LAPD Shoot And Kill 13-yr-old Kid

I am glad that the story of a 13-year old African American kid, Devin Brown, being shot and killed by Los Angeles Police Department officers on Sunday is finally getting some media coverage (audio story from NPR, LA Times). The point is that this is just one more in a long series of police shootings of black and brown individuals by a mostly white police force. It should be interesting to see if this has any impact on the March 8 Los Angeles Mayoral Primary Election.
