Police Misconduct Attorney Jerry L. Steering has been suing the police since 1984 for police brutality, false arrests, malicious criminal prosecutions and First Amendment retaliation cases. Mr. Steering in an Expert and Specialist in suing the police in federal court for constitutional violations in the City of Glendale, throughout Los Angeles County, and throughout the State of California. Mr. Steering has also sued the government as far away as in federal court in Alabama and in the District of Columbia. THE GLENDALE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS A VERY CRUEL AND BRUTAL ENTITY. The Glendale Police Department is a very cruel and brutal entity. There is almost no limit what they will do to protect themselves from the victims of their outrages. They beat, falsely arrest and procure the malicious criminal prosecutions of their victims. Recently, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office filed a charge of assault under the color of authority against Glendale Police Officer Gonzalo Zendejas. See, June 3, 2024: District Attorney Gascón Announces Charges Against Glendale Police Officer in Assault at the Glendale Galleria in 2021, Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office. Officer Zendejas is accused of brutalizing a suspected shoplifter. The Glendale Police Department historically has a poor record of responding to public complaints of false arrests and brutality by Glendale Police Department officers. See, Police Scorecard. Glendale Police Department police officers traditionally felt free to beat, tase, pepper-spray, falsely arrest and maliciously prosecute their victims because the Glendale Police Department would always take the position that its officers did nothing wrong, and because traditionally, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office prosecuted the victims of police beatings and false arrests, rather than prosecute the violating police officers. GLENDALE POLICE ARE NOT YOUR FRIEND, AND THEY ARE NOT THERE TO HELP YOU; ONLY THEM. Because Glendale Police Department officers often deal with local gangsters, and due to a recent series of United States Supreme Court cases, the police can falsely arrest, beat, shoot and even kill anyone they care to. This is no joke, this is reality. For example in Plumhoff v. Rickard, 572 U.S. 765 (2014) the Supreme Court announced open season for the police to shoot fleeing motorists, even when they no longer pose an imminent threat of death or even bodily injury to the officers. After Plumhoff was handed down by our Supreme Court, the police can just shoot a fleeing motorist; no longer just driving behind them until the run out of gas (the California Highway Patrol police until Plumhoff ). Moreover, the U.S. Supreme Court continues to expand the Doctrine of Qualified Immunity to protect the police from civil liability, taking the “reasonableness of the force used under the circumstances” away from the jury. See, A Practical Cure for the Curse of Qualified Immunity, Steering, J. at steeringlaw. IF YOU ARE THE VICTIM OF POLICE MISCONDUCT, JERRY L. STEERING CAN HELP YOU.
