As the old saying goes, “The young lawyer knows the law, but the old lawyer knows the Judge”

THE POLICE IN MISSION HILLS ARE BRUTAL AND INSTITUTIONALLY DISHONEST.

Mission Hills is a neighborhood in Los Angeles, California, located in the San Fernando Valley. Accordingly, Mission Hills is patrolled by the Los Angeles Police Department; an agency whose motto is “We’re the badest gang in town”. That motto is well deserved.

The 1991 Rodney King Beating Incident.

The Rodney King beating was one of the first LAPD beatings that was video recorded by a resident of the area where King was beaten. The LAPD fractured King’s skull in 9 places, and 4 LAPD Officers were criminally prosecuted by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for their beating of Rodney King. Los Angeles County District Attorney Ira Reiner agreed to move the trial of the 4 LAPD Officers to Simi Valley, California; a suburb heavily populated by police officers and Deputy District Attorneys.

The pro-cop jurors in Simi Valley acquitted all 4 LAPD Officers and the black population in Los Angeles rioted in L.A., burning 5,500 buildings, and resulting in the Governor calling out the National Guard to suppress the riots. See, All 4 in King Beating Acquitted : Violence Follows Verdicts; Guard Called Out : Trial: Governor deploys troops at mayor’s request after arson, looting erupt. Ventura County jury apparently was not convinced that videotape told the whole story. Los Angeles Times, April 30, 1992.

Following the acquittal of the LAPD officers in state court, the United States Attorney’s Officers criminally prosecuted those same 4 officers in federal court for violating Rodney King’s federal constitutional rights under 18 U.S.C. § 242; violation of constitutional rights under color of authority. Two of the officers, Sgt. Stacey Koon and Lawrence Powell were convicted, basically because the trial was conducted in downtown Los Angeles, and the jurors were not so “pro-cop”.

The LAPD Rampart Scandal.

In the movie “Training Day”, Denzel Washington, plays a real-life LAPD Officer named Rafael Perez, who worked out of the LAPD’s Rampart Division. In 1995 the LAPD formed a CRASH Anti-Gang Unit that was run out of the LAPD’s Rampart Division. The Rampart Station’s CRASH Anti-Gang Unit attempted to take over the narcotics business in Central Los Angeles by murdering and framing suspected gang members drug dealers. See, Rampart, 7 years later, Los Angeles Daily News, August 29, 2017. When Rafael Perez was eventually arrested and turned states evidence, over 100 convictions of real criminals in Los Angeles County Superior Court were overturned.

In 2004, Mr. Steering obtained an $850,000.00 award from the City of Los Angeles for a young man who LAPD Rampart CRASH Officer Rafael Perez attempted to frame for a murder that took place in a McDonald’s restaurant in Central Los Angeles. Jorge Alvarez v. City of Los Angeles, et al., U.S. District Court (Los Angeles).
