Compton School Police Lawsuits

LOS ANGELES - Dec. 20, 2013 - PRLog -- COMPTON CA: In a lawsuit filed there have been multiple allegations regarding the wrongful conduct of the Compton School District Police. Allegations include constitutional rights violations, filing falsified police reports, discrimination, wrongful arrests, and witness intimidation. The wrongful actions of the Compton school police have negatively affected multiple students. A recent complaint filed states; “School Police physically assaulted several of these persons for no reason at all other than the color of their skin, their race and/or voicing their concern against police and school abuses. Several of the Plaintiffs and others similarly situated were racially profiled and then illegally deported, without due process.”

Many students have come forward with these wrongful actions and some have even filed lawsuits. Not surprisingly, the Compton School District Police are no stranger to lawsuits. Previously filed litigants have claim that the Compton School Police have displayed a very clear pattern of racial profiling, discrimination, and abuse towards students of certain races and ethnicities. Parents and community members agree that school is a place for education and learning, it is not where someone should have to fear being treated differently because of their race.

The main issue here is equality. Claimants against the School Police say that the Compton school district officials and the school police are predominately African American, while the student population is roughly 75 percent Latino. This sets as a precursor for certain students, mainly Latinos, to be treated differently and racially profiled. The actions allegedly committed by the Compton School Police have become a hot button issue over the past few months and is still ongoing. “This issue is not one that is taken lightly. We have a panel member attorney who is currently working a multi-plaintiff lawsuit against the Compton School Police and school district for wrongful actions. Many students have come forward and exploited the problem with discrimination in the Compton School District.”, explains COO of RepresentYou, Gabe Dominocielo.

Although the Compton School District claims these incidences are few and far apart, evidence suggests otherwise.

As we can see from the number of lawsuits filed, racially charged conflicts with the Compton School District are frequent.
