LAPD coming to Gay Games to find cops
http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-gay26.html

The Los Angeles Police Department is looking for a few good men and women -- and they're coming to Chicago to find them.

The department will be in the city in July during the Gay Games to recruit officers, even offering a written test over a four-day period, officials there said.

The LAPD also is co-sponsoring the games -- the first in the more than 20-year history of the games that will draw about 12,000 athletes competing in 30 events -- and will be marching in uniform during opening ceremonies along with members of Los Angeles' team, which will include officers.

"It demonstrates the commitment of the L.A. Police Department to diversity," said Kevin Boyer, co-vice chairman of the Gay Games Chicago Board of Directors. "We're very happy they are using the Gay Games to do that. It sends a strong message to other departments and the world."

6. Quite a change...
...from the days of Crazy Ed Davis and Darryl "the reason for so many chokehold deaths of black suspects is that African-Americans have arteries that open up more slowly than those of normal people" Gates.
