Re: LAPD beats Deutsche Bank exec to a bloody pulp

What could be the motive? Someone sending a message to someone?

Re: LAPD beats Deutsche Bank exec to a bloody pulp

Probably more likely they beat nobodies up all the time but no one notices.
You would think they would have secret Im Really Rich codewords or something.

Probably no motive. Just stupidity lumbering on as usual...

Re: LAPD beats Deutsche Bank exec to a bloody pulp

here is the LA Times quoting the police report and Flanagan's attorney. there are a lot of moving parts in this one

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la...,4114845.story

On the night of May 15, Flanagan said in an interview, Mulligan drove to a dispensary on the border of Highland Park and Eagle Rock to buy medical marijuana products, which help him sleep. He said law enforcement officers — he was uncertain from what agency — detained him, walked him to a run-down apartment complex and told him to go to the fourth floor, his attorney said.

While making his way through the building, Mulligan panicked, his attorney said. He ran to the street, spotted some law enforcement officers and sprinted in the opposite direction. Mulligan thought he'd be safe if he reached Occidental College, less than a mile away, Flanagan said. "He was running for his life," the attorney said.

About 10:20 p.m., LAPD Officers James Nichols and John Miller responded to a report of a white male trying to break into a car outside a Jack in the Box, the police report said. Soon a second call came in reporting a similar break-in attempt — and a similar-looking suspect — not far away.

The officers came across Mulligan near an entrance to Occidental. Dressed in a pink shirt and tan pants, he matched the description of the would-be burglar, according to the report. His attorney said Mulligan never tried to pry open car doors. He was drenched in sweat and walked with an "unsteady gait," the police report said. Yet he passed several sobriety tests.

According to the report, Mulligan told police that he'd ingested marijuana and, in recent days, "white lightning," a nickname for powerful drugs known as bath salts. He said he hadn't slept in four days, was going through a divorce and felt depressed, the report said. Mulligan also said he was being chased, according to the report, which nonetheless described him as calm, lucid and cooperative. Mulligan denies saying any of this or being under the influence of any drug that night, his attorney said.

The officers drove Mulligan to his Toyota Prius, which they searched; Mulligan's attorney said he had not given them permission. They found his Irish passport and enough cash that they called in a supervisor, said the report, which did not specify an amount. Mulligan's claim pegged the cash at about $5,000, a sum he said he normally carried for business travel. Then police took Mulligan — whose cellphone and passport remained in his car, his attorneys said — to the nearby Highland Park Motel, a low-rent building across from homes with barred windows.

From here, the two sides' accounts diverge wildly.... cont.

Re: LAPD beats Deutsche Bank exec to a bloody pulp

Mulligan's story doesn't quite add up to me. What do y'all think?

Firsly, what are you doing as a bank exec in a relatively rough neighborhood at about 10:30pm dressed like a tourist in a Prius with $5,000 cash? When your cover story is buying medical marijuana, the truth is probably a little different (they won't give you thousands worth at a time by law). Why would you need that "for business purposes" there.

Regardless, the only reason the low-rent motel right there in the middle of the story makes any sense is that he was trying to avoid a DUI charge. Even if he passed a field sobriety test at the time, it doesn't mean he'd pass a blood test. So police said, fine, you don't have to start your car, but we know you'll drive if we leave you, so get a room and sleep it off. Now they'll use "police language" for that in the police report saying that he simply claimed fatigue so as not to complicate matters. But that has to be what happened. And that's why he had to "cajole" the clerk into giving his keys back. The clerk probably sees high and drunk people wandering through all the time.

Now two and a half hours go by and he's still in that neighborhood and on foot? He talks about trying to make it to Occidental College. He's 500ft away if he's at the Highland Park motel. It's a one to two minute jog and a 4 minute walk.

I mean, even in his account, he got his keys from the clerk. So why is he still wandering the streets on foot hours later when they find him? Why didn't he just drive home?

Regardless, he certainly did take a beating. But that doesn't mean that the story makes any sense. Maybe a better account will explain some of this.

i'd run with this idea as well, but not around an LAPD cop at night near a motel room of course.

banker has secret life as drug addict

gets drunk & heads to badlands for drugs

cops catch him trying to score.

figure out he's rich (white complexion, sophisticated speech, dress, car, etc) don't want to get in trouble for arresting him.

but he's drunk so they can't let him go... they'll get in trouble if he crashes later.

they talk him into staying overnight at a nearby hotel. they leave him there... they trust him to stay put... he's a rich guy, right? a pussy in the wrong hood. he's scared... he doesn't want to make trouble.

then he talks the clerk out of his keys leaves (the customer paid, keys are not the clerk's business)

he's drunk and came there for drugs... he goes looking again... in the same place and... oops... runs into the same cops.

now they are pissed off.

he's lost his banker immunity. they try to arrest him.

he attacks them...

cops hate that.

they beat the shit out of him... just like they do if he was anyone else... but no pics in the latimes for them...



& that leads to...
