Quote:Well, that book was written in 1980 so I doubt it would have much relevance about the department 36 years later as I'm sure the LAPD is much different. It was also an extreme far left book written by a Marxist scholar. You are reading Marxist literature my friend. I have worked with the LAPD. They are on the forefront of every new use of force device, training and and tactics. My wife is in Los Angeles right now watching the CrossFit Games. I wouldn't allow her into the city if I thought it was controlled by a military police department that suspended people's rights.
