On Wednesday night, the Sheriff's Department released a video regarding a use-of-force incident.
During what should have been a routine traffic stop last year, a Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy from the Palmdale station punched a mother in the face while she held her 3-week-old baby in her arms, begging authorities not to take her child.
In a 42-page ruling that is sure to be contentious, a civil court judge effectively blocked the county watchdog from thoroughly investigating deputy gangs that operate within the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. The bulk of the eight-minute video — time-stampped just after midnight — shows a tense conversation between a group of deputies and a woman clutching her baby, seated cross-legged on the ground. The deputies can be heard saying that the woman was riding in a car driven by someone without a valid license and that her baby was not in a car seat.
“Y’all gonna have to shoot me dead to take my baby from my arms,” she says, before a struggle ensues. “I cannot speak to what my predecessor did or did not do,” Luna said Wednesday. “The action I am describing to you today is action that I took in the last couple of days.” The earlier incident took place on June 24, when deputies responded to 911 calls for a reported robbery in progress at a WinCo Foods grocery store on Avenue K in Lancaster. After arriving on scene, they encountered a man and a woman who allegedly matched the description of the suspects given to 911.
