btw, police moral is so bad here that they are recruiting people from other states and paying their moving fees. WHy you ask? No-one wants to be a cop here in LA..coruption is at an all time high and doesn't seem to be decresing any. Citizens cringe when you see cops..there is no secure feeling when you see a cruiser watching your block,they might come to rob your house next..and thats real live shit
example: AFTER A DECADE OF STOP-AND-START REFORM, of investigative commissions, a court-imposed consent decree and, most recently, the debate over whom the mayor should name as the city's new LAPD chief, the natural questions arise: Are things getting better or worse in the LAPD? Are police-abuse levels going up or down?
The short answer: We don't know.
If the cash paid out by the city on LAPD-related settlements is any measure, the situation seems grim. The payout from 1997 through 2001 topped $87 million, with the highest price tag, in 2000, coming close to $45 million. Those figures, however, included "the Rampart effect" ? payouts on the scandal that involved unlawful arrests, planted evidence, false testimony, the shooting of a handcuffed man ? and so are considered misleading by some
