"But for much of the two-hour meeting, council members told police Chief Medaria Arradondo that their constituents are seeing and hearing street racing which sometimes results in crashes, brazen daylight carjackings, robberies, assaults and shootings.

No, you don't understand. They plan to end the police department. Someday, but not today. So why is everyone quitting now?
