the lapd is now offering people $1000 a month in rent.so police can live in the city they serve and protect part is the first such program for the department. it is among the first of its kind in the u.s. kristine divined from a fox affiliate in los angeles spoke to one lapd candidate about why he is interested in joining the department. >> i really hate seeing people become victims of crimes that happen to them and i want to be able to help them in it and navigate them to a better life. courts have our system academy? is about 35 minutes. >> were to go from guardian it's an hour of a driver. quickset is a big difference. >> thanks chris. captain aaron mccranie of lapd joins us now. captain i love this concept. tell us more. how does housing for hires work? >> thank you very much, arthel, having me on. i think this is so important. in los angeles a very competitive salary $71000 to start. however, as everyone knows but can be low but expensive when it comes to housing. being able to offer a bonus incentive over the salary for a period of

he was actually on lapd. but i can tell you that he was on lapd at the same time i was.mes and the description was don't trust him. he won't have your back. so gascon is a chameleon that goes and says and does anything that will gain him power and position. this is no surprise. it's no surprise to anybody that knew him on the job. he was brat en's right-hand man on the big crime reduction and now look at him. when you think about officers, everybody looks as officers making me do something i don't want to. but they put their life on the line every day and they never know when that threat is going to come. i will tell you, the officers right now don't trust their own department to stand behind them because if they take action, they are scrutinized first, not the suspect. this is a problem that you are going to have in all the major cities in this country and you will not take back the streets. you don't have the personnel and you certainly don't have the leadership. nobody believes that somebody will stand behind them if they actually go toe-to-toe with the suspects to ki

not even those from the lapd. had lesley simply left her husband without a word to anyone?seemed unlikely but then her sister aasha was still in the process of learning about lesley's marriage. how bad it really was. how unhappy lesley was. things lesley was apparently telling only their mother. >> the thing about my sister, i think she wanted people to believe she had it all together. she wouldn't tell us about the problems she was having with lyle. >> she had always taken care of you. you're on tv. and doing great and maybe she thought, you know what? i'm not going to break aasha's concentration for a minute. >> definitely. yeah. out of protection. a little bit of pride. >> so perhaps lesley was still alive somewhere and just keeping her head down. it is what vivian was hoping. >> i believed that lesley would come home. i went to sleep every night and imagined i could hear the doorbell ring. i could imagine that there were knocks on the door. i imagined the phone would ring. >> she believed it because vivian knew something that aasha didn't know. something vivian didn't t

the lapd urging the public to come forward with any information.f you're a witness, you're asked to immediately contact the lapd. >> that was carlos herrera reporting for us now to new york where a drug enforcement administration agents made a major drug bust. they seized a record amount of rain bowl rainbow fentanyl, the largest ever in the state recovering 15,000 brightly colored pills. the drugs were hidden inside children's toys, including a lego box. these pills are multicolored and bite-size and they contain a lethal dose of fentanyl. that's according to the dea. just 2 milligrams of the drug can kill a person. >> this is treacherous deception. to market rainbow fentanyl. like candy. this is every parent's worst nightmare. especially the month of october as halloween fast approaches. >> the dea says the pill seized had a street value of over $300,000. the bus just part of an initiative called one pill can kill. the agency says it has confiscated over 10 million fentanyl pills across the nation. we're taking a live look outside right now here

nypd and lapd numbers are not included in the formula.hey have a number, a statistic they can present to the public to show where we are when it comes to the crime in the united states. the news, the preview here, bret, is things are not looking good, numbers continue to show we do have a crime problem in the united states. these numbers look at violent crime and it is ticking up. murders increased from 22,000 to 22,900. 4.3% increase, that's in addition to the murder rate significantly climbing between 2019 and 2020, that's when murders jumped 29.4%. robbery, though, however, decreased 8.9% from 2020 to 2021, perhaps a silver lining there. fbi officials are quick to point out these are estimated numbers, even though they released this report, they don't give that complete picture as you mentioned because of the reporting place, it's a new reporting place in system this year. this is something the fbi hopes will be rectified here in the next few months because all of these cities can voluntarily submit information so they hope to have the

a bunch of business owners met with the lapd a couple days ago what they boiled it down to and what i little section 4118 e like edward which is the basic language of homelessness no sitting lying sleeping spending time on the city sidewalks. the city council not only do they not have the appetite to respect the law they tell police do not enforce 4118 e so the police can't do anything. they have a right to be there per the city council, eric he says these are their possessions if i were to start putting stuff sidewalk two days get a notice to comply. two weeks get hefty fines two weeks after that take me away at the end of a gun in handcuffs. so it's a condition it's a condition that's out of control. it's a condition that the government, our city council and government is actively, actively promoting and the lapd, god bless those guys, they want to do their job. they love you by the way, too jesse. >> i love them let us enforce the law that you wrote. you guys wrote the law, let us enforce it. where does it stop paul, right? they have a house now on wheels. they have they have wash

another saying she feared she would be declared a suppressive person if she went to the lapd and herould have to disown me. she says in 2004 she wrote to scientology's chief justice about the alleged rape and received this letter in reply. the chief justice allegedly writing, you'll have to decide for yourself whether to bring a civil case. the three women say they were subjected to years of harassment from masterson and the church. the church denies that, saying they will not comment on a pending criminal matter. we know the women's slanderous allegations about the church are completely and utterly false. moreover, the women appear to be changing their story yet again. >> the prosecution wanted to make it very clear these women's stories have some kernels of similarities. >> the first thing you see in any of these "me too" cases is m.o. is what people look at, similar patterns of behavior and alleged assault. you keep hearing the same story over and over again, it's going to be hard for the jurors to ignore. >> reporter: all the women say they were initially hesitant to speak to law

hopes of witnesses coming true is the mountain lion has been able to evade lapd and wildlife officials for much of the day. the cougar standoff started around 10 a.m. when the animal was first spotted near brentwood science magnet elementary. this prompted a school lockdown plus street closures. he was laying down and couldn't you couldn't really see where he was until the first helicopter arrived, and then he raised his head up. at least five tranquilizer darts were shot into the cougar over the course of the afternoon, wildlife officials had the animals surrounded. at the northeast corner of brentwood country club for several hours before it was spooked again. the mountain lion galloping over a completely shut down san vicente for slinking into a neighbor's yard. and just before news time the brentwood cougar was captured and went backyard to backyard has started in the front yard, then just kept going back yard. as as you know, in the community, all the backyards connect. this is the most excitement. thank god like there's nothing, you know, horrible happening, and it's kind of just

and he led a similarly dramatic transformation at the lapd during the 2000s at the federal level. commissioner has served with distinction on. the homeland security advisory council, which he now and today he is the executive chairman of the consulting firm teneo risk and the author of the profession, a memoir of community race and the arc of policing in america. i'm proud to say that commissioner bratton has had a long, fruitful relationship with the manhattan institute. his signature policing strategy grew from his intellectual partnership with the late george kelling, the renowned scholar who coauthored the 1982 article that first introduced the concept of broken windows policing to the public kelling and commissioner bratton worked together on a 1994 piece for city journal explaining the nypd strategy for fighting crime, which has proven enormously influential. he's also served as an exceed league generous mentor, collaborator and friend to ralph. and with that, i'll hand it over to commissioner bratton. to first the commercial don't walk one to buy this book. it is extraordin

it's just wrong economy and a straight straight over in los angeles on tuesday, the lapd arrested a manor stabbing his own mom and dog with a samurai sword. >> where are you at? where he wet? >> put it down. >> put it down. >> put it down. >> put it down. >> drop the sword. drop the sword. >> drop the sword. >> overhearing drop the sword now in 2022. in arkansas a high-speed chase went very wrong after cops tasered the suspect. it turned out he had a gas canister on him. >> you know things are bad because even morning joe is saying there's a massive crime wave and the radical west don't know. >> when you have cops quitting left and right because they don't feel like they're not going to risk their lives so they can arrest people who are going to be out on the street the next day. too aggressive on crime in places like philadelphia and ne york are so extraordinarily clueless. >> if you ask joe biden, he and the left have done a great job. >> how big of an issue is crime? >> think it's a real issue. and i think we have a real record on that. >> hears his record on crime. everybody that ha

you have the lapd's things sometimes you have to walk away maybe it's good advice but you can't walkaway when they storm your store they come after you in the subway or summer room tw can't walk away and that's what scares people think is so much still to come when california women becomes a letter while sight for sore eyes and that th 90 -year-old grandchildren know exactly who the favorites are today's best viral videos are next >> it's at that time first up into its viral videos animal what brookfield zoo and esther cargoes that barbara getting halloween treats tortoises porcupines goats and bears of m among the animals getting to enjoy pumpkins. at the zoo likes to give unfamiliar items to the animals for enrichment purposes. >> the red light and so long it's so infuriating and is a a crime i'd like to press charges press charges on a few. >> against against the city for kidnapping me and holding me hostage. >> i see here here we all know the pain of sitting among red light especially when you have somewhere to be about the city of atlanta is reminding people that 911 calls are f

. >> so, on the crime issue, you and your opponent resisted calls to call the lapd's budget.ed for dang intervention workers, sending unarmed workers. you both want to hire hundreds more police officers. so, how would you be different? well, we actually are significantly different because i believe that in certain neighborhoods that want to see an increased police presence, you can get officers off of desk duty and have them on the streets. at the same time, we do need to hire because we've had a number of officers retire. i call for a serious investment in crime prevention and intervention strategies. my opponent calls for hiring 1,500 police officers and makes a commitment to do that when he knows we can't even fill a class now. if we were to hire 1,500 officers, the city would go bankrupt. so, what he is proposing are programs and examples of things that he absolutely knows are not achievable. and i think that's disingenuous. and it's just a way of conning people. and i don't think that's the right thing to do right now when the city is in a crisis at all. >> congresswoman

>> that's another story, which is, you know, when i was with the lapd i owned the surveillance teamsnd went out on a lot of surveillances and to do a surveillance in a crowded city with a lot of people and hustle and bustle, that's something you can get away with. try and follow a guy in the predawn hours when no one else is around and do that undetected. the stockton police did an incredible job of being able to track him. two stories we have to figure out here. number one, from the first murder, fred, 448 days before the next one and the next one and the neckxt one. was he in jail, was something else going on? that's one thing we have to figure out. the other story will be told by the gun, which is you have one live witness, no one else who can identify him coming face to face, but if the ballistics in all of these cases match each other, match that gun, that is going to be the single strongest piece of evidence in this arrest >> will it matter to try to piece together what was taking place in that space of time? you know, that elapsed between, you know, the apparent attacks last y

the problem we don't have data from nypd, lapd, phoenix pd, some of those other big cities. that next year. the departments are not required to submit. they plan to next year. the authorities are hoping next year in 2023 we will have a much better picture what happens in 2022 clearly numbers not moving if it the right direction. elizabeth: clearly an important story, david spunt. nation for that. >> you're welcome. elizabeth: welcome joe gamaldi, national vice president of the fraternal order of police. we'll move on, great to have you on. the parents of 9/11 first responder, an emt veteran, lieutenant allison russo, they reportedly confront new york mayor adams at her wake. she was stabbed 19 times in a random unprovoked attack. they're saying mayor get control of the city's spiraling crime crisis. can he do it? >> well you know bravo to lieutenant russo's parent for confronting mayor adams, basically saying what we've all been saying, which we have to get this city under control. we have to get all of our urban communities uncontrol. how many people, how many victims do we

i worked with him in the lapd but he gave us a clue when he personally thanked one of the 911 operators, which tells us a little bit about how police -- it indicates there may have been a phone call that paul pelosi could have gotten to a telephone. now, when you have a congressional leader, that house is going to have alarms, cameras, all of that is installed by the capitol police. the way we would have set it up, it would have had a panic button to sent a call for help out. so layers of security. we'll have to dig deeper to find out how it worked. for the hammer, that tells us a couple things. one characteristics, that's high risk. you break into the house with a hammer, use it as a weapon. it's not a gun. it's very personal. it up close. 2:30 in the morning you're probably expecting your victim or victims to be sleeping. but it shows a lot of anger in terms of the weapon you chose. it has a blunt end and sharp end so it givers us insight into the suspect. >> that is if he brought the hammer in. if the report is updated, let me know. police came in and saw both of them holding the ham

the lapd chief michel moore spoke about what officials there plan to do about it. >> so what is doing about this? this hate group, this extremist group is to identify those groups to understand their origins, to watch him carefully monitor and aggressively prosecute when they cross a line that makes their actions are crying. >> the anti-defamation league reported at i semitism in america is at an all time high in 20. 22. >> now to our 4 zone forecast and we give you a live look at sfo on this friday night. maybe want to get away. pick a plane, maybe a road trip. blart said the weather for a this should be a good 1, 2, weather-wise. it looks like a >> great weather around the state that's going to change we head into next week. so yeah, here we go. we've got some nice weather outside tonight. getting a little cool in spots. of course, this time of year, those temperatures are going to be dropping off in a hurry after the sun sets. and tonight, no exception more the clouds going to be rolling in. i think a little bit over the weekend that will keep the temperatures up just a tad. but st

officer's family claims the 5 year veteran was killed after investigating an alleged rape involving 4 lapd officers. and they say one of those officers was there when tipping was fatally injured. >> we have uncovered evidence, though, that houston tipping may have been. >> harmed and later died as a result. a retaliation as a whistleblower. >> chief moore has called those accusations baseless and disappointing in an internal review. investigators say they found no evidence or net of negligence or intentional wrongdoing. actor alec baldwin has reached a settlement with the family of the cinematographer killed on the rest movie set in 2021, the family of hutchins filed a wrongful death suit over the shooting that happened in october of 2021. after alec baldwin discharged a prop gun after he was told by production the weapon was, quote, cold. matthew hutchins, the widower says because they reached a settlement with the actor, the case will now be dismissed. they also revealed that filming will resume in january of 2023 and he will be an executive producer on that film and receive a portion of

anybody home after i called the city in the lapd to see what if anything, is being done to help or clean police did comment. talk to the man. they have been here before. they described him as young healthy. they offered to connect him with services. he declined. they left. summing up the municipal code. the only enforcement is if a person is blocking the sidewalk, active driveway or business. city councilman mitchell farrell says he hopes this can be resolved with what are called care plus teams, which pair comprehensive outreach with sanitation and cleaning services needed to make the public right of way safe and accessible. meantime across the street with jamila ali and rant shaw runs city vibes. coffee compassion is still on the menu . he hasn't bothered anyone and honestly, i'm glad that it's right there because i honestly feel safer with him there. for some reason, i don't know why. it's just he feels like it feels like he's like he knows what he's doing. and he's not here to hurt anyone, unfortunately, have to make us a little bit uncomfortable for them to be comfortable, and i thi

another saying she feared she would be declared a suppressive person if she went to the lapd and hershe wrote to scientology's chief justice getting this letter in reply, the chief justice saying she would have to decide for yourself whether to bring a civil case. >> from the very beginning, the church of scientology has taken moves in the courts to stop them from speaking out. >> reporter: a scientology spokesperson telling abc news the church has no policy prohibiting or discouraging members from reporting criminal conduct of scientologists or of anyone to law enforcement. quite the opposite, church policy explicitly demands scientologists abide by all laws of the land. in september masterson filing a motion to exclude all evidence related to the church of scientology calling it irrelevant. but the judge this week saying, while this is not going to be a trial on scientology she'll allow some evidence to be presented. >> for danny masterson everything is at stake here. this case will define him. >> now, in addition to the criminal case, the accusers are suing both masterson and the
