3:00pm |<\/strong> Several headlining comedians packed the World Famous Laugh Factory in downtown Long Beach last night, with Jack Osbourne hosting the Comedy Uniting Communities event to support and benefit the 2010 Law Enforcement Torch Run International Conference. Photographer Daniel DeBoom was there to capture the laughs.<\/p>\n

Cops 4 Causes raises funds to benefit children, adults and law enforcement who are afflicted with cancer, TB, HIV\/AIDS, Down Syndrome, MS, Diabetes and other life-altering disabilities. Proceeds from last night’s show benefited their efforts.<\/p>\n
