A California city has agreed to pay $900,000 to a man who was subjected to a 17-hour police interrogation in which officers pressured him to falsely confess to murdering his father, who was alive.
During the 2018 interrogation of Thomas Perez Jr by police in Fontana, a city east of Los Angeles, officers suggested they would have Perez’s dog euthanized as a result of his actions, according to a complaint and footage of the encounter. A judge said the questioning appeared to be “unconstitutional psychological torture”, and the city agreed to settle Perez’s lawsuit for $898,000, his lawyer announced this week.
The extraordinary case of a coerced false confession has sparked widespread outrage, with footage showing Perez in extreme emotional and physical distress, including as officers brought his dog in and said the animal would need to be put down due to “depression” from witnessing a murder that had not actually occurred.

Did you beat them? Did you join them? Umm…no. You just created more problems for your peers.
I hate to use the phrase “circles back” but this circles back to my calling you a cunt, and I’m going to add the adjective “selfish” now 😂
Do corporations earn everything they have?
In the UK we looking like renationalising the water companies after they’ve essentially taken out any profits done no work to better services or infrastructure over the same time, so regardless of what you say I don’t give a shit bro.
I’m looking out for me and mine and yall can do the same.
May be a cunt mate but I’ll stand by what I do and own that shit.
