into Lhe political lynching of Chief Daryl Cates.
During the lasL month and a half we have witnessed a frightening
trend in Litis city. Special interest groups are using this
incident to further their own political agendas and quest for
power. It has long been the desire of many special interest

to be able to hire and fire the police chief based on the
prevailing political winds.
These bpeeial inLeicst yroups have lost interest (if they indeed
ever had any) in Lhe real victim, Rodney King, and have instead
focused their efforts on turning Lhe clocks back to 1930's when a
job un the LAPD was the best job money could buy.
Wi Lh Lhe landmax K iefui.ms of 1930, jobs were no longer bought and
sold. And civil set vice protection was put in place to protect
police officers from Lhe arbitrary actions of politicians. Los

politicians, Lahlny an active roLe in election campaigns because
of control from City Hall.
Chief GaLes continues this tradition. His department has
