(June 10, 2019, 12:10 a.m.) -- Long Beach had its TWENTIETH shooting crime scene (fatal + wounding + no persons hit) since May 7 on late Sunday afternoon (June 9), when a man was shot/wounded in the 6100 block of Atlantic Ave.,(basically in the area of the forthcoming "The Uptown" commercial development.) The June 9 shooting comes four days after a double homicide -- two men fatally shot a little over half a mile south in the 5500 block of Atlantic Ave. in the 8th Council district.

    As previously reported by LBREPORT.com, following recommendations by then-Mayor Bob Foster, the LB City Council (which included then-Councilman Robert Garcia) erased over a period of years starting in 2009 (entering FY10) 208 budgeted citywide deployable police officers (over 20% of LB's citywide deployable level) including the elimination of LBPD's field anti-gang unit.

    Under Mayor Garcia, despite LB voter approval of a June 2016 sales tax increase ("Measure A") now bringing City Hall over $50 million more annually, LB's current City Council has restored only 22 of the budget-erased officers, leaving LB without 186 officers (including a field anti-gang unit) that it previously had but no longer has. (LBRPEORT.com special coverage, here.)
