Update Via LA Times: The Los Angeles Police Department has launched a preliminary investigation into a video that has emerged of a song that plays on the shooting death of Michael Brown. It was sung at a party thrown by a retired LAPD officer. Police confirmed to the Los Angeles Times the investigation into the video, on which can be heard a parody of Bad, Bad Leroy Brown that refers to the Ferguson, Mo., 18-year-old and includes horrendous lines such as, His brain was splatter on the floor. I am aware of the video released via TMZ. Like many of you, I find it offensive & absurd. It does not reflect the values of the #LAPD, Chief Charlie Beck tweeted. I have directed our Professional Standards Bureau to look into this & determine if any active department employees were involved.
