Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department-LA Times update.
Beatings, abuse of inmates, abuse of visitors, wrongful arrests, and a great big cover up that includes trying to hide an FBI informant from the FBI.
It took the abuse of a foreign diplomat and the freaking FBI to uncover this. But Sheriff Baca assures us “only” 15 or so indictments don’t point to an institutional problem. What a sorry excuse for an excuse. Baca needs to go.

The indictment accused Sgt. Eric Gonzalez, the supervisor of deputies working in the visiting center, of reprimanding deputies for not using force against visitors who had “supposedly ‘disrespected’ these deputy sheriffs through the visitors’ words or conduct.”

The indictment names Deputies Sussie Ayala, Pantamitr Zunggeemoge and Noel Womack as preparing false and misleading reports in an attempt to show that the use of force was justified.
