LOS ANGELES (Worthy Satire) – City officials held a heartfelt press conference Monday, pausing between counting stacks of overtime paychecks, to extend their deepest gratitude to the rioters, looters, and arsonists who have turned the City of Angels into the City of Time-and-a-Half.
“We couldn’t have done it without you,” said LAPD Chief Bud E. Payday, wiping away a tear while holding up his $500,000 overtime check. “Every smashed window, every burning car, every looted Target — that’s another officer’s kid through college. You’ve really brought this community together. In 12-hour shifts.”
City accountants confirmed that the $1.1 billion in overtime paid in 2024 not only boosted morale but also fueled the local economy. “We’ve seen record sales at Rolex, Gucci, and Tesla,” said Budget Director Ima Broke. “Mainly from the people protecting the stores, not the ones robbing them.”
Meanwhile, activists demanded that the city do more to provide opportunities. In response, City Council members are considering subsidizing “starter riot kits” to help young people break into the industry — literally.
Rumors abound that L.A. will soon trademark its new tourism slogan: Come for the beaches, stay for the chaos.
