Joseph Wambaugh Lead Quotations

The scandal, I can tell you for sure, is much smaller than the press would lead you to believe, ... It's driven by the L.A. Times, which hates the administration of the LAPD and has for many years. Part of the fault of that lies with LAPD, for not cozying up to the Times when it should have. I think a police department must give access to the press, and be open with the press, and the LAPD was not for many years, and they're paying the price for it now.
