The Los Angeles Police Department’s own rulebook shows cops face tight limits — and scrutiny — when firing “non-lethal” launchers. An internal document obtained by The Post shows Los Angeles police officers are operating under strict internal controls when it comes to firing so-called non-lethal weapons. The rules sharply limit their use, ban them against most non-violent suspects and trigger a mandatory review if officers step out of line.
