More Proof LAPD Pacific Division Is Useless



Saturday June 26, 2021 7:24pm - A Venice resident was hit in the head from behind in a random attack on the boardwalk. The attacker did not flee the scene and instead returned to a homeless encampment nearby and sat down with a bottle of alcohol. No arrests were made.

The video below is the victimn trying to get help from the LAPD, unfortunetly as was we have witnessed several times, they are useless AF.





This is just like that time on the Shacked Instagram Stories, when an older surfer was hit on the foot by a glass bottle a homeless man threw at him. The LAPD officers refused to even acknowledge the attacker exist, even though the surfer was bleeding and the attacker was close by still shouting obscenities at everyone. The LAPD officer just stated that evereyone just needs to avoid going near him, he has a right to be on the boardwalk.

Sunday Fight On Venice Boardwalk



More madness on the Venice Boardwalk. At about 7PM on Sunday, a fight broke out near 800 Ocean Front Walk in Venice. Police showed up to break up the fight, arresting one person when the crowd tried to stop the arrest.

25 more officers then showed up for back up.

Why was the crowd trying to stop the arrest, who knows, but hell, the LAPD will just release the person within the hour anyways, like their useless department always does.

Surfing Perfect Malibu



From Brad Jacobson:

"Surfing Malibu for the first official swell of summer. Surfers were getting rides of 1 minute + long! They were connecting waves from second point all the way to the pier. It was a super fun swell. I haven't filmed Malibu in a long time but this day has me yearning to come back. Thanks for watching. I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll see you on the beach."
