there are good cops, bad cops and stupid cops. they all have the legal ability to do you harm. this case is at least a stupid one and an indication of how far gone this country is;
Long Beach, CA — The family of Mona Rodriguez was shocked and heartbroken in September after learning their 18-year-old daughter was shot in the head by a Long Beach Unified School District police officer. Rodriguez, who was unarmed and presenting no threat to the cop who shot her, was kept on life support for several days after the shooting until she was taken off life support on October 5 and her organs donated.
The shooting was captured on video and was apparently so over the top that the cop who shot her, Long Beach school safety officer Eddie F. Gonzalez, 51, was immediately fired and subsequently charged with first-degree murder. Gonzalez pleaded not guilty in October and has remained in jail ever since on a $2 million bond.
This week, Rodriguez’s mother filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court alleging the district failed to properly train its school safety officers in use of force tactics — an understatement.
The Long Beach Post reports that in her lawsuit, Manuela Sahagun, Rodriguez’s mother, said Long Beach Unified was negligent in training Gonzalez in de-escalation tactics set by the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST). As a result, Gonzalez overreacted when he fired into a moving car, which is against school policy, according to the lawsuit.
“The training policies of LBUSD School Safety Officers were not adequate to train its officers to handle the usual and recurring situations with students and residents that said School Safety Officers have contact with,” the lawsuit said.
“I just want justice for my girl, my baby mama, my love of my life that I can’t get back ever again,” her boyfriend and father of their child, Rafeul Chowdhury said tearfully after she was shot. “I don’t know what to do with my 5-month-old son.”...........read and watch more.....
