EVEN A Joe Friday, equipped with a college education and all the sensitivity-training the Los Angeles Police Department can offer, would probably find pounding a beat on the hostile streets of Watts a frustrating experience.

The mayor compounded his mistake by issuing his approval of shooting looters. The overall effect was to undermine the police department's chain of command and encourage the ranks to react violently at the later civil disturbances. That they...
