Would anyone care to tell me how this man ever became a police officer? Setting aside the vigorous BI, this man should have lit up the polyraph like a pinball machine.

Another fine example of a BI that simply didn't do a THOROUGH investigation. If they would have checked his juvenile records BINGO end of story. My suspicions are that this guy may have had a "friend" or two in high places or his BI was also a Marine.

If he was subjected to a poly, he probably would have PASSED with flying colors.

beech trees,

I was unable to find the article you referenced at the link you provided, but it is also available here:

I'm not certain that this case involves any failure on the part of LAPD polygraphers. LAPD began polygraph screening of all applicants hired in February 2001. The officer involved in this story was hired in 1996. At that time, only those applicants with "unresolved issues" identified by their background investigators were subjected to polygraph "testing." In addition, some special LAPD units required (and continue to require) polygraph screening of officers assigned to them, but it is not clear that the officer involved was assigned to such a unit.

I guess this one just slipped through the cracks.
