    Ayman is right. Trump is the wannabe dictator I’ve warned about fur more than five years.

    In all of my years covering wars and authoritarian leaders around the world and even with their disdain for a free media, I have never heard one of those leaders call the shooting, targeting and/or injury of a reporter “a beautiful thing” the way Trump has spoken about

    6/ In 1992, working for , where editors had strong backbones, I revealed LAPD “command cadre critique” of Rodney King riots. It showed Gates' top staff rated him an incompetent poseur. That story ran in every SoCal newspaper -- except the LATimes.

    4/ A top cop warned I might get killed. I said not to worry, then wrote a very long memo to file in case I was dead wrong. In 1982 Gates told my editors I was crazy for working on story of undercover officers in Moscow & Havana. Gates got it killed; got LAT to shut me down.

    3/ Jennifer never flinched despite 6 burglaries of my cars (one when parked under Parker Center, the LAPD HQ). Each time all papers except registration & insurance card were stolen while parking meter coins left in open ashtray were untouched. 7th burglary scared her.

    2/ Gates' words told me he really was running a massive political spying operation, as and Coalition Against Police Abuse claimed. I pursued LAPD spy stories relentlessly as well as bad shootings, chokeholds, corruption, faux "world-class policing" myth in the news.
