Answer: No

Explanation: He believed that he and the LAPD were doing the city's "most important work" and that they are only accountable to none of themselves. His troops were seen as arrogant or aggressive when it came to their policies and the aftermath was catastrophic. Alot of unarmed suspects were killed by offers whom of which rarely were held accountable for what they partook in.
