I stand before you to announce the arrest of a suspect that has terrorized our community for far too long. On August 10th, 1985, a terror began and spread throughout the streets of south Los Angeles, and for the next 25 years, one man preyed1 on the innocent, stole the lives of women living in some of our toughest neighborhoods.

These instances, together with my own frustration7, with premature8 disclosure of personnel, budget and other options under consideration, led me to conclude several weeks ago that we need greater coordination9 and discipline. Effectively communicating what we do and how we do it remains10 a top priority for me. In fact, I consider it my duty.

Because he has the potential to bring in even more revenue to the cities. The frontrunner right now, as the gossip goes, is Miami, 270 million dollars is the estimate of the revenue that Lebron himself can bring to that city by choosing that team
