The LAPD does have more firepower and is better equipped. The NYPD also copied the LAPD style of policing a large city. You also said there was thousands less officers just because, not sure why, maybe to make the NYPD sound so supreme I guess
Go look it up if you don't believe it. Also sharpen up your gang googling expertise as well considering that the bloods and crips are not the only gangs in LA
You guys have horses and cruisers, we have battlerams
There are 34,500 NYPD cops. There are 10,000 LAPD officers. The population of NY is 8,000,000 and the population of la is 3,8000,000. So there are way more cops per person in NY.
The difference is that the NYPD has a HUGE counter terrorism influence so they are definitely way more sophisticated, while the LAPD is way,way harder because of a HUGE anti gang influence.
From my personal experience of spending a lot of time in both places, is that the LAPD is way harder on a nikka. I fukkin got 3 jay-walking tickets, because my boys in LA didnt warn me about that shyt, meanwhile I've never even gotten a ticket in NY in the 20 years I've lived and visited there.
