The LAPD is really trying to get away with a lot harassing one reporter. Read more about what there doing below. Essentially they gave a reporter files on LAPD cops and are now suing him for releasing that information. The LAPD says it was a mistake to give him files on "undercover" cops. Undercover is a broad statement to the LAPD, so it doesn't mean just someone trying to infiltrate let's say a gang. It could mean, they were undercover at some point or were staking out someone's house on a case years ago. What many are saying is the LAPD released the info knowingly to cause a stink and then sue the reporter. In any case it either makes the LAPD/city of LA look stupid or trying to above the law or both.
