Wrongful-death lawsuit filed against LA County Sheriff's Department in Fatal Shooting
Loading the player ...
The family says surveillance video shows that Jonathan Cuevas posed no threat during the 2010 incident.
Video shows a squad car pulling up next to three men walking along the street. A deputy flashes a light at them.
As he exited the car Cuevas, 20, started running and the deputy shot at him.
"He fires six shots running towards Jonathan, and the seventh shot he stands over Jonathan and shoots him right through the torso, as a coup de grace kill shot," said James Segall-Gutierrez, an attorney for the Cuevas family.
"Was he armed? Yes. Is the whole story being told now? No. Let's not forget who has already investigated this: Internal Affairs, Office of Independent Review monitoring that. Homicide Bureau. The District Attorney," said Sheriff's Spokesman Steve Whitmore.
Segall-Gutierrez says Cuevas' fingerprints were not on the gun the department claims he was carrying, and questions its authenticity.

5 million? Don't they calculate how much that individual would have earned in the course of a lifetime to come up with the amount? Well they should .. I think most would be owing the state a few hundred thousand when the totals are added up.
I'm sure his gun wasn't there just for self defense.

Huh? you only will make a few hundred thousand in the course of your lifetime? Sad.
He probably didn't even have a job. How much the person made isn't what you base a lawsuit off of completely.

@chrisadamley You misunderstood, he would have cost the state a few hundred thousand in damages through his criminal deeds, bc I put money on it ,that he was unemployed and he had a criminal record.

@buoymarker internal affairs is a fucking joke... it's like cops policing cops... they don't always do a good job at that and there are ways to manipulate your own department so that internal affairs doesn't suspect a thing.

@Fresh2Death IA isn't a police agency.. it's an separate civilian department. IA has been the down fall of many cops.

Hey super-stupid.....deadly force cases are also presented to the DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S office for review, as well as the "Independent Board of Review" which is made up of a group of attorneys, not affiliated in any way to the law enforcement agencies or the courts.
They all gave that cop's shooting a clean bill of health.

The video that I watched it looked like a back shooting, but the video was not good enough to tell if the dead mexican was pointing a gun over his shoulder.

He was brown so of course he was a threat. The officer deserves a steak dinner and a handjob from the dead turd's mother.

Police do have a right to use deadly force to defend themselves or another person if they are facing a deadly threat situation. Police officer's also have the right to shoot at a fleeing person if that person is armed with a deadly weapon, and the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect is a threat to other people.
This officer is going to have to prove that this person was threatening to him or someone else or he's in big trouble.
I bet the city / county will pay for part of th More..

They should've gone for way more than $5-million. $5-million will buy the L.A. County park service a new bathroom next to a public baseball field.

If a fleeing suspect is armed, he can be shot to protect others in the area because this armed suspect poses an immediate danger to others. The video is grainy so it is hard to see the suspect's hand movements.
It is common for these street savages to carry guns in their waistband and it is common for them to motion their hand onto the gun or even to pull the gun out of their waistband. Sometimes they do this so they don't drop the gun, sometimes they do this because they are about to toss More..
