Police violate the law with impunity.

[WhosThatCop @WhosThatCop]

Will filed a records request under SB 1421 which must be completed with 45 days per Penal Code 832.7(b)(11), but LAPD has been dragging it out for HALF A DECADE & counting.

It's systematic obstruction, and it's illegal under Government Code 792.500.

More importantly, that's not even close to the scandal here. Notice something: not only is the identity of the judge kept secret, but the "reprimand" is private. Not only that, we aren't even told which *state* this occurred in. Everything is kept secret, swept under the rug.

THREAD. I've written before about some of the vital ethics and accountability work we do in a system defined by impunity. But this week's scandal of a federal judge having loud sex with a cop in chambers and then lying about it reveals huge *systemic* problems.

LAPD rationalized calling me a “Black fool” as stress release:

“It is understandable that Officers release some stress by using improper language in private places such as their vehicle. However, making such improper remarks on BWV makes these remarks discoverable to others.”

Five years ago I caught Gomez and his partner illegally searching some guys. End result was a two day suspension.

Found documents years later where their bodycam captured them calling me a “Black fool.” The LAPD determined calling me that was “non-disciplinary.”

A peer-reviewed study found Black patients matched with Black doctors were 27% less likely to die in the hospital. A separate study found Black residents live longer in counties with more Black primary care physicians. “Find A Black Doctor” exists because the disparities are real

@MSD76989702 Yes, that should have said LASD.

Today in Covina, police officers shot a man. The LAPD refuses to arrest or identify the shooters.

@LASDHQ How were the officers involved in the shooting? Who shot the man? Are the shooters in custody?

With apologies to Erwin Knoll of Knoll's law of media accuracy.

Damien's law of LLM capability: Modern LLMs are very good at everything they do except for the rare thing you happen to have personal expertise in.

[Damien Burke @ExMember]

The police will investigate the police and determine that the police did nothing wrong.

@zeroto72 @LASDHQ Why do you think Mr. Velasquez deserved to be shot multiple times outside his home?
