Liberal LA Puppeticians Willing to Pay for Cops Right to Remain Violent: Approve $50M to Cover Settlements for Murdering 4 People and Paralyzing Another in Police Funding Rebate

From [HERE] The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors have approved a total of nearly $50 million in payments to settle four lawsuits and one legal claim alleging misconduct by sheriff’s deputies in incidents that left four men dead and one paralyzed.

Two of the cases involved how department personnel dealt with people experiencing a mental health crisis.

One of the men died after being tased and beaten by deputies, according to his family’s lawyer. Another was paralyzed after being shot in the back. In both incidents, parents called 911 for help with children experiencing a mental health crisis. And in both incidents, deputies used force inside the men’s own bedrooms.

One settlement settled a suit over the high-profile killing of Andres Guardado. Another resolved a claim regarding a bystander who was shot and killed during a shootout. The fifth payout settled a case involving a man who died in custody.

“This is what a mindblowing lack of accountability looks like,” ACLU attorney Andres Kwon said. “The financial cost is extraordinary, yet it pales in comparison with the human cost.” [MORE]
