Los Angeles (AP) — A Los Angeles police officer injured during training was beaten by fellow police officers in an exercise aimed at "simulating a mob", according to allegations of illegal death. Against the city by his mother.
Houston Tipping, 32, was injured at a police academy on May 26 and died three days later. Police chief Michel Moore and mayor Eric Garcetti attended his funeral Wednesday.
Tipping's mother, Shirley Huffman, filed a claim notice against the city on Friday alleging tort and civil rights infringement, the Los Angeles Times reported. Such claims often signal a proceeding.
Huffman claimed that her son had "struck her head so hard that it bleeds" and broke her neck many times, leading to death. Claims to have been.
According to The Times, the allegation claims that the training exercise was "already questioned" before the chip was injured because another police officer was injured.
Police spokesman Captain Kelly Munis told the newspaper that the ministry could not comment on this claim. The agency has begun its own investigation into the case to determine "whether there are any changes that need to be made," Munis said.
Five-year veteran Tipping worked as a police officer in the San Fernando Valley.
