The Los Angeles police department has come under scrutiny again after being caught on tape by the LA Community Action Network during the arrest of a homeless man living on Skid Row downtown.
The suspect was charged with illegal possession of
milk crates and was transported to the Twin Towers jail shortly after a police officer rapped up a sweet rendition, hummed through a megaphone, of the theme song from the now defunct television show
'Sanford And Sons'.
Police officials deny there was any wrongdoing and defended their actions.
"Our usual style is to beat the crap out of the suspect Rodney King style and that did not happen. Granted, the officer in questions voice is pretty bad and could be construed as cruel and unusual punishment but other than that the arrest was pretty standard," said a spokesman for the department.
An official from one local milk company released a statement to the press expressing how grateful they were for the return of the two long lost crates whose value is set at approximately $1.25.
