Talk:Kevin Gaines (police officer)

message: :Image:Gainesdot.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: Per Wikipedia's Neutral point of view policy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view) I've added the POV tags at the top of the page.
This policy states:
All encyclopedic content on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view (NPOV), which means representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic.
I believe there are too many editorial words and suggestions in this article which violates the policy. 
For example in one section of the article it states there was "widespread corruption" in the Rampart CRASH team which implies lots of people and activities. However there are some sources which suggest that it was roughly three out of dozens of cops that acted improperly and a well-sourced statement on Wikipedia's own entry about the Rampart scandal says the following:
"The Rampart investigation, based mainly on statements of admitted corrupt CRASH officer Rafael Pérez, initially implicated over 70 officers of wrongdoing. Of those officers, enough evidence was found to bring 58 before an internal administrative board. However, only 24 were actually found to have committed any wrongdoing, with twelve given suspensions of various lengths, seven forced into resignation or retirement, and five terminated"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Construct21 (talk • contribs) 14:47, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
