A woman protests the death of Ezell Ford during a meeting of the Los Angeles Police Commission on Tuesday, June 9. Ford, 25, was an unarmed black man shot and killed by police in August. A civilian committee tasked with oversight of the Los Angeles Police Department found that one of the officers involved in the shooting acted against police department policy throughout the confrontation with Ford. And it said a second officer was unjustified in how he initially drew his gun. The committee's decision, however, is not legally binding. The district attorney's office, which is conducting its own investigation, will make the final determination whether to file charges. Two prior assessments by Police Chief Charlie Beck and an independent investigator found no fault with police.
