Police officer indicted in off-duty fight told grand jury he and friend were attacked

I can understand why LMPD sends laterals through basic again. Our department is so much different that anywhere else in the state that it's needed. You wouldn't want a beat partner who had only been to Richmond. If you didn't go to Richmond, you'll have to trust me on that one.

I remember a guy LMPD wanted bad - but when told he had to go to the academy he turned it down flat. He is happily working at another in the area.
