Current and former Pasadena police officers, all of them people of color, allege they suffered assaults, discrimination and retaliation by fellow officers.
Several current and former Pasadena police officers and supervisors — all of them people of color — suffered assaults, discrimination and retaliation by a pair of department cliques, one of which is dubbed the Good Ole Boys Club, according to a series of lawsuits filed against the department. Three allege they were assaulted by colleagues. Officer Jarvis Shelby said he was placed in a headlock by a commander in August. Lt.
Crutchfield's attorney said that police were called to the scene when one of Towns' sons, a juvenile, was 'understandably upset by the death of their father.' The incident was captured on body camera video and shows her touching Officer Ralph Palacios' arm and then his shoulder in what she characterized as an effort to de-escalate a situation in which he was arguing with a Black woman who was being detained.
