The Police Department on Friday turned over the results
of its investigation into the flashlight beating of a car-theft suspect
to the district attorney's office, which will determine whether to file
criminal charges against any officers involved in the incident. Stanley
Miller, who is black, was hit repeatedly with a 2-pound steel
flashlight after a half-hour, car and foot chase on June 23 in South
Los Angeles. Miller was beaten on the ground as he appeared to
surrender. [more
