This is the same Bratton who when asked on LA Radio "why his officers refused to arrest illegal immigrants ..." (special order 40). Bratton angrily told the caller " the LAPD is out of the immigration business and if the caller did not like it the caller could leave the state ..."
This is just months after this carpet bagger hits town he's publically telling Los Angeles taxpayers that if they expect the LAPD to do the job they are paid to do then get the hell out of the state!
Bratton is an ass.

And I never liked the department going outside of it's ranks to fill that position. It was a pure political decision.
