FILE – In this Aug. 14, 2014 file photo, protesters hold their hands up as a Los Angeles Police Department officer tries to talk to them in front of the 77th Street police station in Los Angeles during a protest of the LAPD shooting of Ezell Ford. Police say that Ford had attempted to remove a gun from an officer’s holster on Monday when he was shot and killed, which differs from accounts by the family of the man. Details may differ, circumstances of their deaths may remain unknown, but the outrage that erupted after the Aug. 9 fatal shooting of the unarmed, black 18-year-old by a white officer in Ferguson, Missouri, has become a rallying cry in protests over police killings across the nation.
