OMG Rihanna!!!!!

Unauthorized Release of Photograph

Los Angeles: The unauthorized release of a domestic violence photograph immediately
generated an internal investigation.
At about 7 p.m. on February 19, 2009, the Los Angeles Police Department Media Relations
Section began receiving numerous inquiries about the release of a photograph associated with a
domestic violence incident that occurred on February 8, 2009, involving entertainer Chris
Brown. The photograph appeared on an entertainment website. The photograph has the
appearance of one taken during an official Domestic Violence investigation.
The Los Angeles Police Department takes seriously its duty to maintain the confidentiality of
victims of domestic violence.
The Department launched an immediate internal investigation and subsequently filed a personnel
complaint.
A violation of this type is considered serious misconduct, with penalties up to and including
termination.


Anyone with information concerning the unauthorized release of the photograph is asked to call,
during regular business hours, (213) 485-4152. After-hours or on weekends, calls may be
directed to our 24-hour, toll-free number at 1-877-LAPD-24-7 (527-3247).

Wow I guess this can assure us that this is a real photo of Rihanna versus all the photo shopped ones that have been floating around the Internet.

Rihanna needs time to grieve, but I think she should possibly speak to the public, and her fans about the incident. It will answer a lot of rumors, and can be used as a PSA (public service announcement)to help battered women.
