I don't mean news reporting by the way. I mean emergency responders an Angelinos cooperation with emergency services.

Reading FlyingJs link I'm really impressed with how little things have changed (as far as official response goes) and how much things have changed as well (Channel 11 took an hour to get to the scene) when it comes to emergency response. It's gratifying too to see that the areas we've improved in are the ones that are most important.

The photog's inclusion of the "No Parking" sign in-frame is LOLFTW.
