LAPD Investigation

Sen. Tom Hayden (Commentary, Sept. 28) calls the Los Angeles Police Department “the very agency responsible for putting a bullet in [Javier Francisco Ovando’s] head, leaving him wheelchair bound for life and framing him.”

It’s not just a dozen rogue officers who are responsible, according to Hayden, but the entire department, every one of the other 9,640 men and women of the LAPD. Now, instead of playing the race card, we have polemicists playing the cop card. We deserve a more reasoned approach from our elected representatives.
