorry, but since I'll never be as beautiful as my Bride, I thought I better dress up as much as I could so I could be seen with her in public. Flynn. Flynn.”

Patrice: “Louie, you look amazing.”

Provenza: “Well that’s because I’m amazed.”

Mayor Garcetti: “Okay everybody, let’s take a seat and get started.”

BLM LA leads “Black Xmas” to protest Amazon and Capitalism. Even though LA hospital ICUs are at 0% capacity and it is now the global epicenter of COVID infections and deaths, Marina Del Rey mall (and other malls) is still open for shoppers. The government’s pandemic response continues to prioritize capitalism over human lives.

The city has continued street sweeps (displacing houseless residents), parking fines (financially burdening houseless residents), and over 12,000 promised rooms remain empty to over 45,000 houseless people.
