A group of day laborers said they were paid $500 to help move trash bags containing body parts out of a Tarzana home at the center of a murder investigation. The workers said they tried to report what they saw to police, but were turned away from two separate law enforcement stations.

      “fuck… Uh. That’s a lot of paperwork probably… Maybe go talk to those guys…” - the police, probably.

        It’s more work with nobody they could legally rob, and would involve treating brown people like actual humans.

          Police: “why don’t people like us?”

          Also police: “you better double our budget next year or we’re going to make it hard on all of you!”

    Wow.

    One would think that if someone walks up to a cop and tells them, “Yo, some dude hired us to move body parts,” they would at least drive by where they said this happened.

    From different source, but I added the emphasis : https://www.thedailybeast.com/workers-say-murder-suspect-samuel-haskell-hired-them-to-dump-body-parts-in-los-angeles

    Concerned that something wasn’t right about the scrap removal, the men pulled their truck over about a block away from the Haskell residence and peered inside the bags.

    They returned to Haskell’s home to dump the bags in the driveway and return the money, NBC reported, adding that, “The worker said they told Haskell they didn’t want to be involved, and Haskell tried to pass the body parts off as Halloween props.”

    “God was watching over us,” the hired hand said, adding that the men feared for their lives.

    The workers said they tried to report what they encountered to police but the California Highway Patrol directed them to the Los Angeles Police Department, which told them to leave and call 911 outside.
