No Charges for LAPD Who Shot Newspaper Delivery Women

The LA District Attorney announced today that eight officers of the LAPD will not be charged in a case of mistaken identity. Two years ago, former cop Christopher Dorner was on a rampage, threatening murder, and the manhunt was on. In Torrance, Margie Carranza and her mother, Emma Hernandez were delivering newspapers from a pickup truck. The officers opened fire on the women—an incident Chief Charlie Beck and the Police Commission agreed was "out of policy." Peter Bibring is Director of Police Practices at the ACLU of Southern California.
