"Of the 70 officers named by Pérez, only 24 were actually found to have committed any wrongdoing, with 12 given suspensions of various lengths, 7 resigned, and 5 fired..."
So, Perez lied about most of it, and caused a huge fraction of the problems himself. But, there were others, too because LAPD had a politically mandated diversity "problem", and under the Fat Willy regime, background standards were relaxed for politically correct applicants, with disasterous results. BUT, to call today's LAPD "an ongoing criminal conspiracy" is Liberaltarian Paultard hyperbole.
Were there so few convictions because so little criminality was revealed - or because these guys protect their own?
The LAPD is an ongoing criminal conspiracy. They rob banks, deal drugs, collect protection money, steal evidence, plant evidence and kill people.
If you think that was somehow limited to 10 years ago and it has all been rainbows and roses from that time - you are living in a dream world.
Wake up!
Thank you. I'm thinking this might be something heard about on "Coast to Coast" and, as mentioned upthread, Van Jones.
