Just insane:
Seven Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies have been notified that the department intends to fire them for belonging to a secret law enforcement clique that allegedly celebrated shootings and branded its members with matching tattoos, officials said.

I read that else where. No crimes broken. I wonder what the basis for the firing is. Many moons ago deputies at LASO wanted to form a white police officers association. There are black poa's, latino poa's, gay poa's, ect. But no, if one wants a white poa they are automatically labeled racist. I never did get that part, but then I did. Double standards.

IDK, if there's nothing wrong with it, why did it have to be secret?

With all the ethic support groups at work I've wanted to start a WASP group.
If you don't know what that states for, you're much younger then I am...

Maybe Im a sissy, but I dont think I would want to be pulled over by anyone who celebrates "aggressive law enforcement methods" Our law enforcement machine must always be transparent from top to bottom.

Those "clicque" were assigned on anti-gang unit. It means that you were supposed to deal with hard core gang-bangers. And, not pulling you for speeding tickets.

Sounds to me like it is a risk management issue.
If the allegations are true, those law enforcement officers are forever tainted now as far as being able to defend them against wrongful death lawsuits.
It is like the LEO who is convicted of perjury and can never again be credible testifying.
Well, those officers are now a walking liability for the city. If they shoot anyone in the line of duty, the city is in the crosshairs for a wrongful death suit that will be very difficult to defend.
