I don't get where that many cops would be unarmed at a bar. Not blaming, just amazed.
Having spent a few years in college down in LA, I understand why they were unarmed. Thousand Oaks and the surrounding towns north of LA are considered very wealthy and mostly crime free like a big gated community of million dollar plus homes, compared to the city to the south. Median home value in Thousand Oaks is 730k, and next city over Malibu is 2.9million.
