, saying she was diagnosed with a concussion and felt the officers’ actions were a clear example of police brutality.
Standt could not be reached for comment on her lawsuit. However, her attorneys — David Gammill and Greg Kirakosian — said they hope the case lays bare what they say was a brazen disregard for members of the public in Echo Park, both by the LAPD officers involved and the department as a whole. “When innocent bystanders need to start generally fearing getting beaten over the head by officers who are just mowing down people without concern, it becomes a frightening society to live in,” Kirakosian said.
The department acknowledged insufficient tracking of projectile weapons and poor communication with media in the field, and said there was “room for improvement” in its protest response. But it denied any major missteps, saying its protest response had improved from months prior, when protests over the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police erupted across the city.
