Yeah. I just saw the first episode of the third season and that cleared my doubt. The only thing which I really wanted to change about the second season was
The Strike Team was based on the LAPD Rampart Division's corrupt anti-gang unit.
Rampart scandal refers to widespread corruption in the Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums (or CRASH) anti-gang unit of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Rampart Division in the late 1990s. More than 70 police officers either assigned to or associated with the Rampart CRASH unit were implicated in some form of misconduct, making it one of the most widespread cases of documented police misconduct in United States history. The convicted offenses include unprovoked shootings, unprovoked beatings, planting of false evidence, framing of suspects, stealing and dealing narcotics, bank robbery, perjury, and the covering up of evidence of these activities.
The New Rampart Police Station
The Rampart Scandal is notable in popular culture because at least three LAPD officers implicated in the scandal were found to be on the payroll of hip-hop mogul Marion "Suge" Knight of Death Row Records, a convicted felon with known ties to the Bloods street gang. Moreover, LAPD investigators alleged Rampart CRASH officers Nino Durden, Rafael Perez and David Mack were involved in the 1997 drive-by murder of recording artist Notorious B.I.G.
The Rampart investigation, based mainly on statements of the admitted corrupt officer (Perez), initially implicated over 70 officers of wrongdoing. Of those officers, enough evidence was found to bring 58 before an internal administrative board. However, of the officers named by Perez, only 24 were actually found to have committed any wrongdoing, with 12 given suspensions of various lengths, 7 forced to resign or retire, and 5 fired. As a result of the probe into falsified evidence and police perjury, 106 prior criminal convictions were overturned. The Rampart Scandal resulted in more than 140 civil lawsuits against the city of Los Angeles, costing the city an estimated $125 million in settlements.
Homeland E02 was awesome, especially the end.
Homeland is just getting amazing day by day. I'm in love with Claire Danes, amazing actress. She is probably the best actress I've seen on television.
The Lost Room (TV mini-series 2006–*) - IMDbAre there any good one series shows ? Shows which have only one series but do end aptly and not abruptly because they were cancelled or are in Hiatus (for long).
I have this in my pending list as well. A friend of mine recommended it to me earlier. Is it good?
Sei: So it's based off a real life crime unit? Nice! No wonder they went with the gritty grainy visual look. Did you have a chance to look the my comment on Armadillo in the previous page?
Is anyone able to see the spoilers that I am posting? For me, nothing happens when I click on show. They do show up when I click on "Reply with quote" :S
Ethan_Hunt - Are you able to see the spoiler I posted above?
No I can't. Same with my last spoiler too. What's wrong with spoiler tags?
Haha! :bleh:
The reason is because all the remaining spoilers after mine has the same identification i.e. 1. Enter something else there instead of 1.
Wow, it really works. Who was the brilliant chap who came up with this idea?!
The admin. of course.
Now why on God's green earth would one want to do that? Why not just keep it simple and use the old tag?
