I have a friend at work who is quite sharp--he's a Unix sysadmin--who has a number of friends and relatives in law enforcement and the military. He has great respect for these institutions, but he shakes his head when he considers how incapable they are of attracting intelligent employees.

The dumb cop is OK for keeping order on the street, but that's about it.

All these fancy scientific test and forensics labs are only useful after you've caught the criminal.

I suspect the our highly intelligent, but somewhat sleazy, upper class, does not actually want any intelligent law officers, for fear that their own activities might come under scrutiny.

The dumb cop is OK for keeping order on the street...until one of them breaks your head for not obeying a lawful order from an idiot. Cops make more millionaires than Wall St. particularly those out in LA.

A dark older Caprice was ID'd by witness at 9/21(23?) shooting. THE BLUE CAPRICE was ID'd by police on OCT 01 at the Home Depot parking lot BEFORE the tirade of shooting began on 10/02!
