Katherine Mader
* Re “City’s First Police Watchdog Resigns Post,” Nov. 11:
The only reason Katherine Mader resigned her position as inspector general of the LAPD is solely because of politics or, more correctly, political correctness. Chief Bernard Parks wants his way, no matter what the system of checks and balances or the Christopher Commission says, and if someone poses a threat to his fiefdom, well, they’ll just have to go. The only way to put this in proper perspective is to ask yourself a simple question: What would the Police Commission do about the current flap if the chief of police was Daryl Gates instead of Parks? I rest my case.

The LAPD obviously doesn’t want a watchdog. The department prefers a lapdog.
