First, an in-depth look at the civil rights abuses it details, and then a comparison to L.A.’s history of racism in law enforcement. Next, in our weekly web roundup, CHAPPiE and the unlikely screen debut of Die Antwoord. Then, a new superbug outbreak happened this week at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A.
