As Police Chief Charlie Beck Retires, L.A. Times Engages in Historical Revisionism

After 41 years with the Los Angeles Police Department, the last nine as its chief, Charlie Beck retired on Wednesday, handing his badge and collar stars to his successor, Michel Moore (yes, that’s how he spells his first name).

The occasion of Beck’s retirement has been marked by a good deal of adoring press attention, not the least of which was a 2,200-word retrospective on his career in Sunday’s Los Angeles Times. The story, by Times writer Cindy Chang, noted some of Beck’s missteps as chief, such as when a horse owned by his daughter, also an LAPD officer, made its way into the department’s stable, but it was otherwise largely hagiographic. (The Los Angeles Police Foundation, a private nonprofit, paid Beck’s daughter $6,000 for the horse and then donated it to the department’s mounted unit, where Beck’s daughter was assigned. Beck at first denied knowledge of the arrangement, but when related documents bearing his signature were produced he admitted approving it.)

“Now who would revise history? “

A lying political hack chief of police in a lousy democrat big city.

Whose criminal actions as top cop for decades have been covered up by the mayors, city council members, state and federal AG’s.

What does moonbeam owe this crooked top cop?

If Follywood was legit, they would be all over this!

Fake news. Who would ever expect the media to make up the story as they happily type it onto their webpage?

LA Times. Sad how a wonderful city like San Francisco has a horrible newspaper, like San Francisco.

Sweet punishment. The LA Times office recently moved from downtown LA to El Segundo near the airport. My friends who work at the LA Times office seriously hate the move. Since they are brilliant writers but anti-American, they deserve a tough commute to El Segundo.
