The move comes after an earlier LAPD investigation found no wrongdoing on the part of officers. But on Friday, Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck acknowledged that that probe was ‘clearly lacking’ and said the department has opened a second investigation of the weapons transactions that is still ongoing.”
