LAPD investigating alleged Rihanna photo

TMZ posted last night a photo it says shows Rihanna with bruises from the alleged attack by singer Chris Brown the night before the Grammys. It appears to be an evidence photo taken as part of a domestic violence investigation, and the LAPD almost immediately issued a statement announcing an internal investigation and a personnel complaint over the photo's unauthorized release.
