User:Evan Jordan: Do you have a reliable third-party source for "Under his leadership, the commission became the "driving force" behind several LAPD improvements, including video cameras in squad cars to increase accountability among patrol officers, and the department achieving full compliance with the federal consent decree that had been in place since 2001." please? Sorry, I am not trying to be difficult, but I have nominated this article for Recent Deaths on the main page, and uncited content will stop that from happening.Zigzig20s (talk) 17:34, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
