The Los Angeles Police Commission will release the background on a legal opinion that was the basis of its recent decision to withhold names of officers from shooting reports. The change, which reversed a 25-year-old policy, drew a strong rebuke from city council members.

Larry talks with Fifth District City Councilman Jack Weiss and KPCC reporter Frank Stoltze about this new policy.
