In reply to the discussion: 3rd former officer Brian Bentley comes out on misconduct by LAPD [View all]Fire Walk With Me
(38,893 posts)I've seen LA media used to twist or omit facts regarding Occupy actions to a brazen extent. I've seen prosecutors and police in court do shit to harmless, peaceful protesters. I've seen the reports (you may have as well as I'd posted them yesterday in GD) about LAPD shooting 90 bullets at an unarmed teen, 16 cops attacking a homeless man, cops twice body-slamming a handcuffed woman to the ground and then fist-bumping...all of the things I'm listing are my own experience or there is clear video evidence. You are ignoring that LAPD protect their own and that Dorner's attempts to bring corruption to light met the blue wall of self-protection. Two more LAPD have come out in support of his allegations, very surprisingly. Remember Rodney King? Visit Skid Row (walking distance from city hall) and ask about LAPD. Ask the low-income and people of color. Seriously.
I am fully ready to condemn Dorner for murder if and when it is proven to not contain any LAPD or PD cover-up and self-interest. They put out a $1,000,000 bounty on his head. Goes to motive.
