THE HERMOSA BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT IS A BRUTAL AND DISHONEST AGENCY.

The Hermosa Beach Police Department has a longstanding reputation as a brutal and dishonest agency. That police agency has for quite a long time been subjected to FBI investigations into beating and framing innocent civilians who are guilty of nothing other than “Contempt of Cop“; verbal protest or verbal challenge to police orders and actions; constitutionally protected conduct. See, Hermosa Police Probed by FBI, Los Angeles Times, June 20, 2005.

As stated by U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice William Brennan discussed back in 1987 about a Houston, Texas Municipal Ordinance that criminalized “willfully or intentionally interrupt[ing] a city policeman”. In striking down that ordinance as unconstitutional, Justice Brennan held: “The freedom of individuals verbally to oppose or challenge police action without thereby risking arrest is one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation from a police state.” 

However, notwithstanding this long-held principle of American Constitutional Law, most police beatings, tasings and pepper sprayings begin as “Contempt of Cop” statements by a civilian to police orders or actions that they perceive as offense or unlawful.

In response to such civilians protesting, challenging or protesting police actions or orders, police officers, especially Hermosa Beach Police Department officers, the civilian gets beaten, tased and pepper sprayed, and thereafter falsely arrested and often falsely prosecuted for some “resistance offense” such as Cal. Penal Code § 69 (resisting officer with force), Cal. Penal Code § 148(a)(1) (resisting officer), Cal. Penal Code § 240/241 (assault on officer), Cal. Penal Code § 242 / 243(b) & (c) (battery on officer causing injury) and Cal. Penal Code § 245(c) (assault on officer with weapon).

This is common. This happens every day in Hermosa Beach. Even police officers from other police agencies find themselves getting beaten and falsely arrested for “Contempt of Cop” of Hermosa Beach Police Department police officers.
