<P><H3>At it Again - LAPD</H3><P>
On January 27 several prominent Los Angeles lesbian and gay organizations
demanded immediate action against Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers
who committed a hate crime against a young gay man that was documented in a New
York Times Magazine (NYT) cover story on Jan. 22. The NYT story quotes an LAPD
officer in the Rampart Division saying, "Stand still you [expletive] faggot.
You're a faggot aren't you? You look like a faggot... Hey, you got AIDS?" to
Julien, a 19-year-old robbery victim. The young man, alone on the street, had
called police for help. Following this abuse, the officers violated LAPD policy
by abandoning him when he said he wanted to kill himself.<P>
"We will not tolerate hate crimes being perpetrated by our own police force,"
said Lorri L. Jean, executive director of the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Community
Services Center. "The mission of the LAPD is to serve and protect, not seek and
destroy." Specifically, demands have been made that all officers involved in the
incident be removed from street duty, that results of the investigation be made
public, that officers found to have behaved inappropriately suffer the maximum
punishment, that corrective measures be taken to prevent future hate crimes by
officers, that the LAPD issue a public condemnation of the officers' behavior and
a public apology to the young man, and that Chief Willie Williams appoint an
openly lesbian or gay police officer to serve as a liaison to the gay/lesbian
community, as is routinely done with respect to other communities, and create a
special hate crimes unit.
