These people are scum of the earth. We taxpayers have to flip the bill for their mayhem. We consumers have to pay higher insurance premiums to settle auto claims from vandals. Just occasionally police brutality is understandable.... Too bad we can't see a video of a justifiably angry band of LAPD's finest in riot gear firing tear gas and beating the hell out of these hooligans!!!
@wellthedaisysaid the footage is not currently in the public domain for public use in part or whole. The LAFD as an agency is not able to extend rights for commercial or private use. If the person who shot it - or the *many* others with similar footage wish to contact you, they certainly may. -Brian @LAFD
Thanks LAFD - hopefully this goes viral and you get the information that you need to find these folks and get some justice for the taxi cab owner. I don't understand how this kind of nonsense is indicative of a celebration but the mob mentality that seems to have possessed so many is why I don't let my teens 'hang out' with friends without adult chaperons.
This is the result of the '60s, "Go where you want to go, do what you want to do" message. No regard or respect for someone else's property or for the fact that someone just lost thousands of dollars for no good reason. This in an economy that is already hurting badly. Thanks a lost guys.
Asking people to turn someone in wont get you anywhere. The LAFD should put up a reward of $5,000 and everyone would sntich on that person in a heart beat
... That $5000 claimed or not would be a big deturrant from tuff like this
@elpadroney without being too specific, I can say that our effort on YouTube (part of our established @LAFD Channel, offered at little direct public cost) has gone according to plan. Please know that the LAFD *as an agency* cannot offer a reward, as such assignment of the taxpayer's money must (rightfully we opine) be approved by the City Council. I hope this information helps. -Brian @LAFD
@elpadroney Actually it would about $32,000+ per year to lock him up in a California State prison, not $0.02 for the reward per CA taxpayer. Criminals really are useless to civil society at large. LA is full of them.
@LAFD Yeah, the LAFD has got you there buddy. It's bad enough we as consumers have to pay higher insurance premiums because of these hooligans. And then we taxpayers have to flip the bill for rewards paid to capture criminals. It costs money. Taxpayer dollars are valued especially in a recession. This is a good medium for publicity. I found it after someone linked to it from e-zine about criminality in Los Angeles.
Why cant we do a Anti riot once? i mean instead of making fires we put them out! and Plant some plants and clean up the Streets! and sit in a camp fire and hold hands and Celebrate the Phoenix Suns 2011 Championship ;)
@DJRevan no he was just a taxi cab driver doin his job and unfortunately was in the wrong place at the wrong time. i for one wouldnt/v even driven near staples if i was him. but in the end the taxi driver got 10,000 dollars and even more donations from people. so its all good
@kirkis9 As for who *posted* the video. I am a Firefighter with the Los Angeles Fire Department assigned full-time to public and media affairs. -Brian Humphrey @LAFD
Just shows how retarded people can be wen the mob gets going, that could easily of been an animal or a person. But i suppose it just shows the class of certain people
the clear manifestation of some sort of an inferior type of specie... poor little brains... having what seems to be fun, vandalizing someones instrument of work, which will now probably be unable to feed his kids... It´s really a good reason for laughing.
these are people who use championships and big crowds as an excuse to vandalize..i could understand if the lakers loss the game and they did this..but are they happy or sad? it amazes me..lakers won last year they did it..and this year they did it...people who do this are criminals and are not real fans.
Incredible lack of brains!! That's really healthy to burn a car with toxic plastic road cones inside. Wish we could flush these idiots down the toilet for the freaking turds that they are! Probably the same people that cry or cal the police when they find someone put a scratch on their car. They can't create, so they destroy - hope they get recognized and busted. Pay for the car - you IDIOTS!!!
I am willing to bet that several of these MORONS dropped out of high school, Hell I am willing to bet that these IDIOTS Are not even Tax Payers! No, Tax Payers have a little more respect for the things that their money is paying for. I hope that they are all apprehended and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law!!
So, just how many people in the world today are a waste of life like these kids and punks? This is a direct reflection of today’s society and how the parents of these children are in fact not parenting at all. Learn some respect and develop some morels.
I do not understand the point of this at all. In fact I saw more mindless videos and photos taken than explanations. Not only should they be happy they won, even if they lost what is the purpose of ruining a taxi? At one point a gentleman, if he deserves even that title, can be heard screaming "F**k the police". Honestly, has ignorance become so widespread that prophanity and stupidity must merge when police are not even part of the situation at that time?
This video disgusts me. Sure makes boycotting LA a lot easier to accomplish.
Maybe it is time for martial law.... at least in LA. What is wrong with those ghetto people thinking this is entertainment and funny. Lock them all up and throw away the key.
I am absolutely heartbroken. I have been a Lakers fan since the days of Jerry West, Wilt, Elgin Baylor, Pat Riley and the like. These animals have no respect for their City or their Team and all the work that went to get there. Dr. Buss should pull the team and put it in a City with more pride than these neanderthals exhibit.
At 55 secs it asks anyone who can identify people in the video to call LAFD Arson/Counter Terrorism Investigators. Anti-Terrorism Investigators? Yeah guys, drop the hunt for Bin Laden and get your asses down here and catch some of these halfwitted drunken louts. Not much hope of protecting America if these guys can't tell the difference between common thugs and terrorists.
@RonanG you might have missed the earlier thread explaining that the dual-role personnel handling the crime of arson at the LAFD work within the Arson/Counter-Terrorism Section. This is not dissimilar from the Police Department's Robbery/Homicide Division, that can be found at the scene of robberies where no homicide occurred. I hope this helps. -Brian @LAFD
I don't want to get angry watching this because it's really not worth it but I wonder how would one of them react if a mob would do the same with his car? Would he start destroying his own car as well?
This video shows one of the things I really hate about people. Good thing, there's people who are awesome as well, so that it can compensate for these animals. Otherwise I'd lose my hope in humanity.
They are roaches, and they scatter when the flashing lights appear and the sirens sound. If the people of California are quick to fall to deindividuation, it would not be hard to imagine why the state is in its sorry state--then again, nowadays this seems to be likely to happen anywhere.
On a lighter note, anyone else see the solemn, gaunt face that appears on the windshield at 1:06, after it is smashed?
im a huge laker fan but is this where i want my tax dollars to go to? a taxi on fire started by morons. i hope the LAFD find these jackasses. what if there was a "real" fire. these people are stupid.
What a senseless waste of time energy and resources. There is a serious drop in IQ level in the world today if this is considered quality entertainment. Have people in this world lost their minds? This is no way to enjoy a sports victory. I hope the people involved in this rediculous stunt wake up one day after sobering up, and realize they could be making progress for the human race instead of destroying things.
What the hell are these idiots doing. They should be sent to jail. They might have enjoyed it but if the car exploded as soon as the fire started lots of people would have died or injured. Thumbs down for the gangster like attitude.
David Stern should be ashamed of picking this team as winners year in and year out just because it's a big market and they sell tickets and jerseys. Look at what these idiots are wearing, you must be proud your golden team and golden boy bring in so much money, but people's life get ruined, David.
To bad the cab driver wasn't carrying a gun. If only he sent a few of these A-holes to the morgue that night. Would of saved LA some OT with their police staff.
In frame 2:45 you can see the arsonist. He can be identified by the tattoos on his right arm. Put that pic up on the news and you are bound to see results i hope. Most of the incident was captured by people with video phones. Find those people from this clip and use their videos to ID more of the vandals. Hope that helps. I need to look at more CSI.
i want to see them do it that to a squad car, the police should have approched differently. The police should have turned off their lights and siren and sneaked up on all of them and thrown a granade in the middle. Those sirins and lights just says here we come now everyone start running so we cant capture you.
Something is not right here there filtering the comments and then it makes me wonder where was the PD. This looks like a setup. Either that or they had it planned to planned. For what I dont know?
This is nothing new in most of the city especially L.A. I remember going to parties there and people trashing LAPD cop cars and cops actually scared too death! They would leave the scene and then call for backup. How come there is no police around I thought they were going to beef up everythng. Looks like they just donated a free taxi and made them get out there frustrations?
LAFD - I don't know if you are filtering the comments as they are heavily weighted with disgust for this behavior and very minimal for acceptance. I hope your experiment of using social networking sites in order to get IDs of people committing felonies is a success. I look forward to the day that these flagrant law-breakers are arrested and brought to justice.
lol This is typical mob mentality, but what's the point of burning a taxi? To be honest that car should have just blown up while they were around it. Not only that but there go some tax dollars..
Here's what I don't get, when an identical mob goes after a police car that just happens to be in the middle of the street, all the youtube comments would be in support, but now everyone's upset...
That's how they party after a victory in LA? In Chicago when the B-hawks won 2 weeks ago we had 2 million people in the streets parading around. These guys destroy a car....wow... I gotta admit I laughed at the guy with the crutch hitting it though. lol
I can see where beating up a car could be fun. This is just stupid, however. It's not like some car they bought from a junk yard so they charge people to hit it as a fundraiser. What made these morons think they could do something like this to someone's property is beyond me.
Pathetic cowards.

This is nothing new in most of the city especially L.A. I remember going to parties there and people trashing LAPD cop cars and cops actually scared too death! They would leave the scene and then call for backup. How come there is no police around I thought they were going to beef up everythng. Looks like they just donated a free taxi and made them get out there frustrations?

LAFD - I don't know if you are filtering the comments as they are heavily weighted with disgust for this behavior and very minimal for acceptance. I hope your experiment of using social networking sites in order to get IDs of people committing felonies is a success. I look forward to the day that these flagrant law-breakers are arrested and brought to justice.

Laker fans go nuts after their team wins the NBA title. I feel sorry for the driver of the taxi lol!

lol This is typical mob mentality, but what's the point of burning a taxi? To be honest that car should have just blown up while they were around it. Not only that but there go some tax dollars..

Here's what I don't get, when an identical mob goes after a police car that just happens to be in the middle of the street, all the youtube comments would be in support, but now everyone's upset...

That's how they party after a victory in LA? In Chicago when the B-hawks won 2 weeks ago we had 2 million people in the streets parading around. These guys destroy a car....wow... I gotta admit I laughed at the guy with the crutch hitting it though. lol

Imagine What would had happen if Boston had won....
It's really a disgrace to call these guys a TRUE fan...

I can see where beating up a car could be fun. This is just stupid, however. It's not like some car they bought from a junk yard so they charge people to hit it as a fundraiser. What made these morons think they could do something like this to someone's property is beyond me.
