Who in the world believes that LAPD officers are so especially competent or uniquely fit for the job that it warrants flying them across america and the atlantic.

They're reserve officers too, not even the regular cops.

What the fuck is a reserve officer? Like a military reservist but for cops?

Yeah, seems like it, people who volunteer to be cops on the weekends and stuff. Shaq is promoting them on the website hesitation-2

From the article pictured in the OP:

The reserves have gone through the Police Academy just like regular officers, and can "perform the same functions as regular, full-time officers”

Don't worry, they go through the same rigorous training as regular cops, so everything's fine.
