She says in the suit that her son was targeted because of his knowledge about rape allegations against other officers.
The mother of a Los Angeles Police Department officer who was fatally injured during a training class at the Elysian Park police academy has sued the city, alleging the officer was targeted because of his knowledge about rape allegations against other officers.
The LAPD, which does not comment on pending litigation, has repeatedly asserted that Tipping’s death was an accident that occurred during a grappling exercise. Chief Michel Moore previously dismissed claims that Tipping was targeted to cover up a rape report as “reckless allegations” that are “without foundation.”
She described a scenario in which Tipping, portraying the suspect, aggressively attacked the trainee officer, who at one point struck Tipping in a leg with a foam baton. The strike caused no injury, but Tipping reacted “as he was supposed to in this scenario by going down on one knee to simulate a successful baton strike.
She said there was no evidence backing a contention that Tipping was beaten by multiple other officers in a scenario meant to “simulate a mob.”
