As the old saying goes, “The young lawyer knows the law, but the old lawyer knows the Judge”. THE MANHATTAN BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS BECOME A BRUTAL AGENCY AND INSTITUTIONALLY DISHONEST. The Manhattan Beach Police Department has a very poor record for “self-policing”‘; for doing honest Internal Affairs Investigations of complaints by the public of misconduct by Manhattan Beach Police Department police officers. See, Manhattan Beach Police Department “Scorecard at a Glance”. It sustains 0% of Police Misconduct Complaints against Manhattan Beach Police Department police officers. Almost every California police agency will do whatever is practically possible to justify whatever outrages its officers and deputies perpetrate upon the public, unless the misconduct is so outrages and so easily proven to be so outrageous (i.e. clear video recording of obviously outrageous police conduct) that no police agency can defend such conduct with a straight face. However, the Manhattan Beach Police Department will often attempt to justify the obviously unjustifiable. Recently the Manhattan Beach Police Department has been sued for using a Manhattan Beach Police Department patrol car to use a “pit maneuver” (Precision Immobilization Technique) collide the police patrol car to knock a 15-year-old boy off of his e-bike who was failing to yield to a traffic stop by the officers. The Manhattan Beach Police Department officers did not even suspect the boy of a crime, but only being a witness to two other 15-year-old boys fighting by hitting each other with their skateboards.

Hill v. Houston, 482 U.S. 451 (1987) Brennan, J. However, in the real world with real police officers, and with real judges and real Deputy District Attorneys who usually bend over backwards to use the courts to protect the police from liability for their transgression, verbal protest of verbal challenge police orders or police actions will often resulting in police beatings, tasings, pepper-spraying, followed by a false arrest and bogus criminal prosecution for some fabricated “resistance offense” such as violation of Cal. Penal Code § 69 (resisting officer with force), Cal. Penal Code § 148(a)(1) (resisting/delaying/obstructing a officer), Cal. Penal Code § 240/241 (assault on officer), Cal.
