LAPD Command Structure Bill Bratton \ 57 \ Chief of Police

The former Chief of Police of the NYPD, Bratton, is one of the most successful and well-known police chiefs in the world. Bratton has made a career out of being politically savvy and a smart, calculating businessman. As the owner of his own security firm, Bratton has enriched himself and his cronies that he infused into departments in Boston, New York City, and Los Angeles. Bratton took over the LAPD at the height of the scandal, and under a federal, consent decree. Bratton has become savvy operating in and around scandal. His team of advisors have followed him from each police departments in various cities.

Mike Berkow \ 53 \ Deputy Chief of Police

Berkow was the first Deputy Chief of the LAPD, who was not named from within the ranks of the department. Berkow also became the hatchet man for Bratton; he dealt with issues with the City Attorney and the FBI. He was the main source of false leaks to the LA Times.

Berkow developed a salacious and illegal relationship with journalist, Chuck Phillip. Phillips printed false and damaging information in the LA Times in regards to Rampart and the Biggie Smalls’ murder. Berkow was heard on confidential recordings trying to ruin the career of Phil Carson. He also discredited a high-level FBI informant in the Biggie case. Berkow reported directly to Bratton and managed any information coming out of LAPD’s Robbery Homicide Division.

Jim McDonald \ 49 \ Assistant Chief of Police

McDonald, another high-level, Bratton advisor, was the first, command-level staff that allowed Carson to see the Biggie Smalls’ Murder Book. McDonald was also sophisticated when it came to maneuvering police scandal and working City Hall, the City Attorney, and the press inside Los Angeles. McDonald and Carson had a good relationship, but many have speculated that McDonald had a direct connection to covering up the involvement of LAPD officers in the murder of Biggie.

Bernard Parks \ 63 \ Former Chief of Police

There is no doubt that the Rampart Police Scandal happened on the watch of Bernard Parks, a power player inside Los Angeles He was a great police officer with tremendous ambition and a growing power base inside the African-American community, who placed him there after the Rodney King Riots.

From 1997 to 2002, Parks was a part of arguably two of the biggest, police scandals in the history of America. It is rumored that he personally recruited David Mack and Rafael Perez. It was evident that Parks prevented elite, Detective Russell Poole from investigating the killing of Biggie Smalls. Parks and his command staff used detectives within Robbery Homicide to hid evidence and blackballed Poole out of the LAPD. Parks was never held accountable for the crimes and corruption inside Rampart. He insulated himself from any direct connection.

A man who moves in the shadows, Big U is the leader of the very powerful Rolling 60s Crips. Standing at 6 ‘7” and 270 pounds, Big U at one time protected Suge Knight. It is rumored that he was really running Death Row Records while Suge Knight was in jail. There was nothing that happened in South Central that Big U was not privy to or had a hand in. His base of power and economics has always been in the Hip-Hop music industry and extorting professional athletes in the NFL and NBA.

FEDERAL

b6

As the lead City Attorney, Vincent was tasked with protecting the interests of City Hall and the LAPD. With Rampart and the Biggie Smalls’ cover-up, the City of Los Angeles had potential payouts in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Vincent was the hatchet man on the legal side, intimidating witnesses, and covering up any leads that could result in massive damages.

They also printed confidential information in regards to Psycho Mike Robinson and his work with the FBI. The main journalist who was leaking information and writing articles was Chuck Phillips.

Phillips worked directly with Mike Berkow to ruin Phil Carson’s career and to discredit any investigation that had to do with the public corruption and civil rights violations of the LAPD. There are recorded phone calls between Berkow and Phillips, which have been heard by Carson, that plainly state that Phillips should find any and all dirt on Carson, and write disparaging articles on the investigation. Phillips was ultimately let go, but not before the paper of record had written at least five articles that were falsely reported.
