EVIL!!! This is one sick story! The poor guy even tried to kill himself in the interrogation room.

California cops threaten to kill man's dog if he does not falsely confess to killing father - who was still alive






California cops have agreed to pay a nearly $1million settlement after they forced a confession out of a mentally unstable man by threatening to kill his dog if he did not falsely admit to murdering his father - who was alive and well.

Thomas Perez Jr was questioned by police for over 17 hours in 2018 in an interrogation that amounted to 'unconstitutional psychological torture,' according to the judge.

Perez reported his father missing to police. He was never formally arrested, but was still taken to the Fontana Police Department on August 8, 2018 to be questioned.

He was told by officers that if he didn't confess to murdering his father, they would have to put his dog to sleep due to 'depression' over witnessing a murder that never occurred.

After hours of interrogation, Perez became visibly distressed and resorted to self destructive acts including pulling his hair out, hitting himself and tearing off his shirt.

I'll try, the DM was the only media that really took it public.  Very disappointing coverage.
These cops literally took a play out of Stalin's book to take this guy down.
I'm sure Nucelinni will be there to cover for them.
