South Gate officers win suit

Recall the current Council Members. Fire the most corrupt police Chief in California and stop the bleeding. We've been told that the tax payers are paying out over $100,000 a month, in interest to law suits they have lost due to the Chief's corruption and cronnies......
We are asking for 60 minutes or 20/20 to come in and expose the State's most corrupt City.

Evan..... You are so right but what I have seen the last 10 years is that if you remove all the corrupt officials in South Gate, another less then honorable will take his/her place...60 minutes or 20/20 should take a close look...but then there is Lynwood, Bell, Maywood, Downey ...What do these towns have in common...

South Gate has a great chief of police. You don't know what you are talking about.

Uh, corrupt? And what would lead you to believe he is corrupt? Corupt is Baca taking kickbacks or getting SOME type of favor for catering to that skank Paris. THAT'S corrupt. South Gate's chief does an excellent job and trhe city is back on track. You have no idea what you're talking about. "We've been told..." By who have you been told. Name your sources or shut up.

I have only read a few articles about this case and don't know all the facts, but it sounds like the cops are just "money hungry". I hope they don't get anything. I heard those 4 cops were never associated or "friendly" with Rick Lopez.

Yep! It's time to clean house. That police department and city has a LONG history of "good 'ol boy" syndrome and their current Chief and Capt. W.R. aren't innocent. I think you will find that there are all kinds of quid pro quo going on. Not to worry though, from what I understand a big suprise will be coming soon from the feds. Bye bye Chief R.T. Stand by! Can you spell RICO ??? Also, whoever said that those four cops that won the suit weren't supportive of the former latino chief, you are right! They just found an opportunity to make some $$$$$

I don't think you know South Gate very well. The current Chief is at the root of the problems in that department and has been for many many years. I'm sure ur right about Baca and I'm sure he'll get his day to answer questions as will Chief RT and Capt. WR. Also, I don't need sources...I know first hand! It's about time!

Lived here for over 30 years. I know the Chief quite well personally as well as your "Capt WR." I've been heavily involved in the City Government for many years and can say without reservation that any problems you associte with the police department and the Chief are entirely groundless. Everything is running well, the crooks are gone. Sure, there will always be some critics but we could sure do a whole lot worse and not much better given the area. Even Downey is going to Hell. At least South Gate kids don't riot.

Besides making some remarks out of left field, can you back this up with some statistics. Something solid and NOT hearsay. And from where do you hear this? People inside or disgruntled angry former employees or a rumor mill? Please enlighten me so I can respond intelligently. Also, he hasn't been the Chief for many many years. Maybe four? He came in when Lopez was ousted from power along with his henchmen.

But isn't everything hearsay? The "good ol boy thing" has always existed in South Gate. You sound like you've been around and you know what i mean. I don't think you're just a resident!

No one is going to give statistics. The current chief is a good man. But come on, you know there is one captain that thinks this is still 1980. From what i've heard!

I bet you got some stories that to certain cultures would be really bad. And maybe to your conscience too. I used to know a seargent in the military that when he died, everbody was happy!
Isnt't that sad?

The "good ol boy thing" has been around forever. Let's face it, if it comes down to favoring a friend or backer, versus an unknown, whu are YOU gonna go with? It's human nature. We all take care of our own. Sometimes, however, those that we THINK are friends are the first ones to stab us in the heart if it would benefit them.

Okay, not statistics. Those are numbers and someone's job performance is hard to quantify. What about facts? Give us something.
