  1. I remember the doctor that will smith played in movie was the medical examiner a few years ago and quit because of this issue.

  2. Great report on the Los Angeles County jails, which were run by Sheriff Lee Baca, who was responsible for the jail hyper-violence that led to inmate beating deaths. Baca was released from federal prison in January of 2022 after serving two years for his role trying to suppress an FBI investigation into jailhouse violence. The record shows that the city and county of Los Angeles is a cesspool of corruption, from the Mayor's office to the City Council to the Sheriff's office and the LAPD.

  3. “Incarcerated space should be the safest place in the world”

    I’m not sure about that one 🤔

  4. Perhaps take accountability for your life? Finish school. Don’t go to prison? Don’t carry a gun? Don’t sling dope?

  5. Having to go through the autopsy report page by page to discover the truth of how your son died, heartbreaking.

  6. Great reporting….this story is very disturbing. I am glad to know a light is being shined on this

  7. Goddamn, I wish the civilian population could actually trust the brutal, racist, sexist scumbags paid with our own money to “protect and serve” us. It really does appear that only white wealthy men are protected from anything at all.

  8. I would expect this in texas, wherein a person need not possess any medical training at all, before becoming a coroner. SHAME, SHAME on the city of LA. HOW DARE YOU BE SO CALLUS. I hope with all of my heart, those involved meet a truly brutal, lonely end. I want every one of them beaten to death, in the precise way her son wa. They all deserve the exact same death.

  9. The Lynnwood Towers is one of the shadiest jails in all of Ca. It's run by the LASD so it's not surprising.

  10. These police make me sick!

  11. Now do Florida……..

  12. Dirty cops, dirty medical examiner.

  13. Very sad but not surprising one bit that people in a position of authority might just do whatever they can to protect their institutions and reduce their culpability. Happens every day in all sorts of institutions on different scales.

  14. Im telling you no one in America believes this shi# happens with police, Judges, DA, Lawyers, the entire system is corrupt. Even misdemeanors handed out 90% are falsely filed which will destroy your changes for college and employment. What about that officer that raped 30 women inside his cruiser and when they filed charges they did not take it seriously. Also women working night shifts at companies get raped by their supervisors. But we all know black people are always taken to jail and they never see the day of light again.

  15. California is so liberal yet they’re still murdering people of color like clockwork with ZERO consequences!!!! SMDH!!!

  16. 95% of traders lose learn to hold. No one goes from broke to rich without market pain. Stop selling and buying on emotion. Buy. Hold. Get through the pain. In 10years you"ll do great. Don't buy meme coins.

  17. Too much corruption in our justice system. 🤔❤🇺🇸

  18. Medical Examiners can’t be trusted to tell the truth, they work to cover the corruption and murders of law enforcement.

  19. The government / cops are the BIGGEST gang in America.

  20. Don't be a rapper.
    Don't go to jail.
    Don't die.

  21. Don't do things that get you arrested, kids.

  22. The scientific method kills racism.
