#6 Translation, the LAPD is too white and we need to remove the criminal history restrictions that prevent us making it more black!

Over the years I spent a lot of time with mid-level LAPD and LASD management in public safety and homeland security policy development and management. The classic LAPD culture in the Daryll Gates era had a certain aggressive attitude that was encouraged and celebrated. In a vast urban landscape, law enforcement had no realistic way to create widespread personal connections that required individual familiarity by the community with dedicated, local patrol officers. The radio-car, call for service style differed from the east coast, NYPD ability to flood neighborhoods with foot patrols and Officer-to-business connections. instead, the LAPD had a more brusque, suppressive style, visible patrol units and anti-gang units with extensive intelligence files and assessments.
What this created was a deep, antagonistic mistrust within minority communities for whom the LAPD was viewed by many as the enemy, not the defense against crime. So, for many minority residents, the LAPD was one or two white cops driving through Boyle Heights or Compton looking to make cases or serve warrants.

In the era of Obama/Biden and woke, as the political power of LA has "browned" the animosity/attitude grown over decades has surfaced with enormous political power, giving rise to Bass and Gascon, but inevitably leading to ruining what traditions of public safety that remained. Consider the meaning of "Apres Moi, le deluge" Mayor Bass, as you eviscerate the LAPD.

#7 I suspect that the barriers would be drug convictions and pervious gang membership. Removing those obstacles will work with respect to recruiting quotas. I think that an inclusive policy with regard to criminals will yield a result that we all expect.

#9 I suspect that the barriers would be drug convictions and pervious gang membership.

Along with the inability to read and write at a high school level.
