A retired LAPD homicide detective was caught on video yelling racial slurs at a Black man last weekend.
Video of the incident was posted to social media and shows the former detective demanding the other man to provide his driver’s license following a crash in Valencia.
The retired detective can be heard telling the young man, “Oh, but you can say (nigger) and I can’t?”
He then yells , “Go back into your little cage until the monkey controller gets here.”
The LAPD acknowledged Tuesday that the man in the video was a retired detective.
Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon announced that his office will review 370 past cases handled by the retired homicide detective.
“The video in question is truly disturbing, particularly because it involves a former homicide detective who is showing racist tendencies,” Los Angeles Dist. Atty. George Gascón said. “My office is taking immediate action and has already identified a number of cases in which this retired detective was a witness. We are currently in the process of notifying the defense attorneys in such cases.”
