Well living in LA we've had our own share of bad cops over the years that have created controversy after controversy (yeah remember the LA riots?)...
But I think too many people have the "its us vs. them" mentality.
The LAPD is a pretty damn small group for the amount of area they have to cover. And its sad they get their funds cut.
A few months ago a guy was killed execution style outside a house by 2 guys. They would've gotten away with it had a cruiser not driven by and the two cops in it arrested the two guys. Sadly the victim died later.
And its ironic that only a few days later the same news being broadcasted is the funds going to be cut again.
Its too bad these things happen because IMO most police are good ones down here. Sure we have scandal after scandal but generally most police are good and honorable. And besides, if they do get into trouble / act bad, the # of scandals and stuff coming out lately from LA alone makes them usually think twice.
