I found this quote hilarious when I heard it on the radio. It was made by Chief Beck (LAPD)...

He was speaking of trying to overturn a jury decision for 12 million dollars being awarded to five former police recruits. The recruits claimed they were wrongfully denied temporary city jobs while recovering from police academy training injuries.

...“I think that juries do their best and sometimes they don’t get all the information and sometimes they make decisions that I don’t agree with.”

It sounded arrogant when he said it. In fact, I heard this statement early this afternoon on 1070am radio. Then later, while in bumper to bumper traffic, I heard it again on 1070am: they did a sloppy job of clipping it, and removed the sentence, "they make decisions that I don’t agree with.”
