Its Time for BIl Bratton to Ride Off Into The Sunset

Police Commissioner Bratton has done his best work for the city of Los Angeles and should move on to other challenges. The Mac Arthur Park incident is just one of numerous other mishandled costly incidents by the police department. Last month one of Brattons former aides was accused of handing out pormotions based on whether they had sex with him. A few months ago one of his top assitants carried a gun onto an airplane. Then there are the numerous incidents of the police using to much force in apprehending suspects or stopping and harasing motorists for very minor traffic infractions just to bring in revenue. Serous crimes that should have been solved like the resterunts hold-ups in the valley are still open and unsolved with the perpetrators still at large. Mr Bratton thinks that by stopping motorists for minor traffic violations he may stumble across wanted criminals and at the same time bring in revenue. That is a poor way of raising taxes and hasnt brought closure to important criminal cases like the resturant hold-ups in the valley. It really is time for Mr. Bratton to seek employment some place else.
