LAPD police revise training after Vicious Stanley Miller Beating


Still NO Officers Disciplined in his case
Facing criticism that its officers too often turn to rough tactics or violence, the Police Department on Tuesday said it will revise training for recruits to make sure they know how to step in if one of their own loses control on the job. The change comes 3½ months after car-theft suspect Stanley Miller, who was clubbed repeatedly with a steel flashlight by an officer after he appeared to surrender after a videotaped car-and-foot chase. Prosecutors are considering whether to file criminal charges against the officers involved. The training will teach aspiring officers to jump in when a colleague appears to be overreacting or out of control when dealing with a citizen or suspect. The instruction will favor role-playing methods over traditional classroom lectures and note-taking. [more ] and [more ]
