From [HERE] At a press conference this week Pastor Nathaniel Martin Los Angeles chapter president of NAN called for the arrest and prosecution of the eight deputies who brutally beat Christopher Bailey. He was joined by long time civil rights activist and NAN member Najee Ali who is serving as a spokesman for Bailey.
Recently-surfaced cellphone video of the aftermath of the incident shows Bailey being lifted into an ambulance, with someone heard saying "He doesn't even look human."
"He sustained 64 to 86 total body and face hits. He was pummeled in the face approximately 35 to 44 times," civil rights attorney Toni Jaramilla said during the news conference.
Attorneys for Christopher Bailey last Monday announced a civil rights lawsuit against the department and the seven deputies involved in the alleged May 2020 unprovoked beating by Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies.
One of Bailey’s attorneys, Brian Dunn, said that after the incident, the L.A. County district attorney’s office, then under Jackie Lacey, charged Bailey with three felony counts of resisting arrest, as well as two marijuana-related misdemeanors. The felony charges, as well as one of the misdemeanors, were dropped last week. Bailey pleaded no contest to and was found guilty of the other misdemeanor and a vehicle code violation.
Toni Jaramilla, another lawyer for Bailey, dismissed an allegation — which she said is included in a Sheriff’s Department report about the incident — that Bailey moved his elbow backward when he was out of the car and struck one of the deputies in the head.
Bailey “complied with all directives,” Jaramilla said. The lawsuit says Bailey never attempted to strike a deputy with any part of his body.
According to the complaint LA County Sheriff’s Deputies Kevin Walker, Shawn Groves, Luis Cano, Jackson Hill, Joshua Parga, and Matthew Seno brutally assaulted him.
Jaramilla said Bailey’s defense team is also calling for the district attorney’s office to file criminal charges against the deputies. However, none of the cops involved have been charged.
“We are aware of the case and are reviewing the allegations,” said Alex Bastian, a special advisor to Dist. Atty. George Gascón.
Sounds like Bullshit. Along with a chorus of played out Showcase Blacks like John Legend [see video below] this puppetician begged Blacks and Latinos to vote for him so he can ‘hold cops accountable.’ SO, it would seem axiomatic that the senseless beating of a law abiding Black citizen by cops after a de minimis traffic stop in the middle of the night during COVID shelter in place orders in 5/20 would be some Day one type of shit to do. Persons who are truly woke overstand that authority, the so-called right of certain persons to forcibly control others, the right to rule over other people is not reformable and the belief in such nonsense, [the statist belief in having masters] is a curse upon mankind. But we are free to indulge in illusions and go on endless searches to find better masters.
CAMPAIGN IN THE ASS AD CALLED ‘WAKE UP” DESIGNED TO KEEP THE SLEEP WALKING VOTARY ASLEEP! IF “the progressive reformer” can‘t defend the rights of Black people to go back and forth to work on an empty public street without getting brutally assaulted by cops then who is this so-called “public servant” serving? At least with Black Strawboss Jackie Lacey, the former DA Gascon defeated, citizens had no reasonable expectation that cops would be held accountable for crimes committed against them. As explained by DOC Blynd, “Reform is always in the service of the status quo and the politician: it serves the privilege of the past not the promise of the future. Reform creates hypocrisy as a matter of course.“ Hopefully, people will “wake up” to this reality.
In a statement, the Sheriff’s Department declined to answer questions about the alleged incident and internal investigations into the allegations. LASD is not commenting on the incident, saying they can’t under "legal counsel". As of this writing, the LASD has not said whether they are investigating, if the deputies are on leave, or if there is a video from their own cameras. The fact that a body camera of the incident has not been released or even discussed is unusual, considering the changes that have been touted, after a year of protests and demands for transparency from the department. [It is not far-fetched or conspiratorial to assume that public video [body cam] must exist because usually under similar circumstances the police flatly state no such video exists.]
“All use-of-force incidents which result in injury are unfortunate,” the statement said. “Due to this pending litigation and under advice of counsel, we are unable to offer further details at this time.”
The LA Times was unable to reach attorneys for the deputies accused of being involved in the beating. The Sheriff’s Department did not respond to a question about the current employment status of the deputies.
During the pandemic lockdown on May 4, 2020, Bailey was stopped by Los Angeles County deputies on Prairie Avenue, right off East Hardy Street in Inglewood, just off a few blocks from his home at about 2 a.m for “straddling the lane.” Apparently there was no other traffic or pedestrians on the street or affected by his alleged driving. He was on his way home for work from his job at a private company that sorts mail for the U.S. Postal Service. Bailey was wearing a uniform and had a letter on his dashboard from his employer explaining he was an essential worker. [MORE]
The complaint states:
Shortly after pulling Mr. Bailey over, and without warning, Deputies Walker and Groves proceeded to violently drag Mr. Bailey, who was completely unarmed, out of his vehicle, and, without warning, proceeded to assault and batter Plaintiff by acts which included, but were not limited to, repeatedly and severely punching Plaintiff multiple times in his face, and thereafter employing unreasonable neck restraint procedures against Mr. Bailey, which included, but were not limited to, Deputy Groves' application of a choke hold against Plaintiff while Deputy Walker was in the process of punching him.
While Deputies Walker and Groves were in the process of beating Mr. Bailey they were soon joined by Deputies Luis Cano, Jackson Hill, Joshua Parga, and Matthew Seno, who, alongside Deputies Walker and Groves, proceeded to assault and batter Mr. Bailey continuously and in a protracted fashion over a period of several minutes, by acts which included, but were not limited to, repeatedly and continuously punching Mr. Bailey's face, abdomen, and upper back with closed fists, repeatedly kicking and inflicting knee strikes against Mr. Bailey while he lay defenseless on the ground, and repeatedly tasing Mr. Bailey, and repeatedly employing unreasonable restraint maneuvers against Mr. Bailey. Despite the fact that Mr. Bailey was immediately knocked to the ground, completely unarmed, and not striking, kicking, or assaulting any deputy in any manner, this protracted assault and battery inflicted by the simultaneous efforts of Deputies Kevin Walker, Shawn Groves, Luis Cano, Jackson Hill, Josua Parga, and Matthew Seno against Mr. Bailey lasted for a period of several minutes, during which time Mr. Bailey lay defenseless and on the ground, at times pleading for his life.
Throughout the entire course of the protracted beating described herein, Mr. Bailey remained completely unarmed, with nothing in hands, and nothing in his pockets. At no time during the course of these events did Mr. Bailey strike or attempt to inflict any injury against any deputy with any part of his body, or in any manner whatsoever. Almost immediately after being dragged out of his vehicle, Mr. Bailey lay defenseless on the ground, and remained passive and defenseless during the protracted and continuous beating described herein.
As a result of the severe and sustained beating inflicted by Defendant Deputies Kevin Walker, Shawn Groves, Luis Cano, Jackson Hill, Josua Parga, and Matthew Seno (hereinafter "Defendant Deputies"), Plaintiff Christopher Bailey (hereinafter "Plaintiff') suffered many serious physical injuries, including permanent and irreparable facial and eye injuries, permanent vision loss, and has been forced to undergo multiple facial reconstruction surgeries.
In an interview, Bailey said the assault has forced him to take a leave from his job at a private company that sorts mail for the U.S. Postal Service.
Bailey’s attorneys provided to The LA Times video recorded by a bystander, which they said shows Bailey, his face bleeding and eyes swollen, being lifted into an ambulance in the aftermath of the incident.
“He doesn’t even look human,” someone can be heard saying on the video. Later, a deputy is seen walking to his patrol car with what appear to be large patches of blood on his shirt and bystanders shouting at him.
The lawsuit seeks damages for battery, negligence and deprivations of civil rights based on excessive and unreasonable force. Jaramilla said Bailey’s defense team is calling for the district attorney’s office to file criminal charges against the deputies.
