    Esqueda was a “member of a very elite task force, the violent persons task force,” Lee said.

    So he was part of the worst of the worst? What’s the bet this cop exercised excessive violence on the regular.

    This is crazy. If you search for Ronnie Palmer, this story pops up with a mugshot of a… rough-looking black guy with dreads and tattoos. But Google shows a picture of a different Ronnie Palmer, who was a white rugby player, for the Wikipedia page for yet another Ronnie Palmer, clean cut black guy who is a former football player and coach. And somebody updated the Wikipedia page to say that Ronnie Palmer is the suspect.
