"Behind the Bastards" podcast, Daryl Gates and LAPD garbage
I'd watched that amateur documentary about the D.A.R.E program and Daryl Gates' need for control and paranoia causing the creation and his own downfall, but it either was not mentioned in the documentary (or I missed it) that he'd also created SWAT. Man, wild fucking single power hungry asshole in LA causing a national problem (and wider too I imagine).

@BuddyGoodboyEsq@renbymon I didn't realize this was serious fully till now; went to look it up. Crazy that he was brought on by Sierra for it _after_ getting ousted for the riots.

@KayOhtie@renbymon Yeah, I only found out about this end of things when Boozy Badger played through the Police Quests earlier this year. I hadn’t connected it to the other parts.
