25% of people shot to death by LA police were unarmed. No cops were prosecuted.

Between Jan. 1, 2010 and Dec. 31, 2014, Los Angeles County district attorney records show at least 375 people were shot by on-duty officers. No officers have been prosecuted for any of those shootings.

About one in four of those people were unarmed. Within that data, the rate at which Black and Latino people were killed by police was triple that of white people.

That's the lede from KCRW's important, interactive investigative report on officer-involved shootings in LA, and there's a lot more to be upset about in those numbers, too.
