Read the whole article--the shooting sounds like bullshit, and this guy's been in trouble before....
Highway Patrol???
According to one law enforcement source who did not want to be identified, the incident was not the first time Josey was involved in a shooting.
Vanore said the department does not identify officers who are involved in shootings unless the officer is injured. He declined to comment on whether Josey had discharged his weapon in the past.
Records indicate that Josey has been accused of wrongdoing while on duty at least once.
In June 2007, the city paid $7,500 to settle a lawsuit which alleged that Josey threw a man against a wall on Rugby Street, then kicked and punched the man, while looking for a fellow officer's stolen gun.

Police need to responsible for their actions, not the taxpayer.

The city has paid out WAY too much over the years for false arrests and police brutality.

(44,397 posts)7. LA pays out a ton of money
For two reasons:
1. The cop/individual may have no assets or may bankrupt to avoid paying a judgment to make his victim whole; and
2. The point of making the CITY pay is to get their attention and force them to take action against bad cops. Otherwise, they'll just ignore it.
