To the editor: The article about the LAPD and the racist comments made by some officers is disturbing, but not surprising (“the secret recordings reveal that LAPD police show racist, sexist and homophobic comments, alleges that the complaint”, March 10). However, the public will never discover what happened to these officers due to privacy laws. So we have not achieved anything, just another report without conclusion.

To the editor: The story of racist comments in LAPD is clearly illustrated in Joseph Wambaugh's novels, a former police officer who was prolific in the 1970s. “The New Centurions”, “The Blue Knight” and “The Choirboys” sound exactly like the recordings described in the article. Obviously, little or nothing has changed in the following years.
