   Deer stupid Mexicans.  If you didn't break the law in the first   
   place to be in America, you might understand that stealing cars   
   is not permitted.  Assaulting armed cops with a stolen car is   
   even stupider.  That is what you did.   
      
   DENVER – The Denver Office of the Independent Monitor said   
   Tuesday it will evaluate police methods when it comes to officer-   
   involved shootings and moving vehicles.   
      
   The announcement comes a day after Denver police shot and killed   
   a 17-year-old girl who they say was in a stolen car that struck   
   and injured an officer.   
      
   The Office of the Independent Monitor, a civilian oversight   
   agency for the city, said there have been at least three other   
   officer-involved shootings involving Denver officers shooting at   
   moving vehicles in the last seven months.   
      
   The evaluation will assess the current state of the department's   
   policies, practices, and training on shooting at moving vehicles   
   in comparison to national standards and best practices from   
   other police departments in the country.   
      
   The announcement came after about 20 people rallied outside   
   District Attorney Mitch Morrissey's office and called for a   
   special prosecutor to investigate the Monday death of 17-year-   
   old Jessica Hernandez.   
      
   Morrissey wasn't there during the tense confrontation at his   
   office, where chief deputy district attorneys Doug Jackson and   
   Lamar Sims spoke over shouts and obscenities from some of the   
   protesters.   
      
   Jackson said he could not discuss the facts of the case but   
   assured the group that the findings of the investigation will be   
   made public when it's finished.   
      
   "You can decide whether we made the right decision or not,"   
   Jackson said.   
      
   Police released few details about the shooting in a middle-   
   class, residential neighborhood of Denver. They said Hernandez   
   was one of five people in the stolen car and she drove at a   
   police officer.   
      
   The four other people in the car were not injured by the   
   gunfire. All were questioned as part of the investigation but   
   none have been charged.   
      
   Both officers involved in the shooting have been placed on   
   administrative leave pending the investigation.
