More on the culture of police unaccountability, via the LA Times:
Fortunately, it is a violation of department policy for the police to open fire randomly on a truck before positively identifying the suspect. However, LAPD Chief Charlie Beck is apparently more concerned that one of the trigger happy cops might have accidentally shot another cop.
Although Beck has the option of further disciplining the officers, the punishments will be unlikely to be more severe than a strongly worded reprimand to be filed.
What does it take for dangerous cops with bad judgment to be fired from the LAPD, anyway?

Eight Los Angeles police officers who violated department policy when they mistakenly opened fire on two women during the hunt for Christopher Dorner will be retrained and returned to the field, LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said in a department-wide message Wednesday. |

Beck faulted the officers for jumping to the conclusion that Dorner was in the truck they opened fire upon. Beck said the officers compounded their mistake by shooting in one another's direction with an unrestrained barrage of gunfire. |
