PJ Media

I am trying not to become a cop-hater but the “how dare you criticize me” attitude of law enforcement to any negative commentary puts me in mind of the lesser order of Latin American junta leaders. That plus the carnage of the drug wars and no-knock raids leaves me deeply suspicious of professional law enforcement.

I do not doubt the LA Times has unfairly trashed careers. Reporters, in my experience, write the story first and then get the quotes to fill in the gaps. But I also don’t doubt that the LAPD is probably a little less corrupt than Training Day or The Shield.
