Last April, two LAPD cops were searching for suspects involved in a serious accident. During the course of the search they encountered an armed female not involved in the original incident She apparently thought that she was being accosted.
The Officers identified themselves and repeatedly told her to drop the weapon. Did she? Of course not. You see, she’s the estranged wife of a member of the band “weezer.” After she fired the Officers did as trained and addressed the threat. She was shot in the arm.
The LAPD Chief after careful consideration said the Officers acted IAW policy. Not so fast. The police commission overruled the Chief and said they did NOT follow policy. Based upon the commissions extensive and varied police experience they thought the Officers were “Out of Policy.” BULL! The Chief has final disciplinary authority. Hope the Chief governs himself accordingly.
Peace
