The LAPD is/was, of course, corrupt to the bone, like most organizations in authority. Examples-

At one point, one of the officers testified that King was going in excess of 100 MPH. Only problem was, he was driving an POS 1986 Hyundai. King's lawyers actually brought in some guy from the company in Korea to testify to what is obvious, that is, a 1986 Hyundai can't go that fast, even brand new and in perfect running order (which King's wasn't).

Other cases that happened at that time include a black man driving around South Central with a hidden camera is his car. He made sure he was obeying the speed limit, etc. Sure enough, a LAPD officer pulled him over, handcuffed him...and pushed him through a store's plate glass window. This was caught by the hidden camera.

Another case around that time involved the LAPD basically beating up a large group of people at a party. (I think they were Samoan, I forget.) A neighbor videotaped the ending of the scuffle. They sued the LAPD and the officers themselves. The officers said they were being pelted by hundreds of rocks and bottles before the videotape started. Problem was, the lawn of the house was clean and well manicured, and the street was empty...no rocks, no bottles. The jury found both the LAPD and the officers personally responsible for big $$$$.

Do I have to mention the fairly recent drug dealing and murder by that LAPD officer they have in jail right now?
