FBI opens investigation
into videotaped clubbing
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The
FBI opened a civil rights investi
gation Tuesday into the videotaped
clubbing of two illegal immigrants,
and the Mexican government con
demned the beating as a “flagrant
violation” of the rights of its citi
zens.
Sheriff’s deputies clubbed the
immigrants Monday after chasing
a battered pickup crammed with
people suspected of sneaking across
the border. TV news helicopters
captured the beating on video in
broad daylight.
During the chase, the pickup
reached speeds of 100 mph, its
shabby camper top disintegrating in
the wind to reveal the people
crammed inside.
The truck finally stopped on the
side of the freeway and the passen
gers in back ran away.
One deputy, holding his baton
two-handed like a baseball bat, was
videotaped clubbing the driver on
the back and shoulders, even as the
driver fell, face down, on the
ground.
When a woman got out of the
cab, the same deputy beat her in the
back with the baton, then grabbed
her by the hair and pulled her to the
ground. At least one other deputy
struck her with his baton.
Neither person, both Mexicans,
appeared to resist or attempt to get
away from the white officers.
Andrian Flores Martinez, 26, the
driver, had bruises and a possible
broken elbow, authorities said. He
was jailed, while 33-year-old
Leticia Gonzalez, who was bruised
on her face and arms, was released
Tuesday to the custody of her law
yer, David Ross.
The sheriff’s department identi
fied the deputies Tuesday as Tracy
Watson and Kurtis Franklin and
said both were suspended without
pay. Franklin has been with the de
partment for 20 years, Watson for
five.
“I’m not going to stand up here
and say that there was no force
used, because you would laugh me
out of the room,” Lohman told re
porters. “We saw it, we saw the
same videotape that everyone’s
seen, and we’re embarrassed.”
Both the Los Angeles and Riv
erside sheriff’s departments were
investigating. The clubbing hap
pened in South El Monte in Los
Angeles County but the pursuit be
gan in Riverside County.
Mexico’s Department of Foreign
Relations said it had “expressed its
indignation” and ‘energetically
condemned this flagrant violation
of the human rights of its nation
als” in a letter to the State Depart
ment.
