As the old saying goes, “The young lawyer knows the law, but the old lawyer knows the Judge”. THE LAPD IN THE TARZANA NEIGHBORHOOD OF LOS ANGELES ARE OFTEN BRUTAL AND ARE INSTITUTIONALLY DISHONEST. Tarzana is a suburban neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, California. Tarzana is on the site of a former ranch owned by author Edgar Rice Burroughs. It is named after Burroughs’ fictional jungle hero, Tarzan. Tarzana is patrolled by the Los Angeles Police Department, whose motto is that they are “The badest gang in town”. The LAPD has a long history of falsely arresting, beating and killing innocents. The LAPD in Tarzana officers often falsely arrest, beat, shoot and even kill anyone who either fails to immediately comply with their orders, or presents some possible threat to them. This is no joke, this is reality. Much of this LAPD brutality has resulted from increased criminal street gang activity in the Tarzana area. See, Encino-Tarzana Not Immune from Gang Violence, City Leaders Acknowledge, California News Wire Services, News Partner, April 25, 2017. The LAPD feels that they are a rival street gang, and often act like it. Many of these LAPD shootings in Tarzana were just plain unjustified. See, LAPD officer shoots and kills woman allegedly assaulting people with metal pipe in Tarzana, KABC7, July 9, 2023. This “bad shooting” by the LAPD in Tarzana is not an isolated incident. See, Attorneys: Man killed in Tarzana LAPD shooting was 50 feet from officer, Los Angeles Daily News, February 25, 2023. See also, Records Show the Killer of Daniel Elena Lopez and Valentina Orellana Peralta Previously Used Bad Tactics, Knock LA, January 18, 2023. Most of the non-fatal acts of brutality by the LAPD in Tarzana arise in “Contempt of Cop” situations; incidents involving verbal protest or verbal challenge to police orders or actions. Although verbal protest or verbal challenge to police orders or actions is constitutionally protected conduct, Houston v. Hill, 482 U.S. 451 (1987) Brennan, J., exercising one’s right to verbally protest or verbally challenge police orders or actions will often result in an old fashioned police beating and a false arrest 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. 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.
