Our thoughts go out again today to Mrs. Christine Collins of Lincoln Heights,
whose young son, Walter Collins, disappeared nearly two weeks ago.
Though she is not a member of our congregation,
we pray for her today as we have every day,
since we learned of her plight.
On the radio and in the newspapers
we are told that the Los Angeles Police Department
is doing its very best to reunite mother and child,
and I'm sure that that is true.
But given its status as the most violent, corrupt
and incompetent police department this side of the Rocky Mountains
I am not sure it's saying a great deal.
Every day, new bodies appear along Mulholland
and in the ditches of our cities,
the work of Police Chief James Davis and his aptly named Gun Squad.
Every day, the needs of honest citizens
are put second to greed and personal gain.
Every day, this city sinks deeper into a cesspool
of fear, intimidation and corruption.
Once the City of Angels,
Los Angeles has become a place where our protectors
have become our brutalizers.
Where to be the law is to be above the law.
