The 13-year-old Anaheim resident involved in a physical struggle with off-duty Los Angeles Police Department officer Kevin Ferguson in February has filed a civil rights lawsuit against the city of Anaheim and LAPD.
Councilman Jose Moreno proposed the city beef up its Public Safety Board into an “investigative police commission” while councilwomen Kris Murray and Lucille Kring argued that the board should remain in its current form.
The Los Angeles Police Department has identified the off-duty officer involved in a physical struggle with Anaheim teenagers as Kevin Ferguson.
Mayor Tom Tait and Chief Raul Quezada said they were “disturbed” by video footage of an altercation between an off duty cop and a group of teens, and pledged to do a “fair” and “impartial” investigation into the incident.
Anaheim Mayor Tom Tait and a city board responsible for hearing public grievances will address the controversy created by a confrontation between an off-duty Los Angeles police officer, who apparently fired his gun, and a group of teens that led to a demonstration by more than 200 people and the arrest of 23.
