“You switched forces in mid story.”
I forgot not everyone lives in So Cal and doesn’t know that one of the Orange County cops was ex-LAPD.
When you’re a bad enough cop to actually get fired from the LAPD, you can go peddle your third-string services to any smaller city police force, such as Fullerton (the city in Orange County).
The cop in question was actually let go from the LAPD with a huge disability pension, almost a hundred percent of his salary, because of an injury. The thinking was he couldn’t be a cop anymore. Then he turns around and goes to work — as a patrol cop — for Fullerton.
So he’s a crook as well as a murderer.
Yay LAPD!
You are right. I did not know that. I was born and raised in So Cal but escaped in '81.
