During their monumental four-year investigation, Los Angeles Times reporters Matt Lait and Scott Glover scrutinized the LAPD's own data detailing 2000 incidents of police firing their weapons. But they didn't just analyze paperwork, they "walked the scene": mirroring the cops' techniques, trying to work how they work and think how they think. In doing so, the reporters discovered numerous occasions on which the LAPD officers had told one story about a shooting when the evidence told another.
