of course I don't ever like to hear the LAPD mentioned - I'd rather be gouged by a fellow fan than ever interact with those guys.

The L.A.P.D aren't being called specifically for the VAMPS concert, if that's what you're thinking. It's sort of a standard procedure with The Wiltern. There are usually only two officers there in the back just to make sure nothing goes wrong. I wouldn't let something like that stop you from coming to the concert. I mean, what happened in New York was an extreme situation and will not happen in Los Angeles.

And no, the L.A.P.D aren't going to show up and prevent people lining up, like you stated above. Again, it's standard procedure for at least two officers to be there just for extra security and to make sure people don't get waaayyy out of hand. So, hopefully with the knowledge of the security at the Wiltern, no one will be stupid enough to start trouble.
