Is the LAPD still corrupt?

The only media outlet that carried that portion of the story was the tiny Whittier Daily News.

But perhaps you have more current information not available to the public at large that you would care to share?

No I don't have any information. I was commenting about you stating that no charges have been filed when they may have been but no one has published it. Several media outlets picked up the story and no matter what someone in the department wants to make the incident go away, the media can eaisly follow up and report. It seems to this point they choose not to report as of now.

This thread focuses on LAPD but would the numbers show that they are no differant than other Departments around the nation? I am not saying that criminal activity from anyone is OK, but lets look at the numbers to make a true comparison.

I like how you see the situation. Nothing is perfect, no business or agency is perfect, but overall LAPD is a great force and we should all be thankful we have police personal to protect us. Even here, in little Bella Vista, Ar we recently had a police officer who was trigger happy. It resulted in a death that should never had happened.
