Things aren’t getting better. The system is broken.

the public has a right to know if Kerry Bell is bipolar or schizophrenic

May she rest in peace may the perpetual light shine upon her 🕯️✝️🙏🏽🕊️

Too many robberies, Killing happening lately. Newson needs to hired more officers to patrol every street corner. Also I seen that every street don't have light poles. Is too dark.

Unfortunately, I suspect it will take more tragedies like this to force our “leaders” to abandon the PC BS and do something about the drug addicted mentally ill vagrants who plague our city. Homelessness is not about affordable housing.

As a society we are spiraling down fast! Crime, Homelessness, no respect for law and order. Our current leadership is more concerned with their individual success than solving these issues. We need leadership that will the hard decisions and do the hard work. RIP Sandra.

RIP. Gascon LA has hit rock bottom - you are the problem

I am so sorry for everyone’s loss❤️I don’t know the whole story but I can’t imagine there being an excuse for this this is simply 😢 Terrible;(These things need to stop 🛑

GavinNewsom MayorOfLA good job guys, keep up the good work

Absolutely horrific. My prayers are with her family.

LAPDHQ SHAME!!!!!!!!!

This is why I stopped riding the train to work it was getting scary.

Not a safe country

As a fellow nurse and human being my heart goes out to her and her family. RIP thanks you for your service in health care .

Remember Qwhite Supremacy is the 1 threat to America.

How awful

Senseless! Where is the leadership in California? Crime, homelessness, mental health needs to be a bipartisan priority right now. Stop the fingerpointing & get to work! Or citizens are going to come together & purge. No one wants to live in constant fear coupled up in the house.

Heartbreaking. Our society is breaking down

I know the area around Union Station are NOT good. Not too far from skid row as well, the county needs to really work on fixing this.

Instead of metro officers patrolling the planks and walking through cars they like congregate in groups of four to six away from the train. Metro officer’s are worthless

This is just so sad..

May she RIP. Froma fellow former ED RN. 🕊🌹💔

So tragic and heartbreaking, may she Rest In Peace. I’m sure our D.A. has already released the thug that killed her, why is this being allowed in our community, I’m beyond outraged!!!

💔

Shame on you cbs for not calling out Hilda Solis on her BS. She vowed to remove armed police from the metro and significantly decrease or remove police a few months ago. Now she blows smoke up your ass that she want to push for an enhanced safety plan wtf is that. Soft news org
