SPEAKER: Let me answer that question generally, because I
can't answer it specifically. I do not know, I've
never heard a deputy sheriff say to me or have
somebody repeat such a conversation to me, that
they feel that shows a lack of support on the part
of their administration. But I can assure you
that that is said. The reason I can assure you of
that — every time that the command level of any
police department takes any action where a
subordinate feels that they may be in jeopardy,
there's going to be the natural bellyaching about
it. I call it bellyaching, you call it criticism.
However you want to put it. That is always the
case. But that's the responsibility at the
command level. And they take that more seriously.
Well, I would, that's wrong to say they take it
more seriously with the sheriffs than LAPD. They
both take it very seriously, but in different
areas. LAPD takes it very seriously on matters of
corruption. Um, if you don't pay your ah retail
bill at some store, and the merchant beeps you for
it at the department, that department is all over
you like white on rice, and the members of that
department resent it deeply. I mean, what the
hell business is it of the department if I haven't
paid my clothing bill? The department thinks it
is their business. And so, yeah, uh, there is the
attitude that the department isn't supporting us,
that the department gets all over us, that the
department doesn't care at the command level for
that kind of conduct, because they want their
officers on the straight and narrow. Now when you
get over to questions of use of force, then it's
different. With the sheriff, ah they take that
more seriously than LAPD does.
SPEAKER: Thank you very much for coming today, Mr. District
Attorney. I do want to thank you on behalf of the
Commission, not only for appearing, but for the
cooperation we've gotten from your office. It's
been exemplary, and we may be back to you for some
further information, but you play a very important
