A California city has agreed to pay $900,000 to a man who was subjected to a 17-hour police interrogation in which officers pressured him to falsely confess to murdering his father, who was alive.
During the 2018 interrogation of Thomas Perez Jr by police in Fontana, a city east of Los Angeles, officers suggested they would have Perez’s dog euthanized as a result of his actions, according to a complaint and footage of the encounter. A judge said the questioning appeared to be “unconstitutional psychological torture”, and the city agreed to settle Perez’s lawsuit for $898,000, his lawyer announced this week.
The extraordinary case of a coerced false confession has sparked widespread outrage, with footage showing Perez in extreme emotional and physical distress, including as officers brought his dog in and said the animal would need to be put down due to “depression” from witnessing a murder that had not actually occurred.
Sorry I thought that was a copypasta to start with 😂
As you were
My biggest take from this is you thinking that stealing from a company, who then pass on the costs of theft to the consumer, is “bending the rules”, despite your crimes directly costing other consumers money
Also your assumptions about my beliefs and commitments are funny :)
I’ve been homeless myself and the majority of homeless I hung out with were utter dickheads who got themselves into that situation despite being offered help, and regularly antagonised the police with drunken behaviour
Go figure 😂
Eh I couldn’t care less. Imma take what I can get. Can’t beat em join.
Thanks for your anecdotal evidence on homeless people. Been there too, well hostels and I found it to be the opposite.
“Even if I didn’t earn it and even if it costs other less well-off people money because of my greed”
Did you beat them? Did you join them? Umm…no. You just created more problems for your peers.
I hate to use the phrase “circles back” but this circles back to my calling you a cunt, and I’m going to add the adjective “selfish” now 😂
