You know what would help the LAPD and cops across the country?
If they stop shooting people and then trying to cover it up with lies, then their reputation would be better.
If everyday a story didn’t come out where we had to question why a person is laying dead and beaten on the street, no one would have to say NWA was adding “fuel to the fire”.
The cops we spoke with share one sentiment … the movie portrays the LAPD officers as “beating machines” … brutalizing innocent citizens in the inner city.
Former L.A. City Councilman Dennis Zine, who was himself an LAPD cop and headed up the Police Protective League, tells us, “It’s a terrible time to release a movie like this. It adds fuel to the fire for hating cops.”
What’s sad is a record that is almost 30 years old, is as accurate today as it was in 1988.
Cops need to clean up their own house first, before commenting on anyone else’s home.
