A former Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy told me that when the LAPD contacted Kennedy's campaign about providing security for Senator Kennedy a campaign staffer said, "We don't want any pigs over here."

I heard that story, or something similar, years ago, and had forgotten about it. I don't remember the "pigs" remark, but I did remember that the extra security had been declined. Wonder how the person who made the decision felt about it afterwards.
