HOLY MOTHER OF GOD -- These are the most ignorant posts of all time.

I hope those who posted these things get arrested on DUI charges and die in custody.

If you lived in OC in '03, '04, or '05, you would not think she deserves this.

I left in '05, so it might be better now, but...

Back then, the OCPD's primary goal was revenue generation - not law enforcement. They always had enough cops to do seatbelt stings, and open-container (entrapment) stings, but she complained they didn't have enough officers to fight crime. Yeah right.

There were plenty of good officers there, but overall from the top down, that force was corrupt. When your primary purpose is to collect more money, not fight crime, you are corrupt.
