The Los Angeles Police Department doesn’t know who to blame now for the shooting death of a 19-month-old girl that was shot and killed on Jul. 19, 2005.

Or is it that the police don’t want to put blame on the person who is at fault, the father of the victim Suzie Pena?

According to a 10 page documented report released by the LAPD, S.W.A.T. team members will not be charged with the crime and from saying that the police now can walk around acting as if nothing happened.

The truth of the matter is the police in general can’t be trusted anymore and whether Chief William Bratton would like to confess or not I would not blame the public for not being able to trust police either way.

Have the police forgotten the infamous case of disgraced LAPD officer Rafael Perez and what he did to the department as a whole?

Yes, the fact that he planned evidence against another officer to remove cocaine and was charged with grand theft of taking evidence from a locker.

Take a good look at the type of police department we have. If it can’t be seen that the police don’t know what to do in situations such as the Rampart scandal then how can’t it be seem that the father of Pena was the one who took a risk with putting his daughter in the middle of it. I call it police tactics.

The police should have tried to find a better way of handling the situation but look at what it did. It made them look bad or, in this case, like they did know what to do.

However, that is not the only time the police messed up. Just look at what happened with the infamous case of former football star O.J. Simpson. What he got was an acquittal for the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman following the trial in 1995.

And just who was the officer at the center of that trial as well, but Mark Furman. Did you see that during the trial of the century? Someone seriously needs to implement a background check of any officer who dares to put on a blue inform.

I know what you’re going to say. “Yeah, sure like that’s going to work.” Just like major league baseball now has the steroid policy for baseball players not only do the LAPD have to do background checks on their people who want to service but seriously look in the mirror.

It’s either take a closer look or have the NRA come after you with its brand of justice of the right to bear arms when you become the subject of an investigation. Say thank you to the second amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

That will be the end result for the public when the next standoff between an individual and the police force come to a climax, it will raise the question, “Who are you going to try to blame now?”
