Oh yeah, I remember hearing about this as a local-ish. He's bum hurt about criminal justice reform in Cali (non violent offenders getting less or no jail time, that kinda thing). Makes this job "harder" he says.

It makes me wonder honestly if cops were always this corrupt, or if they've become more corrupt over time. I'd believe either being the case honestly, but maybe the former is a perception borne from all the pro police media there were in the 90s, 00s, and 10s. Hell, even today.

I take it with a grain of salt since they were cops during the Civil Rights movement, and they didn't quit, and because none of them realize that QI is illegal.
The article says his department's budget has increased by $270 million since newsom took office. Poor guy is underfunded!
