This summer, for the first time in his nearly five years as a Los Angeles police officer, Eden Medina shot someone. Twelve days later, the Hollenbeck Division gang officer fired his gun again, killing Jesse Romero two weeks shy of his 15th birthday. Matt Johnson, the commission’s president, told department brass he was concerned that LAPD officers generally spend less time off patrol after shootings than police at other agencies. At some point, the LAPD said, Officer Eden Medina shot Omar Gonzalez. LAPD officers must meet with a psychologist within a week of firing their guns.
