LAPD says it was a training exercise but this sh*t was a gang initiation. There is no training that will allow you survive a mob beating if they're really trying to off you - once they start kicking you in the head it's pretty much all she wrote.
That a department known for having literal gangs throughout it is doing real deal gang initiations... and so violently that they're k*lling each other... is extremely alarming
They're going to get away with it too. Police chief and the mayor spoke at his funeral but they were able to bar his mother from speaking
”Houston Tipping, 32, died three days after an on-duty accident at the department’s Elysian Park Academy on May 26.
Tipping was acting as a bike instructor in a scenario that involved grappling with another officer, LAPD said in a statement after his death.
At some point, “Officer Tipping fell to the floor and suffered a catastrophic spinal cord injury,” police said.
Tipping’s mother, Shirley Huffman, filed a notice of claim against the city on Friday, alleging wrongful death and civil rights violations, the Los Angeles Times reported. Such claims are often precede lawsuits.
Huffman’s claim alleges her son was “repeatedly struck in the head severely enough that he bled,” and that he suffered multiple breaks in his neck, causing his death, the Times reported."
