The event was the capper for a charity golf event, thrown by retired LAPD Officer Joe Myers, a 32 year veteran who left the force in 2007. Were told 50-60 people attended the dinner, and about half were cops, most of whom were retired. The others were civilians. Singer Gary Fishell is a P.I. who once worked as an investigator for the Federal Government. His lawyer tells TMZ, Fishell now realizes the song was off color and in poor taste. The lawyer adds, Hes a goofball who writes funny songs. We asked why Fishell would sing this in a room full of cops, and the lawyer replied, He thought the room would get a kick out of it. Joe Myers tells TMZ, How can I dictate what he [Fishell] says in a song? Myers goes on, This is America. We can say what we want. This is a free America. Myers adds ... hes done this as an annual event for decades and has raised a lot of money for charity. Someone who was at the event videotaped it because they were offended by the song and upset no one was objecting.
