The complaint is that if the law is the law then every case should be handled the exact same. Regardless of who it is. A phone is a phone 3 daughters is 3 daughters. It should not matter whose phone or whose daughters.

They are simply showing how bad/corrupt/failed the current law system is.

Characterizing the incident as involving "a phone" is like saying that Ms. Gonzales lost 3 mammals: true, but bereft of essential detail.

If every case "should be handled the exact same", explain to the LAPD they don't need seven (7) divisions and could save tax dollars:

  - Vice Division
  - Juvenile Division
  - Commercial Crimes Division
  - Detective Support & Vice Division
  - Robbery Homicide Division
  - Force Investigation Division
  - Gang and Narcotics Division
