Waaaay back in OCT, 2018 two LAPD cops were dispatched to a disturbance at a gym. Some fool was walking around naked and fighting with patrons and a security guard.
Upon contacting the suspect the incident went sideways…fast, as these type of calls do from time to time. The suspect, a large and muscular soul, got one of the Officer’s TASER. In addition, he had a female Officer on the ground and was pounding on her head. Her partner, being dazed from several hits by the suspect, saw his partner being beaten. He then fired five shots at this doofus and cancelled his ticket.
A review of all the investigating agencies found it was, in po-leece parlance, a good shoot. Case closed? Oh no. The mother of the suspect sued (of course). The Officer said he had qualified immunity. The 9th Circuit upheld the immunity claim. The final decision made in Sept. of this year and the case dismissed. Imagine having to wait five long years for the court to decide.
Bless you Officers who work under some of the most restrictive and anti LE leaders.
Peace
