LAPD sends supervisor to interview complainant, when the complainant has an active complaint against that supervisor. LAPD is either grossly incompetent, or they’ve got a big set of balls.
It’s ok. I’ve taped Sanchez maskless 6X. I’ll this do interview & file on him to his face.
Using an officer to handle an LAPD complaint case (when the subject has a complaint against that officer) can be seen as intimidation. It may not have been meant that way, but people will perceive it that way.
I can’t stress enough how broken the LAPD complaint process is.
Why is the Hollywood station even involved? I filed a complaint. Send it to Internal Affairs & they’ll interview me.
Hollywood is sticking their nose into a process that doesn’t need to include them. And their sergeants are insufferable. All they do is run interference.
I know what Hollywood is doing: fishing for info to PROTECT THEIR COPS. That’s. What. They. Do.
That’s their priority. I’ve seen it. I’ve documented it.
I’ll do a thread later showing full complaint process over police harassment. All vids. You can decide @lapdcommission

Eventually Cali will have an online database of police officer complaint history. Cop unions will try to limit info provided (total number of sustained complaints — not details).
Thats why I write them up for the smallest stuff: may hold the same weight as serious infractions.
If they try to only release “total number of sustained complaints” then a sustained mask complaint will look as bad as “out-of-policy use-of-force” complaint. So I focus on documenting clear violations LAPD policy.
Use their attempt to hide info against them.
“Whoa, I just looked that cop up. Officer Johnson has *12 sustained complaints* against him. What a fucking monster!”
Little will the know those 12 complaints were for being filmed without masks. I don’t give a fuck, either.
Just Filmed — Whitley & Hollywood Blvd, 9:51 PM: Cops stop kids sitting outside their hotel. They were *not* in the car, but standing on sidewalk. Officers then:
▪️Handcuff the kids
▪️Search the kids
▪️Search the kids’ car
Reason for stop: registration.
(1/...)
The cops then whisper in the kids’ ears *not to talk to me* (see: 6 second mark).
That’s pretty outrageous. He’s a dirty cop. (2/...)
“He was telling us don’t talk him because he follows us around.”
QUESTION: If a cop is confident their stop, why would they make such a request?
Meh, originally I was gonna write him up for maskless, but when I looked at the tape I only captured a few seconds. So it’s conceivable he was adjusting.
But since I was going to write him up, I needed his name.
So I asked.
I waited patiently. Cops then got in car. I asked for ID again. Cops say they don’t know I’m talking about. Then begin driving away.
