Meanwhile, a LAPD detective is warning tourists to stay out of Los Angeles, comparing the city to a scene from The Purge. Jamie McBride, the director of the Los Angeles Police Protective League, told FOX News he’s telling people “don’t visit because we don’t think we can keep you safe right now.”
When comparing Los Angeles to the 2013 horror film, he said, “Instead of 24 hours to commit your crime, they have 365 days.”
Fellow Los Angeles rappers G Perico and The Game echoed McBride’s sentiments on social media, and suggested the City of Angels has been growing increasingly violent.
