By approving a $25-million payout to a man shot and paralyzed by deputies with no discussion or call for change, the Board of Supervisors in effect said nothing went wrong in the incident.
The Board of Supervisors is the guardian of Los Angeles County’s budget and has oversight over county policies and actions. So it is disappointing, to say the least, that the supervisors asked no questions and engaged in no discussion last week when they signed off on a $25-million settlement for Isaias Cervantes, a Cudahy man who was shot in his home by sheriff’s deputies on March 31, 2021.
The payout comes in the wake of a February report from county Inspector General Max Huntsman that sharply criticizes the sheriff’s Risk Management Bureau, which prepares the department’s corrective action reports — and also helps defend against lawsuits. There may be an inherent conflict between those two tasks, as Huntsman believes.
