As an American what is your opnion of the LAPD?

[MatthewT]

matter of fact, the entire Dorner mess started with the "detention" of a paranoid schizophrenic homeless man hanging out in front of a DoubleTree Inn

[GHP]

I wonder who was yesterday's winner.

A black man, proving charges of racism are overblown

Now he's even blacker.

I'm not anti-cop.....they pretty much work within the environment set by their superiors...LAPD is probably making progress

I sure wish all cops could focus on crime fighting, rather than being revenue generators who give out shit tickets to tax payers

Kelly Thomas after the FULLERTON police beat him into a coma (NSFW) (srs) (what has been seen cannot be unseen)

Now he's even blacker.

And therefore more oppressed.

Either that's a dude with a girl's name or they beat a beard onto her.

The LAPD has developed a distinct "us vs. them" mentality, and basically has turned into the biggest gang in town.

but i'm sure that Chief Beck will get a handle on it now, what with Rambro dead and all

1- I would NEVER want that job....kudos to the good guys.

2- Not all, but most cops seem to believe that they are above the law themselves, and are on a par with gangs themselves, doing what they want, when and how they want, laws-be-damned. THere are also a lot of sick sadistic fuckwads drawn to the control and domination of others. Didjaknow most serial killers have tried to get into police jobs? It's true, the psychological makeup is just a few hairs different. Again, I'm not saying than many cops are good, and we damn sure need them, but when they condone and protect corrupt/evil cops, they're getting blood on their hands too. I think a good cop is the best. I think a bad cop is much worse than the criminals they're supposed to protect us from. No excuses about stress; if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Oh, I forgot this was about LA cops, but I think they're all pretty much the same. Ain't many Andy Griffith types out there....

They deal with the most anti-social group of people in the US on a daily basis. I think they should all be given assault weapons to drive up and down the streets of South Central LA blasting away

QUESTION: Why does ANYONE need an assault weapon?
ANSWER: To clean out the streets of South Central

I would agree with this.

I look like a white man so I'm safe from the LAPD
