Michelle Jordan: LAPD Take-Down of Woman in Foothill Area Caught on Video

Leave the LAPD ALONE!!!!!  They do their jobs and risk their lives doing it.  Also, they are just as good as DIA/CIA, maybe better, and mixed with the movie fight club, come to find out.  They have inner resources through clandestine, "unofficial" intelligence's (which lead to official that is) which is far superior than any other department we know of.  Far more than you would even think, and they have eyes/ears everywhere.  Think of the gal at the supermarket cash register, you mess with her.......well you gonna mess with her buddies with the LAPD and she is going to turn that information such as CC numbers or CADL over to the force for unofficial investigations or surveillance which in turn (volunteer that is, not on the cities dime don't worry) into official once the intelligence is classified of importance.  I won't comment on the intelligence's which led to the parking lot, but it had something to do with the Del Taco.  Those who do things wrong or lie, you will be dealt with one day, and you may be watched right now as we speak.  Furthermore, the motive is that this story is just media hype to ruin the departments name and image.  The video may not lie, but remember my fellow American's, a picture is worth a thousand words, and video is multiplied by a factor of more than 100 million words.  The picture I'm talking about is the time it took for the women to get out of her car and what we don't know was said in the video to the officers. 

This didn't happen to me, so why should I care?

it was your choice Chief Beck, to run your department by following the example of the Los Angeles City Council in conducting themselves as privileged in perpetuity members of an elite Country Club.

Do you believe that placing Captain Hiltner on full time at the driving range is sufficient reform?

 Will airing the soiled laundry left over from one training day in Foothill chase the genie back into the bottle for air?

Chief Beck - don't you realize that you outed yourself as the benign caretaker of a sandbox full of snotty sniveling brats almost 2 years ago?

the Chief in authority of a professional police department would have charged in - taking names and yanking stripes of anyone responsible for Day 2 of the Stenroos hoax.

Instead, you put the blinders on. Your actions and inactions placed an essential seal of approval from HQ onto the selfish, self-serving fiasco of Stenroos Day 2.

Stenroos Day 2 merited a public ceremony announcing reassignment downward to chalking tires for Commander Albanese.

When you allowed the Valley Division produced clown show of Stenroos Day 2 to pass into the books with your imprimatur, that was when you forfeited the balance of credibility remaining in your personal account as Chief of LAPD.

I really want you to succeed in leading the LAPD.  I desperately need you to succeed.

I'm afraid that routine and oganizational memory is about all that holds the department together at this point in time. Every little storm threatens to blow another division into a state of chaos or mutiny.

Your cause as Chief is almost hopelessly irretrievable at this point. That is my depressing, yet honest and blunt assessment, Chief Beck.

Only quick and radical decisionmaking can personally restore you to the respect and authority associated with your title.  Your employees and the City of Los Angeles desperately need a demonstration to affirm that you lead a professional big-city police department, and not some cushy air-conditioned country club.

You could do it tomorrow morning, Chief Beck. But you won't. Because you want to remain popular with the boys in the frat house. The captains and commanders know they can get you to back down with their chorus of frowns and bellyaching.

You might take a few minutes to reread the job description for an effective Chief of LAPD.

No friends. No old friends. No new friends.

Only individuals whose loyalty is proven and trusted. And individuals whose loyalty remains in doubt.

its not supposed to be a country club. if your organization wants to operate as a country club - then let the members start paying the outrageous dues on their own.

Do you call yourselves an organization of law enforcement professionals?

Then prove it!

Reassign every station captain right now! Rotate the entire command staff and the entire patrol staff, right now.

Break up every comfy partnership and every calcified, cozy roll call. 

If you are a professional department composed of properly trained professionals than you can implement top to bottom reassignment at no extra cost and nary a whimper of complaint or a step missed.

That may be your last chance to put the "Chi" back in Chief. and possibly reinvigorate the organization with the self-respect it will take to weather the unseen storms which lie ahead.

She is clearly guilty of failing to exhibit the abject, sniveling, pants-wetting subservience which is the proper disposition for any citizen in a police state.  How DARE she?!

We don't absolutely need them -- especially as a permanently chartered and more-and-more omnipresent community entity.

Here's an enlightening bit from Wikipedia on the history of the police state:

"The term 'police state' was first used in 1851, in reference to the use of a national police force to maintain order, in Austria. In fact, even on a local level, the use of a police force to actively maintain order, outside of emergencies, was nearly unknown before this time."

There is only one way to stop this nonsense,  start paying the law suits that arise from these brutal LAPD beatings out of the police budget.  LAPD can make up the shortfall by cutting every single officers pay, especially the commanders, then watch how fast the LAPD starts to 'police' their own to keep them in line.

Our community and civil servants are supposed to be those whom we look up to, role models for our young people and here to protect our basic rights.  This is a disgrace to the city, community and all Police departments.  It creates distrust for all future incidents between a truly dangerous offender and police officers.

An officer in control does not have to abuse physically for a person with a stupid mouth, we make them accountable by placing consequences on their behavior.  These officers behaved like the bottom of the food chain, uneducated with a little power and using it inappropriately, "trailer trash" Don't we educate them better than this?  There are so many other reasons her behavior could of been erratic, which is why we count on them to be in control.  What shame and disgrace to our P.D.s all over.

Poor Michelle, she never saw Chris Rock's educational video: "HOW NOT TO GET YOUR 'BUTT' KICKED BY THE PO-LICE"

I bet the registered nurse was going for the officer's gun just like that kid who was skateboardin north in the southbound in VB -  We have seen a rash of these street thugs trying to disarm our law enforcement warriors!  And that banker dude...He was going for the Cop's Glock you can bet dollars to donuts! People are so HARD now days!

The bitch totally had it coming. I only wish they would have tied her to the hood of the police car and drove around Foothill Blvd as a warning to anyone else thinking of yakking on their cell phone.

You mean LAPD has stoped beating up Blacks, and Browns and started on the Whites? They ARE out of control, this IS an OUTRAGE!

Go back to beating up minorities so it wont make the news.

LAPD Chief Charlie Beck must resign after this surge of Civil Rights violations by LAPD officers.
