Cop-Clique Celebrates G-Style Cap Bustin'

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. When you put police on a pedestal, make them more "special" than the citizens, all you are doing is supporting a gang of untouchables more sinister than the most hardened criminals. Thugs in blue folks, think about what you are supporting when you support the police without question...

Tattoo in sheriff's deputy clique may have celebrated shootings, sources say 

The investigation into a secret clique within the Los Angeles County sheriff's elite gang unit has uncovered allegations that members had matching tattoos of a gun-toting skeleton, which deputies would modify to celebrate their involvement in a shooting, according to sources close to the internal probe.

One deputy, who has admitted belonging to a clique called the "Jump Out Boys," has identified about half a dozen other deputies as members, one source confirmed. Those men are expected to be summoned for interviews with internal affairs investigators, the source said.


Suspicion about the group's existence was sparked several weeks ago when a supervisor discovered a pamphlet laying out the group's creed, which promoted aggressive policing and portrayed officer shootings in a positive light.


The pamphlet was found in the vehicle used by the deputy who acknowledged his association with the clique, according to sources who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about the ongoing investigation.


Days after The Times reported on the discovery of the pamphlet, the captain of the division gathered his deputies for a private briefing, during which he told them they had shamed the department by forming the group and urged those responsible to identify themselves, a source with knowledge of the unit's inner workings said.


At some point, one deputy came forward, and he has since named about six others, the source said.


Internal affairs investigators are trying to determine whether the deputies violated Sheriff's Department rules or committed serious misconduct.
