" LAPD and sanitation surprise everyone left on the boardwalk with a Wednesday clean up. They are doing it because of the upcoming super bowl and playoffs and surprisingly wasted more money than normal with this one. Over 10 cops standing around, 12 sanitation workers, and nobody did anything. The business improvement district guy power washed the pagodas after sanitation kicked everyone out, but they are not supposed to clean the boardwalk whatsoever and are paid by property owners separate money to clean around their properties only. They broke major federal laws acting as city employees and misappropriating homelessness funding. This is a federal crime that happens all the time because people here don't care what the city does and apparently like it. FBI is currently investigating the city and it's intentionally wasting homelessness funding, hopefully my reports on it will lead to an indictment or two."

A large number of dead birds were found on the beach in Venice today.

Lifeguards located the dog about 600 yards from shore, secured it on the rescue sled, and transported it back to beach. While rescues like this one sure put a smile on our face, Lifeguards would like to remind beachgoers that dogs are not allowed on LA County Beaches.
