More fingers point at deputy chief

Five more LAPD officers will hold a press conference Friday to allege misconduct by ex-deputy chief Michael Berkow, Eric Leonard reports at KFI.com. Berkow is the former head of internal affairs, technically the Professional Standards Bureau, accused of having sex with a female officer under his command, harassing a whistleblower and destroying evidence of police involvement in the Notorious B.I.G. murder. Berkow has already admitted to a three-year affair with the officer. One of the steamier allegations is that they were seen leaving a bedroom-equipped LAPD office located in the historic Bradbury Building.
