Scratch disagreement ... a feud has erupted over the Dr. Conrad Murray case between the LAPD and the Los Angeles County District Attorney ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.
As we first reported, the LAPD was ticked that the D.A. kept top cops out of the loop on the subject of charging Dr. Conrad Murray in the death of Michael Jackson.
We told you that yesterday members of the D.A.'s Office met with the LAPD and everyone agreed that cops would take Dr. Murray into custody, book him and deliver him to the courthouse for his arraignment on involuntary manslaughter charges.
But this morning, the feud has intensified and it's now at the top levels of both the LAPD and D.A. The fight is bitter and ultimately the D.A. could do an end around the PD and just have Dr. Murray show up in court tomorrow.
One law enforcement source tells TMZ relations between the D.A. and the LAPD have "totally deteriorated" over the Murray case.
UPDATE: 2:32 PM PT. One of Dr. Murray's lawyers, Ed Chernoff, just posted on his website that he's working with the D.A. to turn his client in after the case is filed. Chernoff said, "An arrest of Dr. Murray would be a waste of money, time and resources." The LAPD begs to differ.

Maybe the DA doesn't trust some LAPD people much or vice versa, but the you gotta wonder WHY that is.
@TMZ- Is the info coming from a source from just LAPD or are you getting DA input as well cause there are 3 sides to every story, one side, two side and the truth. Just seems like we are only getting input from an LAPD source and nothing on the DA's end?
After the LAPD worked for months doing all the HARD work to make it all fly well once the DA tried the case, this DA's office craps all over them. This DA owes LAPD a major apology. LAPD is very good. I live there. Try the dopes at my other venue: Portland, OR. Sad stuff. The are clueless.
I hope the D.A. will charge him for 2nd degree. Just look at that long list of drugs he gave MJ, and then left him alone for whatever reasons. Wonder if the differences between LAPD & the DA has something to do with what charge - manslaughter or 2nd degree. The latter charge should suffice.
Oh yeah. Its all about the publicity. Great.
Just think about: 2005 vs 2010. 3 million dollars vs 25 000 dollars. 10 charges vs 1 charge. 20some years in prison vs 2 years, maybe on probate. Equalty and justice in the USA?
