LAPD Top Cop: Thank God Lindsay's Gay!

LAPD Police Chief William Bratton told KNBC TV there's no need for laws against the paparazzi anymore, since Britney's sane again, Paris is M.I.A., and Lindsay's living a quiet life in Lebanon.

Bratton says he'll oppose the L.A. City Council proposal to regulate pappers.

16. The LAPD never enforced the law in the first place. How does going shopping or out to a place to eat represent bad behavior on the part of anyone? Yes the PaPs have a right to photo away but they do not have the right to block someones path or create a public safety hazard. The reason the new laws are being proposed is that the LAPD does not enforce basic public safety laws at all.

17. No 10. It stops them from following her because let's face it, men don't mind fantasing about Lesbos kissing and making out but they don't want anything to do with them. That's why Lindsey the Lez Lohan will now go the way of the girl from "Men in Trees." By the way, WHAT IS her name? See what I mean? Lindsey the Lez Lohan was on her way to becoming a sex symbol but not now. Lesbians aren't ever going to be anyone's sex symbol.

pncmsing;

" men don't fantasize about women kissing and don't want to have anything to do with them "

surely you jest;

my triangle ALWAYS includes at least
1 extra female performing at all times.

truthfully, most women in my world that are
attractive, MUST partake with other women or
they're NOT even considered worthy of approaching.......

24. There probably already are laws on the books to contriol thiis but just aren't enforced. Bratton is tasked with enforcing them but isn't a law maker. His opposition no doubt comes from a place of not wanting more to do on top of the nothing he is doing now.

It's a shame really, since the paps are on hand to capture every detail of a celeb's life, but no one captures these paps sitting around drinking for hours in front of a celeb's home and then hopping into cars to follow them all over hell in that state. Nobody is interested in pix of drunken paps

27. #4 is right about LAPD - a large, organized gang. They are corrupt, they lie, they do nothing.

Meanwhile, the city council is wasting taxpayer resources on this pap garbage.

Dennis Zine just wants his name in the papers, and got to meet Sharon Stone.

They could be having a task force on REAL crime victims in L.A., or on the housing crisis, on any number of serious pressing things. Instead they waste time on this non-issue.

The LAT reports today that 3.3 million taxpayer dollars was paid out today to settle lawsuits against the county for police and medical negligence. Why doesn't the city council do a task force to stop police negligence and stop costing us all so much? Why doesn't the city council demand to know why it takes a posse of LAPD to escort Tom Cruise out of a restaurant? Why does the sheriff dept. come flying to Clooney's aid when he wants an escort from Dan Tana's to his car? If these people feel threatened, hire your own security, or don't go to pap spots, or move out of L.A. Long time residents of L.A. would be thrilled to see celebs, who've essentially hijacked this city, move elsewhere.

28. Seems like LA needs a new Police Chief.. No longer problems with Paps, the man needs a re adjustment, brain wise... This never ends..
