Including the police, presumably.

LAPD and Inglewood PD are separate police departments. Please correct your blog title. Your information is not correct.
Thank you SO much for pointing that out and apologies to readers for the mis-information and to the LAPD for falling into assumptions quickly based on past incidents. Gotta be a tough job to be a cop and I do realize and respect that.
I think, like many other jobs,the personality types attracted to the proffession fall generally into categories of very good/want to help and serve their communities and those who enjoy power/may incline to abuse it.
I have been a paralegal for many years and see the same tendancies, though applied in different ways, (mostly monetary greed), to lawyers and judges.
The good ones, however, in all categories, are some of the best, if not the best, people I have ever known.
By the way, changing it on the blogs that direct traffic here too.
