Ezell Ford

By Matt Ferner in The Huffington Post - The civilian board that oversees the Los Angeles Police Department ruled Tuesday that one of the officers involved in the fatal shooting of Ezell Ford last year in a south LA neighborhood was acting "out of policy" in his use of lethal force. The second officer involved in the shooting was found to be acting within policy with regards to use of force. While the identities of both officers are known -- Sharlton Wampler and Antonio Villegas -- the Police Commission did not identify which officer was out of policy. "This is a tragedy for all involved," Police Commission President Steve Soboroff said late Tuesday. "The Ford family, my fellow commissioners express our deepest condolences." The commission had deliberated for more than three hours, after hours of tense public comment.
