Sheriff Lee Baca's Strategy In Response To Shooting

Two weeks ago, nine sheriff’s deputies fired 120 shots at the car of an unarmed suspect, peppering a Compton neighborhood with dozens of rounds of ammunition. Larry Mantle and guests Lee Baca, Los Angeles County Sheriff, Greg Emerson, the attorney representing 10 of the 11 deputies involved in the shooting, and Joe Domanick, Senior Fellow in Criminal Justice at USC Annenberg Institute for Justice and Journalism talk about the strategy of having the deputies make a public apology in a televised press conference and go door-to-door in the affected neighborhood to discuss the incident with residents.
