We re terrorized : LA sheriffs frequently harass families of people they kill, says report | Los Angeles

The LA sheriff’s department (LASD), which has faced national scrutiny for its corruption scandals and killings of young Black and Latino men, has routinely retaliated against victims’ relatives who speak out, the groups said in the report released on Tuesday. The authors collected detailed accounts of alleged harassment from the families of Paul Rea, an 18-year-old killed during a traffic stop in 2019, and Anthony Vargas, a 21-year-old shot 13 times in 2018. The report, also produced by Black Lives Matter LA and Centro Community Service Organization, alleges: LASD deputies regularly drive by or park in front of the Rea and Vargas families’ homes and workplaces and at times have taken photos or recorded them for no reason.

Report to reveal allegations that deputies harassed families who protest deputy killings of loved ones

Report details allegations that deputies harassed families who protest deputy killings of loved ones Published  LOS ANGELES - A coalition of civil rights organizations released a report Tuesday alleging that sheriff s deputies target and harass families mourning the loss of loved ones killed by deputies, and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors ordered an in-depth investigation. Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly Mitchell said the report underscored the need for action. No family should be mistreated or harassed for simply wanting answers for the loved ones they lost at the hands of sheriff deputies, Mitchell said. This report captures real life experiences of the breakdown of community trust, and it should not be taken lightly. The abuse of power documented in this report highlights the urgent need for transparency and accountability and must be met with corrective action.
