Inglewood, CA — Christopher Bailey has no criminal record and has never been in trouble with police before. However, when he was on his way home from work last May, he was targeted by police and beaten nearly to death. Now, he is trying to hold the 7 Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies accountable for almost killing him during a traffic stop.

Bailey is now suing the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s department after his interaction with them left him deformed and blind.

“He sustained 64 to 86 total body and face hits. He was pummeled in the face approximately 35 to 44 times,” Toni Jaramilla, Baily’s attorney told reporters at a press conference this week.

According to Bailey’s lawsuit, he was on his way home from his night shift at the Post Office in May of 2020 when cops claimed he drove over a line in the street so they targeted him for revenue collection. Bailey says he did everything the police asked him to do but they beat the hell out of him anyway.

Police claim Bailey resisted and charged him with felony resisting in an attempt to justify the beating. However, according to the lawsuit, they didn’t have enough evidence for the charges to stick, so they were all dropped.

During the stop police began repeatedly punching Bailey in the face dozens of times to the point that Bailey thought they were going to kill him.

Two deputies allegedly pulled Bailey out of his car “and, without warning, proceeded to assault and batter” him, punching Bailey multiple times in the face and using a chokehold, according to the lawsuit.........read and watch more...
