Black Man Beaten by L.A. Police files $25 Million claim with city

The Black man beaten by police last month filed a claim Thursday with the city of Los Angeles for $25 million in damages. Stanley Miller, 36, alleged he suffered "brain damage, spinal injuries, trunk-torso injuries, internal injuries, emotional distress, and bruises and contusions" during his televised arrest near a concrete creek bed in Compton on June 23. The sum he is seeking, the claim said, is justified by the "malicious and egregious conduct of the LAPD." "The LAPD planted evidence, lied about evidence, destroyed evidence and has attempted to cover up its misdeeds," according to the document. [more] and  [more]
