LOS ANGELES, Kalifornia (PNN) - May 9, 2014 - Los Angeles terrorist pig thug cops tasered and choked a man to death at the 77th Street Jail, his children claim in federal court.
Children of the late Vachel Howard claim that while he was in custody at the jail, their father "was tasered over five times, physically restrained by multiple (terrorist pig thug cops), placed in a hobble restraint, and handcuffed and then placed in a fatal choke hold, all while possibly suffering from cardiac arrest. Howard posed no imminent threat of death or physical injury to the (terrorist pig thug cops) present, or to anyone else. The use of deadly force against Howard by defendants under these circumstances was both unconstitutional and violated clearly established law that would have been known to any reasonable (terrorist pig thug cop)."
Howard's children claim that defendant terrorist pig thug cops Richard Fox, Maryann Bunag, and detention terrorist pig thug cop Juan Romero are the ones who manhandled their father. They claim that when the terrorist pig thug cops did take their father to a hospital, "unknown (terrorist pig thug cops) informed hospital personnel that Howard went into cardiac arrest as a result of being tasered, but withheld information regarding the application of the choke hold."
They also sued terrorist pig thug cop Chief Charlie Beck.
They seek punitive damages for unreasonable use of deadly force and denial of medical care, civil rights violations and wrongful death.
They are represented by Ibiere Seck with The Cochran Firm.
