They had a tape of him saying it in his mid-30's as an LAPD officer.
Funny thing is, I don’t think I’ve ever known a cop who DIDN’T use that word at one time or another.
It’s a high stress job. And dealing with all kinds of shite every day, the fatigue sets in earlier than for most of us.

OJ's lawyers were very slick but they were scum of the earth human beings.
I could never be a defense lawyer simply due to the fact that, far more often than not, you represent people who are guilty. Despite knowing in your heart of hearts that your client is guilty, you still have to do everything in your power to get them off, because that is the career and livelihood that you have chosen.
I don't fault F. Lee Bailey, Alan Dershowitz, and Johnnie Cochran for stepping up to represent O.J. Simpson. They were high powered attorneys in a high profile murder trial. Their job was to get their client off and keep him out of prison. They succeeded in doing so.

The first domino in the downfall of race relations in modern American times.

Yeah race issues were barely a factor until then

If you’ve dealt with that segment of the population, and he definitely has before, 99% chance you’ve said that word.
At a pre-game tailgate at the 1999 Rose Bowl a friend from LA who was formerly an LAPD police officer was telling stories about being a cop in LA. He was the cop in the movie Heat who gave Al Pacino the shotgun at LAX near the end of the movie. He admitted that he was never a racist but became one after being a cop in South Central in the 1990's and didn't like who he turned into so he left the force and went into the insurance business. He is currently a motivational speaker. He had some good stories about the LA riots.

It definitely set a tone going forward in the country.
The message was race trumps every other issue including murder.
During the BLM riots in 2020 i had this same thought. There was a conflicting narrative especially from the left. This doomsday virus is supposedly going around. People are being arrested for sitting alone on the beach but protests and riots were in full swing because the issue was just too important. "1984" level propaganda happening.

I have a friend who is a retired LAFD fireman. He has some wild stories about getting shot at when the firetrucks would go into the hood to respond to fire alarms,.

I remember back when they had him on the stand and asked about saying it.
I immediately said that his testimony should have been:
"Have I ever said the word or have I ever used it in a derogatory or racist way or discriminated against someone because of their color? Because I am sure that at some point, even though I can't recall when, the word may have been said in some context. Maybe when quoting a rap song or reading a report or a book or quoting a TV show or movie. The word is said all the time as everyone knows. But I have never discriminated against someone because of their color or used the word in the way you are implying."
