HILARy DE WITT
May 15, 1991
SUBJECT: TELEPHONE CONVERSATION WITH ALAIMQ ON MAY 14, 1991
Mr. Alaimo has no specific complaint against any one
particular officer? however, he has had many experiences with the
LAPD in general when he owned his business at 164 N. La Brea.
According to Alaimo, he would complain to policemen on duty about
the influx of gangs in the La Brea area and was told by a
policeman, "Get lost." Alaimo*s general complaint is he feels
that policemen are engaged in "wars against the neighbor" but
didn't at any time during our telephone conversation define what
he meant by that.
Alaimo has spoken with District Attorney Burley Justine
and a Mr. White also with the DA's office, about his dealings
with the police and that he feels policemen are untrustworthy
and if you complain about them you will "get in trouble." Alaimo
stated that the police here in the states are just like the
"facista" that was once in Italy,
Alaimo has a very, very heavy Italian accent and it was
extremely difficult to understand him. However, the gist of
Alaimo's complaint is that the LAPD are unresponsive and when you
complain against the police, you will "get in trouble."
Mr. Alaimo is the owner of Roma Fine Custom Upholstery
and can be reached at:
403-1/2 South Fairfax Avenue
Los Angeles, California 90048
Telephone: (213) 655-4115
