We don't know how they do it, but they did it.TMZ has acquired the police photo of singer Rihanna taken just moments after her beating by Chris Brown.
The LAPD, seeming to run for cover, also released a statement:
"The LAPD does not and will not release any victim's photos. It's that simple. We have not."
Brown, 19, was arrested for the beating, while the Grammy Awards Ceremony he was supposed to appear at went on - without him. He was released from jail on $50,000 bail.
Rihanna , who turns 21 today, is cooperating with police.
Brown issued a statement last week apologizing, and said he was seeking counseling. He is due in court on March 5.
