Apparently LA Police Chief Bratten let his loose lip sink a ship, so to speak:

IOs, PIOs, and PAOs must display disciplines that rub our Freedom of Speech heritage the wrong way.
That said, when any of us stray from known and solid facts, we get into the deep end of the pool. Unless you are a proficient PAO swimmer, you'll drown. That said, deep end PAO work is productive. Because you are eventually trusted by commanders and the media, in our case. (this is done through much ground working of relationships with both groups prior to any major event) You can become an emissary, an ambassador, a statesmen, an arbiter and fairly represent both sides to one another. This delicate dance is among the rarest of PAO virtues. It isn't for beginners. It is not for the faint of heart. It is not to be taken lightly. It is not easy and even the highly experienced can show signs of stomach cramps, so to speak. I offer Chief Bratten and Lindsay Lohan, both of whom have the best Publicity people in the business in their employ, as example.
^ If they would show the entire clip and not pieces, you would see the media was pressing him and he kinda slipped up because he was getting aggravated. He was totally correct though!
Perez Sez....
So serious so fast????
Take this for what it's worth, but the News Of The World is claiming that Lindsay Lohan and saMAN Ronson will be walking down the aisle later this year.
We think they should wait at least 'til after Portia de Rossi and Ellen have their wedding.
P & E need to have the honor of the first, full-on celeb lesbian wedding that is accepted by the government as legally binding!
P.S. Dontcha think LezLo and saMAN need to come out about their relationship before they get married???
I didn't think you could keep this relevant.
