In part:
Sandra Thomas Moses sued Los Angeles, its Police Department and Doe officers 1-50 for the wrongful death of her daughter Alesia Thomas, who died of cardiac arrest in the early hours of July 22, 2012. Moses also sued on behalf of one of her late daughter's two children, in Superior Court.
Moses claims her daughter
stopped breathing within minutes of the attack by a female LAPD officer. She was pronounced dead 16 minutes after arriving at a medical center in southwest Los Angeles, according to an Aug. 31, 2012 report in the L.A. Times.
...
"According to the news release from the Los Angeles Police Department, as Doe officers 1 through 5, inclusive, were taking Alesia into custody, she resisted arrest and tried to 'pull away' from officers," the complaint states. "The officers performed a 'leg sweep,' took Alesia to the ground and handcuffed her hands behind her back. When Alesia allegedly continued to resist, the officers allegedly called for back-up and placed Alesia into so-called 'hobble restraints,'" an adjustable strap used to restrain the ankles.
"At that point Alesia was completely defenseless.
Doe Officer I verbally stated to Alesia that she was going to kick Alesia in Alesia's genitalia if she further resisted. Thereafter, Doe Officer 1, with great force, actually kicked Alesia in Alesia's genitalia," the complaint states.
