As the old saying goes, “The young lawyer knows the law, but the old lawyer knows the Judge”. THE SANTA MONICA POLICE DEPARTMENT IS OFTEN A BRUTAL AGENCY AND IS INSTITUTIONALLY DISHONEST. The Santa Monica Police Department is often cruel and brutal entity. There are plenty of Officer Involved Shootings by Santa Monica Police Department, none of which the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office ever finds to have been wrongful. See, Officer Involved Shooting of Christopher Davis by Santa Monica Police Department Officers Michael Chun and Kevin Bacarella, Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, June 21, 2022 (no prosecution of officers based on finding of justified self-defense shooting); October 30, 2018. See also, Non-Fatal Officer Involved Shooting of Wolfgang Mountford by Santa Monica Police Department Officer Eloy Rodriguez, Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, June 21, 2022 (no prosecution of officer based on finding of justified self-defense shooting). The Santa Monica Police Department has also been found to have shot at innocent protesters of the George Floyd killing. See, Santa Monica to pay BLM protestors $2.3M to settle wrongful arrest claims, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA RECORD, January 25, 2025. That agency has also been plagued with other lawsuits for egregious acts of brutality. See, Santa Monica Pays $3 Million To Two Women Severely Injured When An Officer Cut Their Hands With A Knife And Scissors, EIN Press Wire, July 30, 2024. See also, Why Can’t Santa Monica, California Succeed at Police Oversight and Reform?, Stanford Center for Racial Justice, October 6, 2022. There is almost no limit what the Santa Monica Police Department will do to protect themselves from the victims of their outrages. They beat, falsely arrest and procure the malicious criminal prosecutions of their victims, usually for fabricated “resistance offenses” 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. Penal Code § 242 / 243(b) & (c) (battery on officer causing injury) and Cal. Penal Code § 245(c) (assault on officer with weapon). IF YOU ARE THE VICTIM OF POLICE MISCONDUCT, JERRY L.
