Lawsuit filed against LA County probation officers seen on video assaulting minor KTLA5 - 02/08/2023

A federal civil rights lawsuit has been filed against Los Angeles County probation officers involved in a use of force incident that was caught on video. During a news conference Wednesday, attorneys for then 17-year-old Beckham Cardona showed video of the October 2020 attack at a Malibu juvenile facility. The video, first obtained by the Los Angeles Times, shows multiple officers on top of Cardona, while Oscar Cross is seen bending the teen’s legs backward while he is already held down. The lawsuit accuses the officers of placing excessive weight on teen’s throat and chest, disrupting his oxygen flow. Attorneys say the teen posed no threat, was not fighting back and could be heard screaming in the video. “Final good justice would be if they locked up more of these people who witnessed it and didn’t report it,” attorney Luis Carrillo said. “Police officers are mandated to stop another officer from committing abuse.”
