How the government's punishing of the exposure of official wrongdoing can linger for years

Federal officials will review two deadly police shootings that sparked a fourth day of violent protests that left downtown business heaped with shattered glass and jails full of demonstrators.

The mother of a man who was fatally shot by Anaheim police officers has condemned violent protests against the killing, saying Wednesday she did not want them to become her son's legacy.

Police in Southern California say they believe a man in their custody is responsible for all four recent killings of homeless men in Orange County.
After several hours, police declared an unlawful assembly and moved in, Chief Welter said.
As they cleared the street, groups of 50 to 100 people splintered off and moved through downtown, throwing rocks and bottles at police and passing motorists and setting fires in trash bins, Chief Welter said.
