It is true that Ridley-Thomas advocated for the temporary closure of the trauma center, a place that many believed was the dysfunctional and was endangering the lives the residents of South Los Angeles. Ridley-Thomas admitted to wanting the trauma center closed fixed and reopened. The story missed the other half of the debate, Parks did not answer or address the issue of the LAPD consent decree. Parks blamed the City Council, the City Attorney and the Police Officers. Maybe Parks needs to take responsibility and admit he was to blame as the Chief.
