Sheriff Alex Villanueva has repeatedly denied he was part of a cover-up.
LOS ANGELES — A Los Angeles County criminal grand jury has opened an investigation into the Sheriff’s Department’s handling of an altercationfor three minutes, sparking comparisons to the fatal tactics used by Minneapolis police against George Floyd.
“To date, our investigation indicates that the allegation of misconduct was orchestrated by involved department executives to falsely portray themselves as whistleblowers in order to avoid discipline, up to and including termination. The district attorney has been given this and all other relevant information.”
Security video of the altercation, first obtained by The Times, shows Johnson keeping his knee on Escalante’s head for three minutes after he was handcuffed and did not appear to be resisting.
