Writing a blog like this forces the writer to read story after story of crime and unrest, because of this it is easier to notice patterns. Lately the pattern seems to be a greater emphasis on unrest between the LAPD and the residents of the Los Angeles area. Like in the follwing story.
The names of the two police officers who fatally shot Leroy Barnes Jr. in a routine traffic stop have finally been released. The officers union have been fighting to keep the names from the public arguing that disclosing the
names was in violation of state law protecting peace officers personal information.
The judge hearing the arguments said he couldn't think of a case where the pubic was more interested or had more of a right to know. Public interest is high because several of the shoots were fired in his back while he was face down on the
pavement.
