There's more controversy centered on the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department today, after 10 employees were fired over the weekend following an investigation into the treatment of an inmate at the LA County Jail Inmate Reception Center. Numerous allegations of mistreatment at LA County jails have attracted the attention of federal authorities who have charged close to two dozen employees -- some of whom were convicted -- in an abuse and cover-up scandal. Kevin Roderick of the LA Observed joins Steve Chiotakis to talk about it.
