It is now loud and clear that these guys are capable of planting evidence and framing people. This is not something new. That's sort of like Al Capone claiming vindication because some dude won a tax refund. The Los Angeles Police Department faces its biggest crisis in history. Nearly 70 officers are under investigation for corruption.
Officers face accusations of planting evidence, lying under oath, and cover-ups.
Never mind that L.A. County contains 250,000 gang members, and nearly 1,200 gangs. Experts attribute half of the murders in L.A. County to gangs, with a growing number of these murders unresolved. Gang members intimidate witnesses who refuse to testify, resulting in numerous cases being dismissed. Never mind that, so far, the LAPD scandal implicates some 70 officers, or less than 1 percent of the nearly 9,500 sworn officers. Or that the LAPD's current chief, Bernard Parks, is the city's second consecutive black chief, and that a Hispanic runs the L.A. County Sheriff's Department.
