Former LAPD officer Ruben Palomares shared insights on his interactions with Rafael Perez and David Mack, key figures in the notorious Rampart scandal. Palomares detailed his own participation in illicit activities, indicating that some movie portrayals, like scenes from "Training Day," reflect real-life scenarios. Operating within a corrupt environment, Palomares recounted his operations involving narcotics, cash, and weapons. Despite his efforts to avoid violence, he admits there were instances involving stun guns and beatings. Palomares knew Rafael Perez, who gained infamy for stealing narcotics from LAPD's property room and framing an unarmed gang member, leading to a wrongful 23-year sentence. He also mentioned David Mack's notorious $722,000 bank robbery near USC. While Palomares wasn't close friends with these figures, he acknowledges the widespread corruption within LAPD's CRASH unit.
