"A joint review by ICE and the Department of Justice (DOJ) of video evidence has revealed that sworn testimony provided by two separate officers appears to have made untruthful statements," Lyons said in a statement. "Both officers have been immediately placed on administrative leave pending the completion of a thorough internal investigation ... The U.S. Attorney's Office is actively investigating these false statements."

Isn't it odd that two threads are up on this at the same time about two different shootings?
