LOS ANGELES—Despite occupying opposing roles in a good-cop/bad-cop dyad, LAPD officers Frank K. McGrew, 51, and Bob West, 36, have one thing in common: They’re both extremely racist, 77th precinct sources reported Monday.
Their mutual disdain for minorities aside, the two racist partners couldn’t be more different, fellow officers report.
“McGrew is a barrel-chested bruiser with the same close-cropped crewcut he’s had since his cadet days. He’s twice-divorced, spends his nights at a local tavern, and is rumored to have an unending series of problematic short-term relationships with white women half his age,” LAPD officer Terry Steig said. “West, however, is a smiling, kind-eyed listener who enjoys spending weekends in the park and is fiercely devoted to his white wife and their white infant child.
“Sometimes Frank goes too far, but I know his heart is in the right place,” West said. “He just wants to make a difference by protecting and serving good, hard-working white people.”“Sometimes West can be a mollycoddling nanny, but he’s still a good cop,” McGrew said in response. “In his own way, he’s doing what he thinks he has to do to control these stinking, subhuman mud-people.”
Added McGrew: “Sure, sometimes he drives me crazy. I can be one good crack away from getting some beaner to confess, and he’ll break in with his namby-pamby wah-wah, saying he can promise a better life for the 10 dirty little kids the guy must have running around at home. But in the end, we always get the job done. It just goes to show that no matter how different we are, we’re both doing what we need to do to get these animals behind bars, where they belong.
