I once got out of jury duty in LA by saying that in 40 years of living here, I had never once been "served" or "protected" by the LAPD. (Of course they didn't like my recounting of unplanned participation in the LAPD's first police riot at Century City either)

I was actually interviewed once as a possible juror in the Abner Louima case. I walked in, took one look at the thuggish, ugly cops and thought "they're fucking guilty as sin and I'm gonna find them guilty, period." I doubt I would have been chosen, but the cops copped a plea within a week. I just checked and the worst of them, Volpe (who wouldn't have been out of place in a fistfucking video) was released last year, six years early. good behavior?
