Fontana pays nearly $900,000 to victim of Police torture.
Detectives grilled Thomas Perez Jr. for 17 hours, deprived him of medications and threatened to have his dog killed if he didn’t confess to killing his father, who was actually alive.
This story is horrific.
You're viewing a single thread.
At one point during the interrogation, the investigators even threatened to have his pet Labrador Retriever, Margosha, euthanized as a stray, and brought the dog into the room so he could say goodbye. “OK? Your dog’s now gone, forget about it,” said an investigator.
He was so distraught that he even tried to hang himself with the drawstring from his shorts after being left alone in the interrogation room. Perez was arrested, handcuffed and transported to a mental hospital for 72-hour observation.
Perez’s father wasn’t dead — or even missing. Thomas Sr. was at Los Angeles International Airport waiting for a flight to see his daughter in Northern California. But police didn’t immediately tell Perez.
Fucking incredible that there are people that cry about others saying ACAB when shit like this happens.
Yeah, but it's not like they didn't face consequences.
Three of the involved officers remain employed with the department. One other officer has retired.
Oh... never mind.
There is no such thing as a good cop. If my son wanted to be a pig I would completely disown him. I have never met a cop I trusted. I have never committed a crime, not even a speeding ticket. Every single time I have had to interact with a pig it's made me want to throw up.
