Bank Media Honcho To File Multi Million Dollar Brutality Suit Against LAPD

A powerful honcho at Deutsche Bank is suing the LAPD and the City of L.A. for millions of dollars -- we're told up to $100 mil -- for allegedly being forced into a motel room by cops and then beaten to a pulp.

Brian Mulligan, the Managing Director and Vice Chairman of Media and Telecommunications for the Bank, claims on May 15, he was in the L.A. suburb of Highland Park -- near a marijuana dispensary -- when he was approached by 2 LAPD officers.

We're told Mulligan claims the cops walked up to him and asked why he was in the area, and then proceeded to search both him and his car. Mulligan says the officers found a large amount of cash in the car -- thousands of dollars -- and then put him in a police car and drove to a nearby motel.

We're told Mulligan says the cops told him to stay in the room until they returned. He claims he waited several hours, but the cops never came back. He says he felt he was being set up to be robbed or killed, so he made a run for it. As he ran out, he says cops were right there and began beating him mercilessly.

Mulligan says he was taken to a hospital, where doctors treated him for 15 fractures to the nasal area, a broken scapula, and severe facial laceration to a point where he "barely looked human."

Mulligan was booked for resisting arrest and interfering with law enforcement.

The L.A. County D.A. declined to prosecute Mulligan and referred the case to the City Attorney where a lesser charge could be filed. But all indications are the City Attorney won't file a criminal case either.

Sources tell us Mulligan will file a claim next week against the LAPD and the City of L.A. -- something he's required to do before filing a lawsuit. We're told the lawsuit will demand $100 million.

The LAPD tells TMZ ... cops were in the area looking for a suspect who was jimmying car doors, and Mulligan matched the description. The LAPD says when they approached Mulligan, he seemed to be under the influence of something, but they determined he was sober. Cops say Mulligan told them he was tired and needed to sleep, so they took him to the motel as a courtesy.

A few hours later, cops got another call from someone who said a man matching Mulligan's description was jimmying car doors near the motel. When they approached him he charged the cops so they took him down.

We're told the LAPD is conducting an internal investigation, which is standard in major injury cases.

“Vice Chairman of Media and Telecommunications for the Bank”

He’s not a “banker”, he works for a bank.

He’s a marketing type, and I imagine that socially he swims in the culture that most of that type swim in - very Liberal, socially.

However -

If the cops are right -

(? their position that - after searching him - Mulligan wanted to rest and that’s why they took him to a motel!!!!, does not hold water; they would have released him or taken him in at that point; and what’s their excuse for remaining for hours outside the motel room they dumped him in ???)

- I bet their bosses are hoping that the “resisting arrest” attempt of Mulligan, when they met him the second time, is on the camera of one of their cruisers. It might be their only evidence defending against whatever caused Mulligan’s injuries.

Sounds like Ambien side effects.

That's a pretty damned brain dead post which you can't justify either intellectually, ethically, or philosophically.

And therefore he should be kidnapped and pistol-whipped by a gang of rogue cops.

100% correct, and well said!

Police have a culture of corruption with impunity. And notice how the bootlickers here will excuse ANY police misconduct, no matter how obvious and outrageous — likely, they are beneficiaries of the system.

Apparently you haven’t gotten the memo.

Just more junk mail. I rip 'em up and use 'em for firestarters.

Tell that to Donny Brasco. Frank Serpico. Joseph Wambaugh. Or any other former policeman-authors who were nearly killed by their "brothers in blue" just because they wouldn't take payoff money. Your naiveté is as charming as a timber rattler, and your blindness likely self-inflicted.

The proof is in the pudding, simp. Shoot any family dogs lately?

Which of the Founding fathers would have approved beating a man unrecognizably because his personal appearance was less than 100% perfectly groomed?

At best, you forgot a sarc tag.

At worst, I hope you are not an LEO. If you are, you are desperately in need of a refresher course in Peelian principles.
