Basically we had to overcome years of abuse and corruption, ... and build a new police force.

Rodney King was about police abuse, O.J. was about police incompetence, and Rampart is about police corruption. That's a pretty grim picture for the LAPD, ... What Rodney King taught us is you can't ignore the problems and hope they will go away.
