New LAPD Policy: Shoot First, Ask Questions Later
The newest victim of the Los Angeles Police Department is 13-year-old Devin Brown, who was shot dead after stealing a car and leading police on a 3.5-mile chase. Brown's 14-year-old accomplice fared better, merely getting arrested after attempting to flee the scene. Police say they suspected Brown was a gang member, when he was in reality a student at a school for gifted children. It appears that some LAPD officers are not quite so gifted. Source
