...Inside the department, however, not all the rank and file are thrilled with him. "During his tenure he's been trying to send the message that he's supportive of the officers, but what they heard after MacArthur Park was that they were all out of control and damned, prior to an investigation even taking place," says Bob Baker, president of the L.A. Police Protective League, who blames the incident on lack of training and an inadequate number of cops on hand. "Our officers feel very wounded, angry and frustrated, and I don't think the chief realizes how deep...

He and Downie, his 22-year-old fellow plaintiff, both come from a long line of fishermen, and their fathers were together on a boat that sank in 1980. Nobody died in that wreck, and nobody thought to file a compensation claim. They returned to sea the following week.

"You want what's best for your son and for your...
