THE LOS ANGELES RIOTS AT 25 Today marks the 25th anniversary of the first day of the Los Angeles Riots of 1992, sparked by the acquittal of LAPD officers who beat the now-deceased Rodney King in a case of police brutality that sparked riots, over 50 deaths, and an onslaught upon the less-wealthy sides of LA, especially Koreatown. Before this all happened, however, the warring factions, the Bloods and the Crips, were brought together in a truce known as the 'Watts Truce'. This curbed major gang violence for a long time going, and although forgotten by many, the truce brought down gang violence majorly, even though it is no longer in effect today. The violence and effects of the riots, however, will not be forgotten. The attack on Reginald Denny on the epicentre of Florence and Normandie, the 'forget the flashlight' beginning on 71st and Normandie, the abandonment of Koreatown by California government agencies, and the reforms to the LAPD and change in Angelino society following the riots. These riots were a significant event, virtually, in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. While I won't give any significant spoilers, it follows the acquittal of the C.R.A.S.H. unit of an unforgivable crime, which sparks riots in Los Santos for the last three missions of the game. Personally, I'm surprised there's no references to the riots in GTA V, but we can always throw molotovs at Lundy's Caprices, and call it a riot. Lest we forget the riots. 25 years on, and we all the mistakes we had learned from seem to have been forgotten about in Ferguson and Baltimore. And with the Black Lives Matter movements doing the rounds across America, how long will it be until the next LA-style riot happens? And where? I'll leave you with this.

Oh yeah, forgot I could do that back then. Thing is, there's just not many good CVPI models out there now.

See, that's the problem. Wheelchair access, while something that we should not take for granted should we become cripples ourselves, unfortunately means the demise of the more utilitarian, famous means of transportation. Sadly, with the lack of the Crown Victoria, especially in the NYPD, New York doesn't look tough and cool anymore - it actually looks embarrasing. The same can be said for the death of the Checker cab. The same goes for our Routemaster. In 2006, they were mostly taken off from London streets because of multiple aging issues, including the problem of disability and health and safety. Now that the NBFL has had it's doors locked for health and safety, too, and is also not being bought again, there's no point in bringing them back - health and safety, although a virtue, has gone mad, as they say.

In light of LSPDFR being reported in the Albuquerque news to get some readership, my concern has grown that sources such as the Hull Daily Mail, The Sun, and *cringe* the Daily Mail will go out and try to slander me for my so-called violence-promoting ways. As I'm currently in a situation where I can't possibly take such criticism, and where I fear that Double Doppler or some other British modders will eventually make the Daily Mail for 'promoting violence against police, I decided to make a statement in my 'About Me' section that will probably be removed in the coming months, or even quicker, should any police forces praise me for my work, like the Dutch have. So, in case the Daily Mail wants to skip my account, or in case you're just interested as to my opinion, here's my statement. OFFICIAL STATEMENT TOWARDS THE POLICE AND THE MEDIA - HULLIAN111 Dear Humberside Police or Metropolitan Police individuals, the vehicles I make are IN NO WAY meant for usage as a way for underage kids to 'kill police officers' for fun, or even for 'training'. I support the police thoroughly and will make any effort to defend them in any circumstance, but I do not condone violence towards police officers. My work is more a hobby than actual work - I am an emergency vehicle enthusiast, and also a pro-police role-player in-game. The acts of individuals, however, who download my vehicle textures, are of their own accord, and cannot be preventable unless given extreme oversight of one's gameplay. And for me, that is impossible. If you have somehow made your way here from the (Hull) Daily Mail, I recommend you learn about what LCPDFR.com really stands for. The majority of us who can run the mods 'LCPDFR' and 'LSPDFR' all support the police in their roleplay as police officers, and to be clear, THESE MODS DO NOT PROMOTE VIOLENCE TOWARDS THE POLICE. If you wish to contact me about this, please do so in a private message. Should you ignore the basic facts and try to slander both me and/or the generous modding community, or if you are someone like Katie Hopkins or a Sun reporter, I will not speak to you. If you represent the Humberside or Metropolitan Police with the appropiate proof, and are concerned about what I am doing, I will try to explain to you what I am doing, and why I do it - for the community, and for my passion towards the police. I've always liked the police, and I wish never to upset them.

Sounds like you want to make that Charger out of Bullitt.

As it stands, accounts that you have blocked will not display comments, but still will display mods. The issue is here that with recent fiascos and relative confusion, I really should be avoiding seeing those mods on the download page, which is why I suggest an overhaul on blocking, which gives you the (purely optional) option to block downloads showing up, aside the option of blocking comments. Just a way to avoid unnecessary flame wars, really.

Current update: Today I found two mods that were archived under the Wayback Machine - the ELS Sultan and the ELS Huntley. I was so glad that the pages were archived, and hoped that like that RUC video I came across on the old RUC site, the mods were downloadable. This, unfortunately, was not the case. Whoever decided to archive the pages on the 10th of November 2014 did not bother to archive the downloading page, sadly, leaving us only to view the description. But I think there's still hope, no matter what controversy arises, that someday, we'll get the mods back. Someday.

Wrong category, FYI. Stream done now, please close.

Sorry to bring this up again, but I've been looking through the wayback machine, and I've managed to find some salvaged pages from 2011-2014 or so. You can't download anything, sadly, but you can view some user profiles. So far, however, you can't view specific profiles - when looking at downloads under archived URLs, its a guessing game as to who is who. Here's the link for your salvaging.
