21-hour days and $320,000 of overtime highlight 'shocking' extra pay to 7 LMPD officers

Most of these criminals live in apartments, projects, or crowded neighborhoods where people are frequently standing around outside. If you give them a little info, they will know exactly who did it because they usually know who the potential shooters are on their corner. They won't say anything if it will get them killed, which is why it's preposterous to bring your upper middle class east end moral values on TV to lecture them about doing "the right thing." To them the right thing is not getting murdered by one of the shooter's fellow gang members. If you want them to talk, you must guarantee total anonymity and in most cases give them several hundred dollars to spur their interest. Nothing in life is free.
