Cop wife outraged with Bratton
From Thursday's Daily News letters:
Betrayal at the top
Re "It's official: 2nd term for Bratton" (June 20): As the wife of an LAPD officer, I am disgusted that Bratton was appointed for another term as police chief. He could not be more undeserving of this honored position. He turned his back on these devoted, hardworking officers when he did not stand by them after the MacArthur Park incident. It is obvious that they did exactly what they were trained to do. No wonder the morale is down in the department.Being a police officer can be a lonely life for the officer and his wife and children. But nothing could be more upsetting than to have the "father" of the LAPD betray his "family." He let politics get in the way of performing his duty as police chief.
