YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBaum Hedlund attorney Monique Alarcon is one of the lawyers that represented a Marine Corps Veteran in his police misconduct lawsuit against the LAPD-Los Angeles Police Department. Her client’s lawsuit alleged that the LAPD’s unlawful crowd-control tactics used during the May 30, 2020 protests, violated his civil rights and caused life-threatening injuries, including a traumatic brain injury. Our client was shot in the head with a bean bag projectile, fired by an LAPD police officer, while he was peacefully protesting ongoing police violence perpetuated against communities of color, particularly Black people, across the United States.
Our client had joined other protestors on May 30, 2020, to protest in solidarity with others across the nation to denounce systemic racism and the history of violence against Black lives, following the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and others needlessly killed at the hands of the police.
After two years of litigation, we obtained a $1.25 million settlement for our client, the largest to date stemming from the 2020 protests. Nothing in this settlement was construed as an admission of liability by any party, including the LAPD.
KNX News Radio interviewed our lawyer, Monique Alarcon, about it. “We’re hopeful that this settlement and all the other litigation that has come about since the summer of 2020 protests will really be the impetus for the LAPD to implement much-needed changes to its flawed policies and inadequate training on less-lethal munitions and crowd-control tactics.”
