*We won’t even say anything except,  this is not a good look … and  the over-riding perception is that the police got away with another one. Damn.

The police we’re talking about this time is the LAPD and the fatal shooting of Ezell Ford, a mentally ill man last year.

Specifically, an investigation by the LAPD has determined that two officers were within department policy when they shot and killed Ezell Ford last year in South L.A.

Scratches found on Ford, one of the officers and the officer’s gun holster suggest that Ford did try to grab a gun, two sources told The Times.

The LAPD’s inspector general did fault the officers for the way they approached Ford in the first place.
