LAPD Officers Justified In Shooting Death Of Pacoima Suspect, DA's Office Finds
Los Angeles County prosecutors concluded that two Los Angeles police officers acted lawfully in the shooting death of a man who was holding his estranged wife at gunpoint in Pacoima more than six years ago, according to a document released Wednesday. Prosecutors determined that the evidence showed Jose Torres was “prepared to carry out his stated threat” of a month earlier: that he was going to kill his estranged wife and then kill himself and that he refused to comply with officers' repeated commands to drop his gun before LAPD Officers Nicholas Coronado and William De La Rosa Reyes fired at him on July 18, 2011.

Drug Charge Dropped In Hit-And-Run Case Scrutinized After LAPD Body Cam Footage Became Public
The police body camera footage, aired by a Los Angeles television station, turned a spotlight on an otherwise routine hit-and-run case. On Wednesday, the case came to a quiet conclusion in a Van Nuys courtroom, where the driver, Ronald Shields, pleaded no contest to misdemeanor hit and run. Bill Seki, an attorney representing two of the officers, denied that his clients acted inappropriately. Additional body camera footage that was later unearthed offered more clarity, he said, and shows the bag of drugs among a handful of items coming from Shields' pocket. (The Times has not viewed that additional footage.) The union representing the LAPD's rank and file also backed the officers, praising their arrest of a hit-and-run driver and recovery of an illegal gun. The union described the release of the video as a “circus sideshow.”

Gun Owners Flood Justice Department With Pleas To Leave Bump Stocks Unregulated
The National Rifle Association may have gotten its way when the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives announced it would revisit its decision not to regulate bump stocks. By putting the onus on the bureau, the NRA helped defuse bipartisan momentum for a Congressional ban on the rapid-fire devices, whose public safety risks were made clear by the mass shooting in Las Vegas last October.
