to recap

LAPD claims they took Brian Mulligan to a motel because he was sleepy. He waited several hours ..felt like his life was in danger..and tried to get out of the room.

Oh, and he had a lot of money in the trunk of his car.

Sounds like they tried to shake him down.

KGB. sounds like set up or shake down.

I hope he wins that lawsuit.

This BS being done under color of law, with a badge, really needs to end.

“they took Brian Mulligan to a motel”

False imprisonment and attempt to cover up police brutality.
He must’a had the wrong bumper sticker on his car.....

The Mafia called that a ride...

Anyone think this will get as much media coverage as Rodney King?

Sounds like the cops wanted to make some side-income via kidnapping. If it was you or me instead of an executive with access to serious lawyers and friends back at Fox, it might even have worked.

Take a look at the comments by the BOlsheviki haters at the Source you linked. They’re unbelievable.

It's weird that TMZ would leave out all the relevant elements of the story:

The police were called to the fast food restaurant because they at the store were alarmed and disturbed by the guys behavior.
When Police get there he tells them he's having issues in his life and he's been snorting bath salts.
They take him to a motel to sleep it off.
The police get called later because he left his motel and was alarming and disturbing other people in public in the middle of a road. When they made contact with them again he acted like an animal and made threatening advances at them.

Cops say Mulligan told them he was tired and needed to sleep, so they took him to the motel as a courtesy.

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.

…

A few hours later, cops say they got ANOTHER call from someone who said a man matching Mulligan's description was in traffic, trying to open people's car doors. When cops approached him, they say Mulligan "took a fighting stance" and charged the officers, so they took him down.

I like the cops version - he looked tired so we took him to a motel. Then we got a call that the same guy we determined wasn't robbing cars before, really was the guy. He hopped out of the motel that we had taken him to (somehow he got back in there after being noticed again robbing cars in the interim) and was about to beat us senseless with his bare hands, so we had to render his face into ground round.

The city needs to look deep within a mirror to figure out the truth here. A thug with a badge is a betrayal, like a molester posing as a priest or teacher.

Mulligan's lawyers, J. Michael Flanagan and Valerie Wass, tell TMZ cops at the scene conceded Mulligan was NOT under the influence of drugs and they described him as “calm, lucid, and cooperative." They tell TMZ, "Mulligan had committed no violations of law and was not arrested. No drugs were found during a search of his person or his vehicle, and the officers found absolutely no evidence of drug use by Mulligan."

Anyway, that is what the original reports I saw the other day said.

The banker's lawyers sure got their story cleared up. It's totally different from the news reports earlier given.

It is really, really, really hard to break the scapula. Poor guy.

That’s right. Add to the recap:

He was not on drugs or drunk. He had no booze or drugs in his system. He was not observed doing anything wrong. The police’s story doesn’t make sense — he looked like someone who was wanted for questioning for something else so they take him to a motel room because he looks tired.

I think you have a couple police officers who aren’t just losing their jobs — they are going to jail.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Officer’s took him to a motel? What’s wrong with that picture? How about just taking him to the police station for booking? I smell a major payday coming for this guy.

They took him to a motel because he was sleepy? To a Motel Nite Stix? “We’ll put your lights out for you”? Free facial massage included when you sleep on our Beauty Arrest bunk?
