LAPD, A&E, 1995
The O.J. Simpson case. The Rodney King beating. The L.A. riots. All of these notorious affairs have thrust the Los Angeles Police Department into the glare of the media spotlight.
What do they show? That the badge of the LAPD-once a shining example of efficiency and public service-has become tarnished by scandal.
AMERICAN JUSTICE looks at the evolution of the LAPD from the 1950s to the present.
By examining the landmark cases that defined the department, and talking with former chief Darryl Gates and current chief Willie Williams, LAPD goes behind the scenes to get an insider's view of the controversy that now surrounds the force's every move.
