Quote of the Day: Police Chief Bratton Outs Lindsay Lohan

KNBC caught up with LAPD Chief Bill Bratton, who explained why he thinks a city ordinance controlling the movement of paparazzi is unnecessary:

“If you notice, since Britney started wearing clothes and behaving; Paris is out of town not bothering anybody, thank god; and, evidently, Lindsay Lohan has gone gay, we don’t seem to have much of an issue.”

Bratton interrupted his workout — he was still sweaty on camera — because, he told the station, an earlier KNBC report with Councilman Dennis Zine (who’s pushing the new rules) pissed him off.

The LAPD’s Big Boy Tricycles

Flickr user Discarted, who took the above pics, is aghast at the LAPD’s use of these goofy T3 Motions on Hollywood sidewalks.

Discarted asks:

1. Why are our monthly trash fees increasing to $38 when LAPD has the money to buy ridiculous things like big boy tricycles?
2. Why can’t these cops patrol Hollywood Blvd on foot(among the people I might add) instead of wasting money on crap like this, and acting all high and mighty 2 feet above us.
3. Why are teachers being let go, but LAPD has the money to buy some big wheels soaked in HGH.
4. How can a GIANT MACHINE like this be allowed on crowded sidewalks, thus, causing even more congestion? For instance, see those baby stroller wheels on the left side of the frame. A woman had to pull her child and stroller out of the way so these 3 wheeled monstrosities could roll by.
5. Do you think these machines actually create even more animosity between the LA people and the LAPD?

As well as 11 more questions. Those look like fun vehicles to ride — but, as Discarted notes, the LAPD would probably harrass any civilian riding around on sidewalks on such a vehicle.
