Bad reporting from Joel Rubin of the LA Times.

Bad reporting. Why wasn't Rubin's article balanced? It's not as if the police don't go to great lengths to protect crooked cops.

It's not as if Rubin couldn't have done a little background on this. Instead, readers were not treated to LAPD's history of protecting bad cops. Bad reporting.
