Los Angeles police Chief Charlie Beck expressed support Tuesday for the way a sergeant and two officers acted last week when they detained and handcuffed an actress.
Beck cautioned that he had not made a final decision about the matter but said he believed, based on an initial review of audio recordings, photographs and witnesses' statements, that the officers acted within their legal authority.
Beck noted that an internal investigation into Thursday's detention of "Django Unchained" actress Daniele Watts was ongoing.

"It appears to me that they acted in exactly the manner that I would expect a Los Angeles police officer to act: They respond to a complaint of a crime by a person in Los Angeles, and when they get there, they do an adequate investigation," Beck told reporters. "And then, based on that investigation, they take action. And that's what they did in this case."
"Their decision to detain, investigate further and then release is well within the bounds of policing and the authority of police in the state of California," Beck said.

As if you have class. You load the board with taunts and insults and get warned by the Mods.

The Chief went over a very good explanation. Are you actually wanting the city to be sued? PolWatch
