Politically correct for sure but it still gives an insight from the inside

The L.A.P.D. don't have the best reputation,even today
Why anyone would want to be a Cop is beyond me


Chief of L.A.P.D

As a cop, you saw the Rodney King beating video tape. What was your reaction?




The first time I saw it, I thought it was bad. There was nothing that you could justify it or explain it. Even when I went to roll calls, and officers wanted to talk about what happened, that was not on the film. And you had to explain to them, no matter what happened that we didn't have a visual on, could we justify what we saw on the tape? Because there were enough officers present to subdue that situation early on without the significant number of baton strokes. And you could see from the body language of many of the officers, there was not a tense altercation going on there. Most of the officers were somewhat relaxed. There were a large number of them there. . . .

Was it racial?

I don't know, and I don't think we've seen anything in the sense that it is, per se, racial. I can't get in the heads of the officers [involved]. I think it was a breakdown in leadership and supervision, and I think it [the officers involved] lost track of what they were there for. They got more involved and engaged in swinging the baton than bringing this to a conclusion, and I think that's where the downside is

Nuff said! I'm through posting on this thread!

Hijacked thread at that

Amen

You two are digressing waaay too much here. (I never do that!)

In all honesty, that beating RK took was horrific (though he wasn't hit in the head like the Man U fans in Rome, so that's something). There were enough policemen around to arrest the guy without all that. They were cleared of any racial wrongdoing because there's no proof it was racially motivated. Only the police know what they were thinking. But it WAS a beating regardless, and we don't seem to get that shit over here so much (oh we get the beatings, but the police don't discriminate so much on who they hand the beatings to).

My point is that it didn't deserve 55 more deaths due to the riots, and the rioters cannot use RK as an excuse for what they did.

I said I wasn't gonna post no more about this subject as WZR is making my points exactly but I just can't let Alice get away with this one. The reason why we have federations, activist organizations and the like is BECAUSE of the HISTORY of white privilage and slavery. Obviously Alice either never read or don't know about the history of slavery of Africans wherever they went ALL over the globe but specificly the U.S and the Caribbean. You wanna know why blacks are the way the are TODAY? Google the Willie Lynch Letter and tell me what you think!

And before I forget let me make this clear. I don't consider myself racist or prejudiced, I'm POST-JUDICED! In other words, I judge after the fact. I'm not anti-white but I am pro-black seeing the conditions that we are in these days. I drive a truck today because I had white instructors who were more than willing to teach me how to drive and got along with them very well and I might add I was very well liked by my fellow white students and instructors. I don't know what they thought of me behind closed doors but as far as I knew they thought I was the coolest black dude probably because I wasn't a phony. That should go to show you that at least I saw in my years on this planet that some whites aren't prejudiced.
