San Diego police are accused of a cover-up involving excessive force and false arrest after an off-duty officer body-slammed a federal agent. The lawsuit alleges a pattern of misconduct within the department.
- Officer Jonathan Ferraro used a racial slur and shoved DHS agent Chu Ding to the ground in a Costco parking lot. - Police allegedly covered up the incident by detaining Ding and denying him medical care for hours.
- The district attorney declined to file charges against Ding, and the city has not responded to the amended complaint. The lawsuit highlights a history of officer misconduct and command staff cover-ups, citing past cases.
