soldiers return-tig from Vietnam. They are being spat upon,
called "gang menbers" and "killers" and treated like social
outcasts. Some groups have placed ads in the Los Angeles Times
and other publications, equating the LAPD to the vicious criminal
gangs that plaque our city.
The facts show :hat these same 8300 Los Angeles Police Officers
who are being cast as evil villains by many groups made 304,171
arrests in 1990 and had over one million contacts with citizens
last year alone. Yet with all these arrests and citizen
contacts, less whan one percent of those arrests involved any ueo
of force. Of that less than one percent, resulted in a citizens
complaint. That is a pretty remarkable record and one that is
often overlooked.

no allegation of any law breaking, or of the violation by the
Chief of any rules adopted by the Commission. There has simply
