LAPD Chief to Retire: Get Ready for Backstabbing and Bloodletting

By Jack Dunphy January 28, 2018

If you’re passing through downtown Los Angeles in the coming days, be warned of increased danger. I’m not talking about the terrible traffic, the squalid conditions on Skid Row, or even the violent crime (aggravated assaults up 139 percent in 2018 over the same period last year). All of that is child’s play compared to the bloodbath about to break out at the intersection of First and Main Streets, which you would be wise to avoid until at least June.

And why is this intersection, with City Hall on one side of the street and LAPD headquarters on the other, so perilous? Because in both of these buildings, in the offices of their most powerful occupants, the long knives are being unsheathed for the coming frenzy of backstabbing and bloodletting.

Charlie Beck, chief of the LAPD for the last eight years, has announced his intent to retire in June, when he turns 65. And now all the people who will seek to replace him, along with their retinues of toadies, lackeys, and hangers-on, will soon set to the task of elevating their own status while tearing down the competition.

People unfamiliar with how police departments work may be surprised to learn there are three basic types of police officers: slugs, real cops and climbers. The slugs are those who are content to show up to work every day and collect their paychecks every other week while having little interest in exerting themselves in the cause of safer streets. They do the absolute minimum expected of them, and when some dangerous situation arises, if they’re found in the vicinity at all it will be as far away from the center of action as they can place themselves.

Real cops, who can be found in patrol, detectives, and in some non-administrative specialized units, are those who get down in the muck and mire of law enforcement that the slugs so assiduously avoid. They put their hearts into the work and take pride in bringing lawbreakers to justice. And, to the amazement of the slugs, they enjoy it.
