Hiding out is not a new phenomenon. It's been happening since Louisville had police departments. It may be more common today because officers are punished when they're too proactive, feel demoralized, are hamstrung by some very risk averse policies, are underpaid, and don't want to take any unnecessary risks when they're likely to get burned. The leadership is generally not of the caliber or mindset to make a dramatic improvement. They can threaten officers all day long, but nobody's going to go above and beyond under these circumstances. Normally the citizens groups never get riled up enough to force a change in leadership, but the violent crime is likely to cause people up high to eventually lose their jobs. The department could use some much better qualified and more charismatic leadership right now. RCW didn't exactly have an eye for talent.

Why not buy your own bulbs? It is not like you pay for your Starbucks coffee.

No La La Land here. All that stuff you mentioned might be true, but for some mysterious reason, the department is still functioning just fine. All calls for service are still being answered, officers are still getting paid, and arrests are still being made. Why do you care so much? LMPD definately doesn't care about YOU!!!
