"Makeover advised for gang member kicked by El Monte officer"


"The attorney for a gang member kicked in the head by an El Monte police officer at the end of a televised car chase thinks his client has a great case. On Thursday, Nick Pacheco filed a $5-million legal claim against the city on behalf of the 23-year-old.

"But just in case, the attorney said his heavily tattooed client will be getting an extreme makeover in time for a trial, complete with a thick Tom Selleck mustache -- think 'Magnum P.I.' -- to cover the name of his street gang, which is inked on his upper lip. Richard Rodriguez will also grow hair to cover the tattoos on his shaved head. And he'll wear a nice, conservative suit.

"To make his point, Pacheco used Photoshop to show the difference."

What? All of a sudden he isn't proud of his affiliation? He's ashamed of his brothers? I thought gangs were thicker than blood? He's dissing his family. They should make an example of him.

And he will have his mother in court along with some preacher telling what a good guy he is for the community.

As long as they have him on video, they should freeze frame a spot where you can really see what he looks like and leave it up there for all the jury to see and be reminded of what a outstanding guy he really is.
