Ruben Palomares, a former LAPD officer, disclosed the controversial practices within the Rampart Division’s CRASH (Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums) unit. Palomares described the CRASH unit as operating similarly to a gang, often prioritizing arrests and statistics over ethical policing. He recounted how officers, himself included, would plant narcotics on suspects, especially when dealing with notorious gangs like MS-13, characterized by their notoriety and intimidation tactics. The LAPD, aiming to outmaneuver these street gangs, frequently took justice into their own hands, often skirting official legal procedures. Palomares shared his personal disillusionment, rooted in his early experiences where his well-being was overlooked, fueling resentment towards the department. Even when recovering from a gunshot wound, he was hastily placed back in undercover assignments.
