The LAPD's SIS unit has been criticized for its controversial tactics, which include watching suspects commit crimes, then apprehending them in confrontations that often turn violent. The unit has been involved in at least 50 gunbattles resulting in 34 fatal shootings. The city has paid out more than $2 million to individuals or family members of those who claimed they were victimized by the unit. Andrea Cavanaugh, (805) 583-7602 andrea.cavanaugh(at)dailynews.com |
