ITS OK IA,’ So said the license plate on the black on black Mercedes Benz of Kevin Gaines, Suge Knight associate. But Gaines was also not an L.A. cop, he was on the very unit accused of being the most corrupt, racist, and violent in the city- the CRASH unit in the Rampart division.“It’s OK IA” meant iTs ok Internal Affairs - the unit of the LAPD assigned to investigate police corruption- and Gaines knew they were looking at him. How did he have a new Mercedes, among other things- and especially the fact that as as Gang Squad officer he was employed by some of the city’s most dangerous gangbangers- Mob Piru and others at Death Row Records. The car Gaines was driving on the day he was gunned down at a red light on Ventura blvd in the Valley. His killer- a white undercover cop in the area who pulled along said Gaines at a red light on busy Ventura blvd- and the two had a road rage incident, both drawing their weapons- but Lyga was quicker. Big news in LA. White cop kills black cop at a red light. Mind you, this was just 5 years after the riot and the Rampart scandal was starting to bubble.
