Calif. Gov. Brown disgraces Calif. by tapping disgraced Sheriff Baca
to conduct Internet crime study
http://j.mp/PgcHky (L.A. Times)
"California Gov. Jerry Brown signs a bill directing Sheriff Lee Baca
and the Alameda County D.A. to determine whether new laws are needed
to curb Web crime."
- - -
Sheriff Baca isn't only unfit to do this study, he's unfit to be
Sheriff -- or perform any other important function for that matter --
he actually belongs in jail himself. If you haven't followed the
ongoing investigations here, Baca has been instigated in a horrific
long-term prisoner abuse scandal in the infamous L.A. County jail
system that he runs, sitting by collecting his paychecks while
deputies ran gang-like cliques and systematically abused prisoners.
He is a disgrace, and it is a disgrace that Gov. Brown is tapping him
to do anything other than resign. More on Baca:
