City Council Ignored Hazing Photos, LA Times Doesn't Ask Why

Tucked away in a wee, small corner of a story on the Tennie Pierce hazing scandal and two time-servers in City Hall calling for the head of Fire Chief William Bamattre, is this intriguing statement:

No member of the council followed with a question about photos and no one from the city attorney’s office again mentioned them.
