I am not that surprised. Los Angeles PD during the Parker years resembled an occupying army than a police force. An all white force making sure that the city is safe for whites, but not for everyone else.
I got stopped recently by a cop when I was driving out of the driveway and it looked like he was looking for an excuse to haul me in. I think he was confused by my asian appearance. He finally growled at me and let me go on my merry way. I think the police tactical vest I had on the driver's seat made me think I was law enforcement.
The cops are getting more paranoid. They're afraid everyone is out to get them. Only partially true. A few folks are out to get them. But they're lumping every one else that they're not comfortable with.
The LA riots was the result of the LAPD abdicating their duty to maintain order. Furgerson is the opposite end of the spectrum. But then again, for 60k a year, can you hire people who can make intelligent decisions?
