Worse than Jayson Blair

Patterico points to these two articles on LAPD corruption, the murder of Biggie Smalls, and the L. A. Times.

Once upon a time the city was n bed with Mayor Fletcher Bowron and County Sheriff Eugene Biscalooze. Those were the good old days when the streets were safe and Norman Chandler built the LA Times.

Black Jack: good point. Still, I don’t think it’s ideal, in a racially-charged city, to have an area with 90% black population and only 10% black cops. It just gives fuel to the race baters.

Very strange! The current Rolling Stone article has been removed from link above, & replaced with an older Sullivan piece on the same subject. Even though the article has today’s date (Dec 5), it is NOT the current article. The current (devastating) article WAS there, yesterday.

…giving them extra money…

Not a good idea, Doc. After milking the program, the LAT would accuse greedy city bureaucrats of selecting lower cost white cops over higher priced cops. White cops would have the economic advantage, and we would then need yet another government program, with lots of reporting and regulatory demands, and a director with adequate staff, to “level the playing field.”

How about an angry black man whose name was (unchanged) Arian White?

Well, it ain’t oxymoronic, like Biggie Smalls, but someone should have talked to his mama.

This is news? The LA Times has always had the city government’s back. Remember when the county was hocking all its property to avoid budget cuts in the 90’s? Not a peep from the Times until it was all over.

More and more, I think James Ellroy is if anything not cynical enough. This is what you get with a one-newspaper town.
