90 bullets fired into a Muslim kid named "Abdul" and claims that he told them he was armed. When the family requested to hear their so-called evidence of him saying he was armed, the police refused to turn over the tapes claiming they "didn't want to disparage the memory of this young man."

LAPD, you have lots of explaining to do.

I know you were referring to the OP, but LAPD appear to have been trained to shoot first, Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #13

Cops know that no actions they do will cause them to lose their job, so why not shoot all you want. Logical Feb 2013 #14
