In the spirit of #7 and #15:
>>Believe it or not, there are some in the highest ranks of the LAPD who would rather see stores looted and cars vandalized than see their own careers jeopardized by an incident that might in any way resemble what happened in MacArthur Park two years ago.
I’m more inclined to believe this than to believe the opposite, since effective cops and firefighters in L.A. are punished for high-profile effectiveness at crimestopping. Can’t remember the name of that clown firefighter who sued his own department about two years ago for a dog food prank. In a move that had “nothing whatsoever” to do with race, the fire chief, of a certain race, was canned and replaced by a chief of another certain race.
