The incident with Officer Ashlin Pluff

Among those arrested was professional boxer O’Shea Jones. Despite her compliance, Jones was assaulted by Pluff, who punched her while Officer Dees in San Diego

Wrongful Arrest of Amari Johnson

In San Diego, Officer Dees approached Amari Johnson for allegedly smoking in a non-smoking area, despite Johnson not having any smoking materials. Dees escalated the situation, eventually arresting Johnson for “assault on a police officer” after Johnson reportedly slapped Dees’ hand away.

Racial Bias and Lawsuit Outcome

Johnson highlighted the racial bias, stating, “Hey, I’m Black out here, that’s what the issue is.” Following the wrongful arrest, Johnson sued the city of La Mesa and Dees, resulting in a $125,000 settlement. Dees was fired from the La Mesa Police Department shortly after.

Racial Slurs and Excessive Force

In San Antonio, Officer Tim Garcia was recorded using racial slurs and excessive force against Dwayne Robinson, who was wrongfully detained after a misunderstanding with mall security. Garcia’s actions were recorded on body cameras, revealing his derogatory remarks and physical abuse.

Consequences and Departmental Response

Garcia faced an internal investigation, with his superiors initially recommending a written reprimand. However, the San Antonio police chief later recommended an indefinite suspension, stating Garcia’s conduct was “as wrong as it can be.” Garcia was indefinitely suspended in January 2019.

Conclusion

These incidents underscore the persistent problem of racial bias and excessive force within law enforcement. Despite clear evidence, accountability often remains elusive, necessitating continued vigilance and reform to ensure justice and equality.
