L.A. County Sheriff's Department intends to fire seven deputies

Seven Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies have been notified that the department intends to fire them for belonging to a secret law enforcement clique that allegedly celebrated shootings and branded its members with matching tattoos, officials said.

The Times reported last year about the existence of the clique, dubbed the Jump Out Boys, and the discovery of a pamphlet that described the group's creed, which required aggressive policing and awarded tattoo modifications for police shootings.

The seven worked on an elite gang-enforcement team that patrols neighborhoods where violence is high. The team makes a priority of taking guns off the street, officials said.

The Sheriff's Department has a long history of secret cliques with members of the groups having reached high-ranking positions within the agency. Sheriff officials have sought to crack down on the groups, fearing that they tarnished the department's reputation and encouraged unethical conduct.

Lovely.

It's not like I didn't believe that psycho cop's story.

Serial killers with badges, basically. Charming.

Not that far north.

Think Chinatown. With Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway and John Huston.

Kansas accuses Nebraska of stealing their water. Nothing new here. California was stealing Oregon electricity during that power crisis a few years ago. Stealing water is child's play.

All they gotta do is dig a big ditch through Oregon connecting the Columbia River with the California Canal Systems. Fat chance...
