Hello to all the good citizens out there who are "shocked! shocked!" at the
wretched police excess at the LAPD Rampart Division: Shawn Hubler's Feb. 17
column got it right. You are reaping what you sowed, but as long as it's all
happening to some powerless, poor Hispanic/black other guy, it'll all be
swept under the rug and any reforms will be strictly cosmetic.

A critical examination, reevaluation and reform of our entire system
of crime and punishment will only occur when the CRASH teams are
multiplied by hundreds and turned loose upon the citizens of Santa
Monica, Beverly Hills, Encino, Manhattan Beach and other rich, white
enclaves. When that happens, you'll have profound reform in an eye
blink.
