[lbo-talk] Men's Central Jail news

[Dennis Claxton]

Earlier this year an ACLU lawyer went on record saying she was an 
eyewitness to deputies beating a guy who was down at Men's Central 
Jail in Los Angeles.  She said they kept shouting in a rote manner 
"stop resisting" in an apparent effort to create plausible deniability.

She's got help now.

Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies brutalized inmates on multiple 
occasions and their supervisors failed to take complaints of the 
abuse seriously, according to sworn declarations from two chaplains 
and a Hollywood producer who volunteered in the jails. Two of the 
volunteers said they heard deputies yell "stop fighting" as deputies 
pummeled inmates who appeared to be doing nothing to fight back.
