...black people have been telling them all these years: that the ranks of major police departments all across the country are full of Fuhrman-style lying bigots? Not all cops, by any means, not even most of them, but enough to generate a steady stream of racially motivated police misconduct. Most of it never makes the national news--the hundreds of cases in which minority suspects are manhandled, beaten or even killed.

...startling reversal that could delay resolution of his ethics case, Senator Bob Packwood asked for public hearings into the charges accusing him of sexual and professional misconduct. The Oregon Republican said he chose this course when the Senate Ethics Committee "changed the rules in the middle of the game" by reopening the investigation to consider two new complaints.

...officers are framing Simpson, maintaining that "it is inconceivable that behind this one murder all of a sudden you're going to get 10, 20, 30 or 40 people ... from six or seven different department organizations, to plot against Mr. Simpson." As for Fuhrman's descriptions of police misconduct, Williams snapped: "We have zero tolerance for racism, sexism and any type of anti-Semitism. That is nonnegotiable...
