Six years ago, a plumber found the decomposing body of Raymundo Rivera inside a pillar at a Winco supermarket in Lancaster. At the time, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department officials said the 35-year-old appeared to have fled during a traffic stop and may have “gotten inside there and gotten down to try and hide from the deputies and then couldn’t get out.”

But according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday in L.A. Superior Court, former Deputy Aaron Tanner later boasted that he and other deputies had chased Rivera — and that they knew he’d fallen into the pillar. Instead of trying to save him, the suit says, “the deputies left him there to die, and made false reports that they lost track of the suspect in the pursuit.”

...

In addition to raising a litany of other claims about Tanner — including an on-duty incident in which he allegedly cut off a dead horse’s leg — the suit also describes repeated misconduct involving other members of the [LASD gang called the] Rattlesnakes.

Los Angeles Times · Lawsuit alleges deputy gang 'shot-caller' boasted about gruesome death of fleeing suspectBy Keri Blakinger

A few days ago, I reported that LASD had begun investigating a memo accusing the East LA captain of racial bias + retaliation

Now, officials confirm she's being moved to court services. It's not a demotion - but a lateral transfer to a less-desired post.

Los Angeles TimesSheriff's captain transferred amid bias, retaliation probeBy Keri Blakinger

if you like podcasts and are interested in police issues at all I highly suggest checking out A Tradition of Violence, it’s a deep dive on LASD gangs, they’re still releasing episodes. While it’s difficult subject matter they do a great job of organizing it all and laying out the facts.
