CBSLA Reporter Laurie Perez talked to the mother's attorney, who claims that officer Houston Tipping was beaten to death.
Becoming a police officer for Houston Tipping was not something he dreamed of being - it was a realization as an adult.
Unfortunately for Tipping, his commitment to the force was cut short. Tipping died on May 29th - three days after sustaining a fatal spinal cord injury during a training at the Los Angeles Police Department's police academy in Elysian Park. But Tipping's mother, and her attorney, will argue that this was a wrongful death and LAPD is responsible. "I think that he was beaten and he ended up being killed because of it," Gage said.
The claim alleges that the Pasadena native was beaten to death during an exercise meant to simulate a mob. LAPD has not clarified what kind of training it was or provided any details on what went on during it.
