I LOVE L.A.! My Thanksgiving Thanks
Oh look, the squares at the Burbank Police Department are being investigated by the FBI and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department after seven members of the force, current and former, have filed lawsuits regarding human resource issues, sexual harassment and racial discrimination. The latest lawsuit filing comes from a captain who says he was demoted after pushing for an internal investigation on other officers' misconduct.
Although the city's leadership stayed mute on it for months, on Tuesday Mayor Gary Bric said "the City Council is taking every step possible to make sure all of the issues are identified" and "dealt with in a manner that ensures they are never repeated," according to the Daily News. "These are all very serious allegations, and I think it is clear to everyone that the Police Department is facing some major challenges."

Fuck the Burbank PD. In the ass.
ben!!! oh my.
Racial discrimination, misconduct, sexual harassment? Burbank Police? Nooooo wayyyyyy! As someone who definitely has no problem with cops, these guys are fucking pricks.
I remember my friend having an argument with a Burbank cop whether or not she had her foot off the curb "as" or "after" the walk sign had turned on. He was of the opinion that it was "as" and as such she deserved a jay-walking ticket.
Paul, exactly why I call them squares.
Sorry Zach, that actually wasn't a dig at you: it was my unsurprise that they are being investigating. I was very glad to see this on here today.
you said it Ben!!
the latest from LA Times. FBI probing claims of excessive force by Burbank Police. http://bit.ly/4cUACt
wow...i must be the only person who has had nothing but good experiences with the burbank PD.
just like anywhere else, there are some really nice police officers in burbank who do a good job (just as there are bad ones) so how about we not paint them with such a broad brush.
Im not even gonna get started... Im sure there are enough stories about the Burbank (and Glendale) PD to go on for days.
