Gathering Information-Notes

v  The majority of Americans have confidence in our officers

v  The statements of racism are over exaggerated because there are not too many white officers on the force

v  At many times it is primarily Hispanic and African American

v  Some of the problem is coming from Community Policing

v  That is when citizens take the job into their own hands

v  The police of Los Angeles and are caught up in scandal

v  “Rampart police are accused of stealing drugs, falsifying reports, framing people, and abusing unarmed suspects” page 8

v  “About 200 lawsuits have been filed against the city of Los Angeles” page 8

v  Over 100 of those criminal convictions have been over turned because the police usually deal with problem citizens they have developed an us verses them mentality.
