LAPD cop falsely claimed two latinos with shaved heads attacked him,
LAPD swarmed the neighborhood looking for those two latinos. Can you imagine how many young latino males were rousted?

Ex-LAPD officer accused of lying about attack, torching his car
6:06 PM | April 1, 2009

A Los Angeles police officer who alleges he was shot by two attackers early this year lied to investigators about the incident and, weeks earlier, intentionally set fire to his own luxury sports car in a scheme to collect a fraudulent insurance payment, according to charges filed by prosecutors late Wednesday afternoon.

Anthony Razo, a 14-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department, was charged with five felony counts of insurance fraud and arson for allegedly torching his BMW 745 on Jan. 4 and then filing an insurance claim.

He also faces a misdemeanor charge of filing a false police report stemming from the harrowing tale he told investigators after he was shot outside of his City Terrace home on the morning of Jan.31. Razo said two Latinos with shaved heads who he did not know attacked him as he was leaving for an early morning golf game. During a struggle, Razo claimed, one of the men grabbed his department-issued handgun and shot him once in the shoulder.

Prosecutors and L.A. County Sheriff’s officials declined to comment on the details of their investigation, leaving open the possibility that Razo shot himself or that he knows his attacker.

2. I really, really think we need to have psychological testing
for all public servant's. What kind of fool thinks they can pay for a 7 series Bimmer even on an LA payscale? Sounds like a delusional idiot that figured since he was a figure of authority, he could break the rules and get away with it.
