A mother and daughter newspaper delivery team who were mistakenly shot by Los Angeles police hunting for a fugitive former cop will get a new pickup truck courtesy of the department.
LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith says the department's Chief Charlie Beck met with the women in their Torrance home Saturday to apologize and tell them he had arranged for someone to donate a new pickup truck.
The truck will be donated early this week, Smith said...

First I've heard that -thanks for the info. And this is the lot of squirrelbait uniformed slopes that we are supposed to call upon for protection from the bad guys?
LEOs. When moments count, they are only 20+ minutes away! From ventilating anything 'threatening'!
Why did the police open fire without posiive ID? Was there a dog in the back of the pickup?
LOL.
On a more somber note, that's what the fund to compensate all the 9/11 victim families was about.
“optional undercoating.”
Would UnderArmor be appropriate?
Pretty tame stuff, considering she could have - and SHOULD have - sued for enough money to own a truck DEALERSHIP.
Isn’t that special. What will happen to the trigger happy twits that shot them?
just more union government spoiled brat idiots. Sorry, but most cops are not that...but any unionized government employees should be un-unionized asap.
won’t stop the lawsuit that’s coming.
Perhaps the local PBA?
That's the $10 million dollar question.
If that were my wife and daughter they would be changing the signs from Torrance to Cymancaville.
Maybe he knew someone who wanted a CCW.
She’s going to get a heck of a lot more than just a new truck. I’m guessing upwards of 5 mil. Probably each. And she and her mom will deserve every penny.
May-buh
“Chief Charlie Beck met with the women in their Torrance home Saturday to apologize and tell them he had arranged for someone to donate a new pickup truck.”
OK, Chief, they now have a nice shiny new pickup truck. How about their wounds suffered at the hands of your cops? What are you going to do about that? When are these two idiot LAPD cops going to have criminal charges of attempted murder filed on them? What about the other guy whose truck was shot up but didn’t get wounded? What’s going to happen to those two idiots? Inquiring minds want to know.
A new truck my ass. These women will own half of Los Angeles when their lawyers get done.
I wonder how the release they will be signing will be worded.
The words "fired", "arrested", "attempted murder", "bail", etc. strangely do not appear in this report.
The panicked cops will threaten, harass and shoot more innocent people in their terror before they catch this guy.
They’ll need it to carry the settlement money
Its the least they could do! Should buy her gas for a year and pay all doctor bills and a free trip to Disneyland!
