Your title is misleading. |
How is the title misleading....LAPD has been caught in lies yet again. Anyone who thinks this is an isolated incident is fooling themselves. The fact is, this type of BS occurs all the time, it just isn't caught on videotape.
As for the LAPD policing itself....puhlease......we've seen their "investigations" time and again....and as for the DA's office.....the Los Angeles DA has a history of sitting on these cases until the statute of limitations run.....even where the cops are put on trial AND CONVICTED.....the DA's don't pursue the case after appeals.
A jury convicted police officers here a couple of years ago, the judge set aside the conviction and the DA failed to pursue it. The DA's office doesn't take complaints against the police serious here.....its easier to turn a blind's eye.
Take for instance here: Rather than calling it for what it was - lying cops caught on tape saying write a false police report....the DA sights inconsistencies giving rise to reasonable doubt. Reasonable doubt?....get real....why don't these DA's have a backbone to call a f*@king liar a friggin liar?
