Joe Domanick on Bratton
On Wednesday, LA Police Chief Bill Bratton (left) announced that he's quitting. Joe Domanick, of USC's Annenberg Institute for Justice and Journalism, and author of "To Protect and To Serve," a history of the pre-Bratton LAPD, says Bratton brought "adult supervision" to the force, and maybe his reforms will stick.
